K1 VISA PETITIONER UNEMPLOYED; NO NVC LETTER THAT CASE IS READY; FORM I-134

[Aphro01 0]

Hi. My fiance (petitioner) has already received our letter from NVC stating that our petition is on its way to Manila Consulate. However, it has been more than a month and we still have not received a letter saying that our case is ready (which I believe is what we need so we can schedule a medical exam and interview). Should we wait for it, or schedule the exam and interview already?

 

Also, my fiance lost his job just this year, and has been unemployed for months. He is now working for his dad for a month. We wonder what we should write on annual income section of the form i-134. I will appreciate any reply regarding this matter. Thanks!

The letter from NVC is what you need.  If you wait for a letter from the embassy you will wait a very long time.   All the instructions are on the embassy website.   Find them, follow them

 

Look up your status online at ceac.state.gov

Unfortunately, everytime my fiancé and I try to check our status online (we've tried it many times), it always says number or application ID is invalid, that is even before we received the letter from NVC. We can't get ahold of the embassy too through their hotlines.

I'm not sure what you mean, but I checked it on the nonimmigrant Visa status checker.

Got it. It says it's ready. Thank you so much! I'd really appreciate it if you can help me with my second question. Thank you!

Annual income is his current rate annualized.   So monthly pay times 12, hourly pay  time 2080, etc.

Thanks. However, he has been at his current job for only a month. Which means, he doesn't have proofs or paystubs to support that annual income rate (I'm actually not sure if those are needed). Wouldn't that inaccurately reflect his financial status? Thanks.

Doesn't matter.  That's how you calculate the answer to this question.   He only needs to support the periodic amount that was the basis for the calculation

You use ceac.state.gov enter "immigrant " and your case number for current status.

Manila US Embassy states that a scanned copy of the signed I-134 is fine, if you don't have the original.
