amount 'could be' around £3500 to self sponsor?

By what was said yes, I would also ring or email the embasssy to see what there take is on self sponsoring.

I'm just a lil curious because being that I am self-employed, I have to show 3 yrs tax returns, which I don't have cos for 4 years I didn't work. I only started working again in the middle of last year..so this concerns me as it related to the Affadavit of Support.

I've heard about people self-sponsoring thru London, and I'm just curious if anyone here has done it?

Thx

Lisa

Hi Lisa

i am not sure if jenart did that as her daughter had only been self employed for a short while, why not drop London and email and check if it can be done for you.

Hope all is well

I know someone who JUST interviewed around May/June had a bit of a tricky time with his sponsors so he ended up sponsoring himself (I'm trying to remember his review...something about they were saying his fiancee had children she actually didn't...)

Paul was prepared to self-sponsor if we ran into any trouble but I was accepted just fine. I've heard the amount really varies, anywhere from something like 1,000GBP to 5,000...hopefully someone will have a concrete answer for you.

Good luck!

Yes, many people self sponsor with no problems at all.

I self-sponsored. I emiled the embassy with list of my assets and asked them if it would be enough. They said yes and I printed out that reply to take with me at the interview. They just took photocopies of evidence I brought and that was that.

Unfortunately, you can't do it when it comes to AOS though.

I also self sponsored, and used the same assets at AoS.

Last I heard it was c 3,500 quid.

A couple of years back this would not of happened, anyway back to subject, I seem to remember a couple who did not have a sponsor and they said the US Embassy had told them that approximately £8000 or in that region was the amount needed to self sponsor. I have been looking at the US Embassy web site and I can not find what I am looking for but it was done. Maybe by putting self sponsor in the search box that might bring up a couple of posts.

As for this forum .... YES it has been helpful and as I've said there are a lot of nice people in this world but a few are spoiling it for the rest and that is why people are moving away from VJ. Richi it might make sense to go to the Family Based Immigration web site. Wenchie is there she may be able to point you in the right direction.

thanks janice. i did ask it in the uk forum, but it bloody well got moved!

This does not surprise me, there seems to be a problem with the moderators moving things that are specific to the region, obviously this needs to be addressed, you need to ask the idiots to put it back.

WoW mary how did I miss this, You SO will be with you now hope you are having the best of times.

Hugs

Janice

You guys waited sooooooo long for this, Congratulations

Richi

Actually you can self sponser in the United Kingdom, maybe you should ask this question in the UK forum as I know that members have done this.

Janice

Best wishes and good luck

I have taken my details off this forum, some people are nice and others are not so nice so for the time being I think it is appropriate that my details are gone. Good luck to those still waiting.

HA

The reason why people have not warmed to you is purely because you are an ignorant American who is nasty through and through. YOU still do not get it, it is YOU that is the problem. Sheeese talk about thick.

No need for a public debate :-p.

Why not??

As a side note now I know why HA gets along with mags. Took me a long time to figure that one out. No wonder people are leaving VJ in droves. I used to find information in this forum useful but now it's a lot of Brit bashing by HA and what have you done about it a big fat NOTHING. You wonder why other people are setting up there own web sites when you treat your own members so shabbily.

Have a nice day

I sent my husband my daughters birth certificate via Airsure (post office) the bloke said it would take 5 days and I blooming well paid extra and after 2 weeks it still has not arrived. I rang DHL at 11:20 this morning, at 12:00 my second package to my husband is on it's way and the lady said it should arrive tomorrow, I will let you know the results. This service has just cost me £44.27 so I popped a note in for hubby as well and they also provided the envelope. Now that is what I call service.

Janice

OMG a super speedy timeline, hope everything goes ok.

Janice

Hmmm. I'm trying to guesstimate when we'll get our interview. Packet 3 gets returned to the embassy tomorrow -- I notice someone has an early July interview scheduled -- maybe mid-July? (assuming that Packet 4 gets turned around quickly.)

I hope it is a quick turn around for you, Best Wishes.

Janice

Charles lmao

HA

I have read a number of posts that You have written. I do not care to argue with you, personally I do not think you are or ever have been nice to any British person. I do not even think it is in you to be nice to any Brit, I am surprised your husband has not asked for a divorce, you obviously hate us Brits so why be married to one. I feel sorrow that you should feel this way, I am of the belief that everyone should get on. You have Whined and Whined about everything that is British, York and England is better off without you and your ignorance. You have an Axe to grind and you obviously enjoy taking it out on people you do not know. You are the reason why so many Brits get pissed off by American's and you sit there saying you do not do this or that. I am not surprised you have no British friends it is you who has the problem and it will not go away by disrespecting us Brits because we have a different view to you.

Oh and by the way I defend what I feel is right as do you, we are always going to have different views.

being ruled from Brussels should get em at it

ROTFLMFAO

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ya think so? I worked at one of the UK's largest insurance companies on contract for a year and a half, and pretty much nobody followed data protection. I couldn't give details without getting people fired, but let's put it this way...your data isn't safe anywhere that people have access to it.

The law is the law no matter how it is put, go to court and then tell me it will or will not work. If you do not mind breaking the law then that is ok.
