It depends on the consulate. I e-mailed the consulate in Rio and they spelled out everything very clearly that I need with the Aff. of Supp.

Good Luck,

That was an excellent idea. I called the Consulate and they told me exactly what I needed. They were very friendly and I was not placed on hold, I was directed right to the person with the answers. FYI I only needed IRS transcript or certified copy of most recent tax return with W-2 and letter from employer.

No bank information is needed. And yes it looks like every consulate has their own requirements so I would advise anyone that is not sure to email or call the consulate for answers.

Thanks everyone for their input.

I would highly recommend getting everything they ask for, only because they could ask for it at your interview and if you dont have it can cause a delay in your case. Presenting too much is better than too little, whatever they dont want, they will just give back to you.

Thanks for your advice. From what everyone has said I think I will play it safe and send everything.

Hello I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I don't cause any delays in our K1 by not following instructions properly. I could use some friendly advise.

In the K1 instructions received from the consulate they ask for evidence of financial support by submitting an I-134. After that they ask you for a certified copy of your federal tax returns.

In the instructions for the I-134 it states "Evidence should consist of any or all of the following documentation listed below that are applicable to your situation." It then goes on to mention that I need written statements from my bank and employer.

Is all of that necessary if I'm already giving them a copy or transcript of my tax return?

Okay, everything has gone pretty much according to plan up until now. But now we've run into a snag.

We finally have our interview date for March 21 but we are missing one important document. That document is the police certificate that is required if you have lived any where else for 6 months or more. Alma lived in Moscow while attending the University from 1987-1992 when Kazakhstan was part of the USSR.

My fiancee applied for the police certificate from the Russian Consulate in Almaty Kazakhstan in October. On December 2 she was called back to pay a fee and the consulate, as I understand it, forwards the request for the police certificate from the proper authorities, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Interior (MVD) in Moscow. Not sure if I've got the Ministries correct???

It's been almost 4 months now and still no Police certificate. Alma has been to the consulate several times to check on the status of the certificate but they can't seem to tell her any thing and treat her with indifference . We've tried everything that we can think of and it's getting us absolutely nowhere. It's so frustrating! No one seems to have any answers or seems to even care. I've tried the US consulate even but they can't do anything either.

We are exploring the option of sending her to Moscow. That's going to cost alot of money and then there is no guarantee she can get the police certificate. I can scrap together the money if need be but I thought I would see if anyone here on VJ has had any experience with this type of situation.

Any Advise out there? Should we wait longer for the Police Certificate and take the chance of receiving a 221g or should we go to Moscow now? Any other ideas?

Congratulations!!! Vermont Center is so faster than the others. Good luck to the both of you.

hi crew, i understand your situacion dealing with foreigner embassy regarding police certificate

why russian consulate did received fees and do nothing,i wait for several months now and can not nothing do

I may sound dumb but i dont know how to change my timeline since the website format changed. Can anyone help me?

Allison

first of all you're not dumb, it's taking some getting used to the new changes here on VJ. to change your timeline first click on "Immigration Timelines" at the top of the page then click on "Edit / Add my Entry" under the Timeline Function heading.

Finally! NOA2 RECEIVED and APPROVED!!! I received an email notification today that we were approved yesterday on January 31.

It's been kind of stressful waiting and waiting . please update your timelines, mine and I'm sure others are getting estimated dates that are really way off.

i.e.

"Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as February 25, 2006*.

If this date has passed by more than 10 days or your application is past due per USCIS processing times then you should consider calling the USCIS to inquire on your petition. If you have been approved please update your timeline."

please disregard this post, I'm just trying to find a way to view my timeline
