awesome!!!

congrats!!

I argued your exact same point God is Good but..... BUT...... Meauxna set me straight on the I-9 receipt issue

and read the VJ discussion;

you dont need w-2's if you send tax transcripts

it should

if just dad is the sponsor then his is the only sig required. the w-2's on his tax return will show separation of income.

there is no provision with the I-134 that allows for a joint-sponsor. ensure that either fiance or dad has adequate resources.

I would imagine if a copy of the tax return is adequate then a copy of the attachments, including the W-2 would be too

I cant recall......can transcripts be faxed?

dai seems to be on a time crunch here and Im wondering if he'll be able to obtain the transcripts in time....which would stink

what eveidence do you have other than the 1040?

well, simply reading dai's original post , one could learn that he is the beneficiary and they have filed for a k-1......but you still should still fill in a timeline dai

London allows the beneficiary to use their own assets and income that will continue once you are in the US.

If your fiance's income and/or assets are sufficient, there's really no need to offer yours.

Good Luck on Monday

well we'll all certainly be crossing any appendages we have, on your behalf!!!!!!!

CR_1's are only processed in MOntreal so no transfer possible.

Call NVC and see what's up ...........Good Luck

fill it out , play it safe since you're not certain what the consulate requirements are. put togther your moms package and a separate one for yourself showing your current income supported by a letter from your employer and some pay stubs, 6 or so. wouldnt it be unfortunate if your consulate asks for it and you didnt do one? offer up moms but she'll have yours in case its asked for.

best of luck

you wont find a lot on here reccomending a lawyer unless your situation is unusual.

the lawyer wasn't kidding when he said theyre slow right now which im guessing was why he strongly suggested you do a straight CR-1. they seem to be faster right now with Montreal as the consulate and in the end a way better visa to have.if going back to Ireland isnt an issue then that's the way I'd go for sure.

so now , not only are we related but we have the same friends too

Maybe we're the same person? No wait, that would mean I'd be a USC or you'd be a Canadian.

Im Canadian by injection

yeah Im goin ta hell

well that's more polite a response than most get.......you're so close.......i feel it in my old bones

well basically because theyre 2 separate processes. i think people commonly mistake them as similar processes but really the k-3 has more in common process-wise with the k-1.

so be excited , you've earned it

thats the number

YES! I've heard that more times than I can count. I actually had a co worker ask me why he didn't just come over on a boat like some other immigrants have done. Sheesh!

HA!

I still get, "What do you mean you couldn't just move here/there?" and "I thought you would get an instant greencard when you got married". Um yeah, not so easy. Their eyes usually start glazing over after I start telling them about the I-130/I-129F... for the K3.

so now , not only are we related but we have the same friends too

did u kiss him?

Congrats!!!........almost there now

Thats exactly right Misa.......someone ELSE holds the cards for when WE can begin our lives. Like being a kid again.......mom and dad say when and how.

I think as much as being Can/Am couples we're fortunate in many ways but in the same manner we're more frustrated since we share this open border that anyone can just walk across really, yet held to the same standards for immigration that the world is. If I had a dollar for everytime I heard " well it's JUST Canada "........

Great news for you Misty ......enjoy that gift!!!!!

YES! I've heard that more times than I can count. I actually had a co worker ask me why he didn't just come over on a boat like some other immigrants have done. Sheesh!

I told my husband several times to take a holiday in Mexico and then just walk over ......the govt might even give him a cell phone:unsure:

right off the top of my head Im thinking of 2 Cr-1'ers who were scheduled an interview within 2 months of their case complete date at the NVC.

Im not sure if I was clear regarding the 6 month wait .......thats for the k-3 once it reaches Montreal.

i thought a bit more on returning the packet3 stuff. what the heck , send it back. then if theres a glitch in your IR-1 for some freak reason, you'll have your place in line for the K-3. sending the checklist ds-156 and ds-230 wont hurt anything since when the IR-1 gets to the consulate , it'll cancel the k-3 and thats what you'll interview for.

ugh im rambling.......

yeah yeah !!!!

pfffffffft

Our I-130 took just about a month to get from the CSC to the NVC

the safe answer is to do what's current........new letter , new I-134. You might consider keeping the old employment letter.....if it shows long term employment but a lesser rate of pay, it could validate your job change. If it doesnt show improvement or cast a positive light I'd ditch it.

Great news autumn!!!
