If I am not mistaken... if you elect to use transcripts, you don't need the W2's. But I hope someone else can confirm...

Congrats for you and everyone else that is waiting for their interview date! Time is flying! Best of luck!

Excellent thread

I received my NOA2 on May 3. I did myself a favor and stopped stressing over the NVC stage ... til today! hehe

I know each case is different. I haven't attempted to call the NVC number because I don't have the case number they assign... so can I call even if I don't have it (I'm the petitioner)?

I'm sorry if someone already answered something similar... I may have overlooked.

The wait, painful indeed... Is there a trend to what time NOA2s are received during the day? Or do they seem to be at random times, including weekends (Possible?)

I'm trying my best not to check everyday, although in the last few days I can't help myself.

We´d like to go to Puerto Rico... since it´s US territory, I hope so! Well, I dont wanna jump ahead of myself... hehe we´ll see as soon as we see some kind of progress to our journey..

Hooray for another NOA2! Congrats!

you are all funny I am doing my best to keep my sanity. I try not to check more than once a day, I even try to skip a day.... My NOA1 was on Dec. 5. Must keep my hopes high.... Best of luck to everyone waiting

any NOA2s?

My estimate shows at the end of April.. SIGH... hopefully things get rolling for everyone waiting...

congrats!!

Hello everyone,

I read the guide on Guatemala's Portal regarding what is expected for a beneficiary to bring along on a K1 interview. It says to bring the I-134 notarized, but is it necessary for sure??? But I sent an email to the Embassy and they told me I don't need to get it notarized... perhaps a member may confirm this for me through their own experience, in Guatemala?

Thanks in advance

I forgot one more thing. Say my fiance gets an interview in late June. And my father gets a letter from his employer stating when his employment began, title of his position and how much he earns there.... say in April.... will that be a problem? Or should I wait until we cross the NOA2 bridge to get that letter?

Thank you for the responses.

There is a question where it says when my father entered the US, unless I looked at a wrong form. But I will double check. Good to know that I can find a date on my father's GCard regarding when his residency took place. Lifts a worry :-)

Thanks again...

The household size will be your father, his spouse, any dependent children under the age of 21, any other dependents claimed on their taxes, plus your fiance(e). $45k a year is most likely more than enough to meet the 125% requirements, as he has enough for up to a household size of 7: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

Oh, and it doesn't matter that he files jointly with your mom.

Since the income is more than enough, there is no need to list any assets. Just leave those parts of the form blank.

If he is an LPR, then he just needs to answer d. in part 1, give his A#. Question 2 asks for the date he started residing in the US. He does not know when he became a resident? My husband's green card says "Resident Since:" with a date there. If he doesn't know, I guess an approximate date will have to do.

You both will fill out your own I-134 form, and the evidence needed is the most recent year's tax transcript(or complete copy of the tax return including all forms and schedules plus W-2s and/or 1099s), a letter from employer stating position and salary, a few months worth of his most recent pay stubs, plus proof he is an LPR (front and back copy of his green card). If you have never filed taxes, make a statement explaining that you have not filed taxes because you were not legally required to by the IRS because your income was 0, or was too low (state income to show it was too low).

Hello everyone,

I'm currently awaiting an NOA2 and hoping there won't be a RFE. I am trying to become familiar with the next steps. I have taken a look at the form I-134. I will be needing a joint sponsor since I am unemployed. There a bunch of questions that left me clueless.

For instance, my joint sponsor will be my father and he is a Permanent Resident. There are questions there pertaining to when he entered the US and when he was given the Green Card. I think. Unless, I am mistaken. My parents don't remember the exact dates and I am wondering if we put an estimated date, will that be a major mistake?

Another thing, he files taxes with my mom, but she doesn't earn any income, will that be an issue since her name will appear on the tax transcripts?? Also, will I need more proof besides the income tax transcripts?

They pay a mortgage, so should we include that in that, too?? And are bank statements needed, even if they don't have an accumulated amount of savings?

Just in case, my father earns over 45K a year from his job, so from what I have seen, that won't be an issue.

Replies will be immensely appreciated.

Hey there! Welcome aboard!

I'm from Guatemala as well and waiting for our NOA2.

Take care!

Hola! I hope you receive your NOA2 soon! I am already becoming obsessed with checking my status update, but I know I am being very silly. I still have a few months to go! When do you anticipate your NOA2 to arrive?

Welcome to VJ. You'll find a wealth of information here as well as folks that have experienced all you are going through. Use the resources here on VJ and start getting prepared for the next step. 5 months of waiting for the NOA-2 seems like a lifetime, but it's over before you realize it and then you have some real work to do in order to get ready for the interview.

Start gathering the necessary documents NOW and ask any questions you might have.

Welcome and best of luck!

Thank you. Questions I already have a bunch! hehe But I hope to look through a lot of topics first and hope to gather answers...

Hello and thank you all for the welcoming!! I could not remember my login info... teehee but glad to be back!!!

Hi everyone,

I am not sure if I am posting in the right place, but if I am wrong please do direct me.

Well, I am currently awaiting for the NOA2, I do realize it will be a few months from now, so in the meantime, I want to communicate with other members to help ease the wait. I'm the USC and my fiance is in Guatemala. From my NOA1, I know my case was forwarded to the California Service Center. If anyone has anecdotes to share, feel free...

I'm looking forward to interact on VisaJourney. Thank you for reading!
