What did you put on current annual income and what evidences did you provide to support that? While your last years income shows your financial health, the annual income for the year 2016 is what counts and it seems like you did not provide such.

So, if your annual income for 2016 is more than the threshold for your household size, re-fill i864, put expected annual year income for 2016 in current annual income box, provide your employment verification letter from your employer and recent few months of paystubs as evidences of current income.

Hmm, thanks. Is the i-864 the only form I should send again along with the proof of income docs?

Hi all,

My wife and I sent out the AOS package and money about 2 months ago. She did her biometrics one month ago, we just got an RFE today for the I-485 saying her sponsor's (me) income does not meet the pvery requirement guidelines and to provide proof of other assets or find a co-sponsor. The thing is that my AGI for 2014 was $19,940 and for 2015 it was $23,604. So why are they saying my income isn't enough? We sent 6 months worth of bank statements and paystubs along with w-2's and the letter of hire from when I started my new job of October 2015. My last job I was only making around $20k a year. This job I started last October pays double that. Should I get a more recent letter stating I work at the new job fulltime and what my salary is? What else could I possibly provide? I know the 2014 income is barely over the guideline, but my 2015 income is well over it and it'll be way over for this year. I'm at a loss here and really don't see why I should have to use a co-sponsor. We appreciate any advice.

Great news...congratz...!

Thanks Bro, you were a big help throughout these tense months.

Issued!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like your case file is getting touched. That's a good sign. You should hear some good news soon...some very good news!

That's what I'm thinking too ;D

Status under non-immigrant just changed to Admin processing. Hoping the next update will be issued.

Best wishes for a smooth interview and a speedy visa delivery.

Hey Tahoma, She had her interview on january 12th. The visa status online changed several times and is still on "ready" status. It's almost a month now. Any idea what might be taking so long? They told her in the interview she was approved, she just had to go to the nso office to get an updated cenomar sent to the embassy.

Hey buddy, thanks again for the advice. She finished all her medical stuff yesterday, her interview is in 2 weeks and all done!

As I said, her interview is on December 7th, they told her to come back for the pysch eval on December 28, so should she still go to the interview?

Hey guys, Tahoma, or anyone else. So my Fiance had her medical yesterday, everything went fine except for I guess she has some scars on her wrist (that I didn't know about) from when she was depressed after breaking up with her ex several years ago. We had her scheduled to interview on December 7th, and now the SLEC told her she has to come back on December 28 for a Psych eval!!!! ughhh!!!! How can they make her come back over a month away???? Does this sound normal? I've read of other people in this situation and their fiance usually has to come back a couple days later, but a whole month?????

It was smooth sailing up to this point, I knew eventually our luck would run out :/

The saga continues. Things for my fiance and I on our K1 petition have been pretty smooth so far. I guess something was bound to happen. So get this, earlier today I take over all the documents she needs for her K1 interview to FedEx. The moron working there told me the Envelope was going to Tageuguro City, I called up FedEx after I get home to get the address of where she needs to pick it up, and this moron lied to me and had them sent to Manila! My fiance is in Kalinga and now freaking out because she is afraid to go all the way down there to get the documents. I guess they will need picked up at an AirSpeed location in Paranque. Has anyone ever dealt with this company? Are they reliable? According to their website they have a location in Bagiuo and I know my Fiance would feel better going there since her sisters live there. But I'm not putting much faith in the company forwarding it there for us. Any advice?

Next week, when they receive your petition, you might try emailing the U.S. Embassy with the correction. Also, call the NVC and find out what they can do about it.

In the meantime, you now have your MNL case number, so you can go ahead and pay the visa application fee and schedule an interview.

Cool, thanks again bud.

Best wishes to you both for a smooth and speedy visa journey...

Hey Tahoma, may I ask you another question since you seem to be really knowledgable with all of this? I just go the NVC notification of petition receipt. It says they will be sending it to Manila now. I noticed they spelled part of my fiance's first name wrong. She has two first names and they spelled the second wrong. Do I need to try and get this fixed? I know 100% it is a clerical error, no way her or I made this mistake.

Yes, it's confusing. So, let me explain.

The U.S. Embassy Manila used to send a K-1 interview preparation instructions letter to K-1 visa applicants. Most people called this letter "packet 3." However, many times, applicants would never receive the letter, or the letter would arrive weeks after the interview. I'm not sure the Embassy bothers to send it out anymore.

The letter is on the Embassy's web site here: http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/1178798/feb2015/K1-K2%20Applicant%20Interview%20Preparation%20Instructions%20-%20English%20_February%202015_.pdf

You don't need to receive this letter from the Embassy in order to schedule an interview and complete the medical. All you need is your MNL case number, which you get from the National Visa Center (NVC).

I don't know how other U.S. Embassies do it, but this is how the U.S. Embassy Manila rolls.

Ahhhh, thank you so much! It all makes sense now. You're a lifesaver man.

The only thing the Embassy is going to send your fiancée is her visa packet (a week or two after she passes her interview).

When you schedule the interview, I believe it asks for the visa applicant's delivery address. If so, then you can change it at that time.

Also, I believe she can change her delivery address at the releasing window after the interview.

I'm so confused, because if you look at the flowchart on VJ step 7 says they will prepare letter to be sent to my fiance. And Step 8 says forms and a checklist will be sent to her. Can you elaborate on this? If they aren't sending her anything until after the interview then that will be ok because we can change her address online. But I'm worried about what this flowchart says about sending her a packet once the embassy receves the petition. Flowchart below:

Ahh, thanks. I think this is what we needed: http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-deliveryaddressmodify.asp

Hi all, I have one more question. When we filed the I129-F my fiance was living in Manila. She recently went back to her hometown in Kalinga province. Is there anyway to get her address changed so she gets the notice from the embassy in Kalinga? It will be hard for her to get the mail at her old Manila address. I found out how to change my address online but I can't find anything regarding an address change for the beneficiary. Thanks.

Thanks a lot guys.

I have scoured the internet for hours trying to answer all my questions and am still confused about some things. I appreciate any advice from those of you who have been through this.

My annual income on my 2014 w2 is $19,940. This is just over the 125% poverty guideline for household of 2. So would it be sufficient to just send my 1040 and w2? I read somewhere That we only need to provide letters from our banks/employers if we don't meet it. I'm asking because I really don't feel like messing with those if I don't have to. And do they care if my bank account balance on my statements is only a between $500-$1,000 at any given time?

Our NOA2 has an expiration date of January 2016, does that mean we have until then to prepare everything for the I-134 and get her into the Embassy for the interview?

Thanks.

call them.

Thanks, I emailed them and will call them Monday. For anyone who sees this in the future, I also submitted an online request at this URL: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayTypoForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=typoError

Ok, Idk why, maybe I'm dyslexic or something, but I've always had a problem with mixiing her DOB up with July 28th when it is July 26th. I just got the NOA1 and her DOB is July 28th on it! How bad is this? Are we totally screwed? Or can I just call them at the number on the NOA1 and get it corrected? Freaking out here, I can't believe I made this stupid mistake, I'm hoping it's the error of USCIS but I doubt it.

Also, can anyone tell me if it is a bad idea for my fiance to come live with me on Tourist Visa for a while? I'm moving way out west to Arizona for a job and dont want to make the move alone so I want to fly her over and go with me. Once we settled in we'll send her back to manila to finish up the Visa. This won't create problems will it? Thanks!!!!!!!!!

disregard this question. I've since discovered that a b2 would just be denied.

I have another question that is pretty important: Is there deadline I have to send out the packet once I've received the documents from my fiance? She dated them June 26.

thanks bud!
