Another affidavit of support question..

[Amina_KSA 0]

Sorry gang,

I know these questions get redundant...

Ok, I am a bit concerned about the affidavit of support because I am currently living outside of the USA with my husband, and I'm not working. I have no income to claim on the affidavit...

However, I do have a mother and a grandmother who are more than pleased to fill out financial support forms, and both meet the 125% criteria, etc...

Is there hope for us?

Thanks,

Amina

Simple answer is yes, there is always hope when you have family members willing and able to help. They have to fill in forms too, the guides should tell you which ones or I am sure someone will be able to assist you with that. Good luck.

Janice,

Thanks so much for your answer. I guess I have another rather stupid question...but how do you guys sort out all the information out there and know how to file all of these papers? I really have no one to help us with this and we are so scared that we'll miss a document or make a simple mistake that could have been avoided had we had someone to guide us.

Amina,

Please start reading the guides in this forum. Then ask questions. We will try to answer your questions. Good Luck.

My husband and I did DCF in Cairo, and we didn't know anything about the process, either. But, when I called the US Consulate in Cairo, they gave me a list of the information I needed to file a petition. They told me which papers needed an english translation, where to get certified copies of certain documents, and they told me I could pick up a packet of information at the window of the Consulate. The packet was the most helpful. And, if I didn't understand something in the packet, I would send an email or call the American Services at the Embassy.

After we were sure we had the right information, I called and made an appointment to file the I-130 petition. Contact your embassy in Riyadh to see what your requirements are, and ask if they can send you a packet of information, or if you can pick it up.

It can seem like you're stuck in a rat maze at times. But, just take everything step by step.
