Used to be send the original civil doc and a copy of it. Now that it's just photocopies, should we send one or two of each do you think?

I sent two photocopies of all the civil docs. Probably unnecessary, but given it only cost me a couple of cents per sheet to do them, I figured why not?

Just because you didn't leave it blank does not mean it's correct. If you put the incorrect amount, then a checklist would be generated.

do we need to send the original cheaklist and the bar code cover sheet to along with the corected aos form

[simmii 0]

for my case we we sent 4 paper checklist letter, 1 paper letter of unemployment of petitioner, 9 paper of form i-864 petitioners. (for joint sponsor everything was ok.)

I'm self employed subcontracted by a company. I don't get paychecks, All my payments received are through square which is a credit card program used on my iphone. The company I'm subcontracted by doesn't have letterhead paper that they can write a employment letter on, it would just be on a plain paper typed up. What should I do? And why would they need proof of my employment if my income alone isn't enough to be a sponsor?

Thanks.

Take screenshots from the iPhone, print it out and send it to them with an explanation letter. Get the employment letter on plain paper as well.

How can I not be gussa?? They are not even clear with their directions!! I am scared to receive another checklist in January!! Then I would have to wait till March!! I am prolly gonna end up killing myself lol

1) They are clear about the 60 days waiting period to review documents.

2) If you feel the checklist was inappropriate, you can ask for supervisor review. And if everything is in order you should not get another checklist.

Hi,

I have another question about AOS this time;

Did anyone complete AOS based purely on amount of money in your bank, in property and so on - without any income?

Basically my wife (who is petitioning for me) is US citizen but she does not work at the moment, caring for out two kids, lets say she's a homemaker. I do all the work and in fact I work and get paid in the USA, although I live in Ukraine. We file joint tax return which shows my income there, but I don't think it can be counted toward those AOS guidelines, even though it's US based income and it will keep coming. I don't have any paperwork to show this income as it's my own business and all I have is bank account with money coming in an out.

But we do have enough money in our bank account plus property that is well beyond that 3x poverty line required for those who do not have enough income.

Would that work - showing just the bank accounts and property values without any income from petitioner's side at all? Or can I include my US based income while being applicant (heh, sponsoring myself, am I?).

Thanks!

Technically, it will not work just showing assets though if the assets are several times the yearly salary required then it may suffice. I would strongly advice showing some kind of home business for your wife until such time the process is completed. The AOS is in case where you lose the ability to support yourself and there must be a US citizen able to take responsibility for you in that case.

So we are doing the same thing that you've just listed - Our money in assets (housing, savings, ect.) is well above the poverty line. The NVC isn't the one who actually approves if the money that you are able to show (only in assets) is enough - the embassy is the one who does that. So in my perspective as long as you are able to show that your assets are well over and can be turned into liquid cash within 1 year and well over the poverty line based on your household number then you should be okay to just use your assets.

We have a house and well over the amount in savings. I am connected to his accounts and he's been living with me (married) for over 6 years abroad. In addition we have a job offer contract that we have attached as well so when we come over we have proof that we will have a job (however the contract won't count as money assets - only that we will not be without a job and that's up to the consulate here to confirm if that's enough).

Good luck and I'll keep everyone updated on how NVC takes it!

Thank you for reply,

You have just game me a bright idea, my wife will be working for this company of mine getting all the income listed as mine otherwise. Since I can't sponsor myself I will ask my business partner in the US to make a letter with company's letterhead on top stating my wife is an employee of it (independent contractor via 1099 would be easy to do).

That would give us 60% of income requirement.

864P shows 125% of poverty line for family of 4 as almost $30K. We have 20K in income now, need another $10K multiplied by 3 for US citizens sponsoring spouses. We have around $35K in bank plus property with mortgage paid off, I guess it should be good then.

Thank you for the info, please let us (me :-) know how that will work out for you, I have exact same situation. I will follow same road just behind you! Good luck!

Just one photocopy is needed as you're eliminating the original. Don't try to confuse NVC by sending two

If your source of income is going to continue once you move to the US, you can absolutely use it!
