Hi to everyone.

Im new to this forum and site. and to be honest and straight up im so frustraded with the visa process :) me and my fiance are waiting like over 4month now to get the noa2. and its a lil bit exhausting to wait and wait and dont know if and when u get an approval.

and now my fiance found out he dont hit the fiancial support guide minimum cuz his hours got cut back like bad last year. so we are thinking bout getting a co sponsor but that aint easy to find. i heared bout the other option u have to have an specific amount of money in ur account. he aint much under the minimum mabye a grand not even. so does anyone know if it would help to put an specific amount of money in his account and how much would that be??? or if it helps that i have financial security and proof of it??

it would be great if anyone can give me some good info bout it. thank you all already for ur help.

and hope for ya all the visa process goes thru easy and fast

Hello!

Many of us have felt the same frustration that you describe; we wait for months hoping for an approval and that is only the first part of the process! Then, more waiting and fees and finally the interview. Yet, there is no guarantee that after all this wait and expenses the visa will be granted! So to speak, all amounts to an opportunity to convince a consul of the beneficiary's visa worthiness...

Best wishes!

You need at least three times the shortfall of income in assets, so if your fiance is $1000 below the 125% poverty limit, he'd need at last $3000 is his savings account. Before that they usually want to see a year's worth of bank account records, so if $3000 suddenly shows up in his account, they may be suspicious about that (think you are paying him for the visa, or the money is just borrowed briefly to get the visa and will then be given back to whoever gave it to him).

hi and thanks for ur answer. yeah thats what i thought as well but kinda hoped there would be an easy choice u know. i mean i lived b4 in the states went to college there and worked there as well. and i have the money to support both of us or my parents would support us financial if its needed. its just hard to understand when i have the money and have the savings why wouldnt they accept that as a security.
