In your prior posts, for K1 you did not have enough money, hopefully this situation has changed, are you of legal age yet?

oh i have plenty enough money to petition, just not to sponsor and nope! a few more days!

They shouldn't deny it just because he is visiting no lol.

okay and would it be fine if he stay here with me during the whole process and go back up for the interview when it comes time?

You would put N/A from Canada. Canadians do not get I-94 when visiting. You will probably have to write it by hand on the form to fit it since the box is small.

so do i just put visitor then? and n/a in the little boxes? and would they deny it if he is here with me?

Did he become your husband overnight? A few hours ago you were asking about CR1 vs K1. I'm fairly certain you've applied for neither.

oh my goodness. he is coming down in about a week and we are going to get married, i did not explain because i didnt find it necessary. but no i havent filed but plan to file the CR-1 once we get the marriage certificate. so about a month... and he will still be here with me.

my husband will be in the country when filing for the CR-1. but will not have a i94. what do i put? visitor? and do i leave the I94 number blank, im so confused? and if he is in the country might they deny it?

Read this guide, it outlines all the steps from USCIS to the consulate

Good luck

oh wow, i feel a bit dumb. i didnt even realize they had a play by play, ahha!

but can be he in the states while this process is happening, that is until he has to go to the interview?

and would you say this is a better process than the K-1 visa?

No fees at the interview.. only fees you pay for CR1 is for the i130 when you file, i864 and DS230 packet for NVC when its time.. its all less than 1k

don't actually have the fees in my head right now but if memory serves me right...

we paid

355 for i130

88 for i864 packet

400 (can't remb the exact it ws under 500) for the DS230 packet

okay, so now since im all confused, and learning a whole new visa process.

do i file the i864 pacied and ds230 packet together? and do you send those in by mail, and if so, when in that process? is it after the approval of the i130?

and could he be in america with me until the time comes for him to go to the interview?

Here is the guide for CR1. http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1

comparison guide is here http://www.visajourney.com/content/compare

We also did the CR1 because to us it was just as simple as we knew we were getting married anyway so why not go ahead and do it this way.

For us, it ws better to file the CR1 so he could work as soon as he came instead of waiting to Adjust status and another 1k paid.

See if any of this helps make your decision.

the time it takes varies but usually between 3-5 months for i130 approval then another few months between NVC and waiting for the Interview date. From your country it's not common for a long AP (if any) so you could see the visa that day or within a few weeks after the interview.. so it may be about a 9 months to a year tops.. maybe longer as it's difficult to say.

Good luck

wow you were so helpful, thanks! we are def. just going to do this!

and ummm another small question. i know it is 420 to file, what are the fees after that, like for the interview that i need to know about? please help!

me and my fiance were planning on doing the K-1 visa, but now we are thinking about possibly just getting married and filing for the CR-1

how long does this process take? and how much does it cost altogether? thanks so much!

Thats what I thought.... All the Answers were assumptions. It's the begginning of the year. I'm not sure until your licensed but a Certified Nursing Assistant is Only a 9 week Course and take a test and pay a Fee.

A CNA will make more than Poverty LInes by far and be required to work So much Overtime ( Double Shifts) Most are Union and require Double time on Holidays. Being a CNA is not a job everyone wants to do, but the sick and elderly require 24 Hour Care. It is a Good job with a Future.

You just Filed your 129-F and you have lots of time before the interview to show Pay Stubs at that time. (About 7 or 8 Months from now) Your in a good position.. I'm sorry everyone assumed you were an adult but in fact your are (were) a minor.

My indication was when I seen your Time-line. LOL hahaaahhhaaa.

CNA's have a good future (Anything in Healthcare) Be pre-pared to adjust to working 50 Hours or more per week.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU

thanks so much! so i will be fine with just sending in pay stubs? and not a tax return?

but i plan on just working part time because im going to be going to school to become an RN, so i will need a co sponsor...

I'm courios of the Age of the OP? There might be well be a reason for no previous Tax returns. So, OP can you say your age. Your look both look young.

um... im 18, my fiance is 19 and my mom is 45?

I-134 only requires copies of tax returns IF a person is self-employed according to the instructions: Section: Supporting Evidence , sub-section C. -and then only a copy of the LAST tax return filed (not three years), and it states a copy of the return not a transcribe for the IRS.

Sub-section B, requests a letter on business stationery if you are employed with the required details of employment.

okay so what do i do then to state that i have only just started working? and what will i need as the primary sponsor?

and my co sponsor will need what to be exact

** two topics on the same issue merged. Please do not start new topics on the same issue; instead, if you have a follow-up question or an update, post in the same thread ***

okay. thanks, but i dont think you realize that i didnt ask the same exact question, please dont do that again. it doesnt bother anyone that i post twice, i dont post that much at all, and i am very oblivious to this and i want all the answers i can get so i can get my fiance back here. so, i could care less about having two posts that are the same topic, i just want my fiance back.

so, again.

I JUST STARTED WORKING SO I WONT HAVE ANY TAX RETURNS. what do i do?

that was my main question. and if i dont have a job at the time how do i fill out the paper work? and how does it differ from the co-sponsors?

please, just someone help me

okay i know for sure im going to need a co sponsor for my i134 form, and i have a few questions

im taking CNA classes soon, and after that i will be working part time, and i wont have any tax returns to send in due to me just getting a job... so. what do i do about my lack of tax returns for the i-134?

and okay, so do we both fill out the i134? does my co sponsor do anything different than me?

alas, one more question, what if my co sponsor doesnt have the most recent tax return?

im so scared they are going to deny us because of this

HELP

You and your joint sponsor will both fill out an I-134. You'll also both submit your most recent tax returns, and evidence of current income. Your joint sponsor will also need to submit proof that they are a US citizen or permanent resident.

The I-134 is submitted at the visa interview.

i was meaning to respond to you sooner, and say thanks! and that you have been very helpful!

and hmm okay, i wont have any tax returns to send in due to me just getting a job... so. what do i do?

and okay, so we both fill out the i134? does my sponsor do anything different than the petitioner?

and one more question, what if my co sponsor doesnt have the most recent tax return?

im so scared they are going to deny us because of this

If your state's law says you are legally able to marry at 17 then you will not need parental permission. If the law in your state lists legal age of marriage at 18 you will need parental permission.

Your birthday is in 2 weeks. Best to wait until you are 18 and file with the knowledge that you won't be denied.

Just out of courisity, how will you qualify income wise for the I-134? I assume at 17 you are probably still in school or just starting out in the work force.

Sorry that I assumed we had discussed your age in a prior post. Recently there was a young lady in a similar situation and I assumed it was you. You might want to do some forum searches where underage petitioners have dicussed exactly what you are asking.

Good luck.

haha its okay! no worries!

but no im currently taking CNA classes though, and plan on working just part time as a CNA. but i can have a co-sponsor right?

and if so what form would they have to fill out? and what would i have to fill out? gosh im so confused.

and do i have to send in the I-134 with the petition? because i didnt think i did.

This was covered many times in your PRIOR posts about you having to be able to legally marry at the time you file.

So... If you are NOT legally able to marry at the time you file due to your age your petition will be denied. You will lose your $340 petition filing fee and you will start all over again with having lost months of time waiting...

WAIT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY TO FILE...

im sorry, not meaning to be rude, but i never once asked question that had anything to do with this.

this is the first time i have ever asked about me filing before my birthday, so i am VERY oblivious.

so i couldnt even get a notarized note from my mom saying i can marry to help it? and with my birthday being so close do you think they would be okay with it? thanks.

okay so im 17, and my birthday is January 13, so its only two weeks away. could i send it in now? or do you think they will reject it? im so confused

also, my fiance is coming to see me a few days after my birthday, would that be okay? even though when i sent it in only a few weeks prior it says he isnt in the country?

and if in the case of them returning it, if he is in the country when i re-send it in, would i have to state that he is in the country? or not? PLEASE HELP

so lucky! and im very happy for you two!

They won't reject the visa because he stayed too long. The issue arises at the border. They might only give him a small window to visit because he's been there so often or they might not give him any time at all (i.e. he would be rejected at the border).

He won't be able to stay until his interview for several reasons. Once the NOA2 is received (about 5 months from NOA1) the file will be sent to Canada. He will need to have police clearances done (with fingerprints) as well as medical.

but he can stay till the noa2 right?

There's no rule about staying 30 days, unless his I-94 specifically dates his expiration date as 30 days. Do NOT overstay that date.

The issue you may have is when the IO reviews how many times your fiance has been in/out of the U.S. during the year. If it looks like your fiance is attempting to live in the U.S. (which may be considered as spending more days per year in the U.S. than in Canada) it may look suspicious. Proof of ties to Canada, return information, etc should be brought - but it should be brought regardless as entry is never guaranteed anyway.

and what is IO mean?

wait, but would it be a problem at the interview? would it deny him of a visa?!

I don't plan on returning once I have my K-1, so won't be taking anything.

yeah neither does my fiance, and he wont have a job when he comes down because he doesnt want to just leave his job without quitting a few days before..

i just dont understand.

ah! congratulations! i bet you are so relieved!

do you actually need proof that you are returning even when you get approved for the k1 visa?

could you get denied at POE if you dont have enought proof that you are returning?
