Hi everyone!  Question to all the UK to US couples.  Is anyone using a slow freight shipping company or other moving service to move some of your goods to your new home?  We’ve only got a few items that we want sent (a chesterfield sofa!) and would love to get a reference from someone here.  Thanks!

check the DHL service! In Switzerland it's pricy, but I live close to the German boarder and 31.5 kg are shipped for EUR 100! so pretty awesome deal

i clearly have way to much anxiety, i over think everything. i guess its good ive been saving, i technically don't need to show the embassy proof of the savings, they ask how much personal property on i134 so ill just put my saved money in that section. hence the reason i have a cosponsor. lol I'm so nervous about getting denied that I'm trying to do everything PERFECT!  when I'm probably over doing it!! anxiety it gets the best of all of us here! we all just want to be with our loved ones and don't want something so simple to ruin it. as far as filing my taxes of self employment i will be doing that at the end of the year. I'm not worried about that. same as the SSI because once i file then it becomes reportable income and ill just owe the SSA or my benefits will stop. re reading our posts i started to worry because the last thing i want anyone to think is I'm trying to do wrong here. i guess that's why i came here for some insight of help! your answers definitely kept me on my toes and opened my eyes. i guess i knew my own answers i just need some reassurance lol

You are complicating your situation. If your cosponsor meets the income threshold for you and your fiancee/dependents, you do not need to over report your assets. Focus on getting proof about why you haven't worked (doctors note... etc) and fill in the i134 just as an unemployed person.

There was a thread on this but I can’t find it now. I think it was within the United Kingdom regional discussion section. 

However, have a read through this, there maybe something to do with shipments from the UK within it

Hey @Keith & Monica. Congratulations on the interview glad it all went well for you both, apologies for the 221G, hopefully it'll be something that can be fast to get. 

I also have to request a Hong Kong Police Certificate as I lived there for 3 years. They only deal direct with the embassy on this, did you guys send of for it when you got your Packet 3 letter and awaited around 4 weeks? Just wanting to see if they aren't for filling the 4 week period due to delays or for other reasons as i'm soon approaching sending this off. It could also be because of mid-autumn festival recently that could have delayed it due to a week's worth of holiday?

 

Thanks,

Sunjay

My understanding on HK is that you need to have something from the Embassy that you are getting the Visa from to be able to get the PC.  This was a highly probable 221g that we were expecting.  I am not positive about it though for HK.

Congratulations, @Keith & Monica 

Hope you get those police certificates soon so you can have the visa in hand and be done ASAP.

 

Thank you so much.  It should be an easy fix, kinda knew that it would happen because of how those places do the Police Clearance.
