    I-134 Documentation Dates

    in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

    Posted

    hi, can you tell me if both the parents are co-sponsor, both of them should sign the same I-134 or either one of them will be ok? Need to use both of their income.

    thanks.

    The consulate may request a copy of 2007 IRS return, since the filing deadline is now past.

    Bank statement are not needed if income exceeds 125% povertyline.

    One thing about I-134, the directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

    The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

    In our case this what the I-134 included.

    • I-134 signed and notarized.

    • SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

    • Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)

    • Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.

    • Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.
    My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

    If your income exceeds 125% or (100% for military) of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.

    File I-845 or I751?

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted · Edited by LHH

    My friend entered US with K3 visa, she had 2 year Green Card, but divorced with ex-husband before the Green Card expired, she sent in the I-751 to removed conditional for green card, but not result yet. And it's 7 months after the green card expired even after one year extended. Now she married another US citizen, she want to apply green card again. Should she sent in I-485 or I-751? is she legally to get another 2 year green card? what current INS status does she hold? On the I-845 form, how should she fill in teh I-94#, the date of last arrival, expires date and so on?

    Thank you very much.

    Sorry it's I-485 not I-845 form

    But the instrustion on the I-129F form said, if you live in TX, you send to the Vermont Center, why should send to CSC? Thank you.

    which date is the divorce date?

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    My friend felt confused about his divorce date. Please help if anyone know about that. Thank you for any reply from all of you first.

    My friend filed divorce application in Jan , 2004 at Boston, but on the certificate, there is a date of (April , 2004) 90 days having expired since the entry of teh divorce. And there is 3rd date that register of counrty at Boston. So which date is for his divorce truly? Thank you very much.

    The latest of those three dates sounds like the date the final divorce decree was recorded but the Commonwealth of MA has a special terminology and document that signifies the official end of a marriage. It is called "Certificate Of Absolute". I suspect that has the date you're really looking for.

    Thank you for your help. There is a paragraph on the certificate. " I further certify taht on Apr, 2004, ninety days haveing expired since the entery of the divorce nisi and the Court not having otherwise orderd, said Judgment of Divorce became absolute." This date means the end of the marriage??

    I-751 List of evidence

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi, can you tell me the service center address on the receipt (797) which you received after you sent the I-751 form?

    Thank you.

    My thoughts on pictures:

    I personally think it's nice to have a few pictures in the package, IF you have pictures that are worth sending. I agree that it's not necessary to send an entire album, and if you don't have any snaps that you consider worthwhile, no need to include any then. Pics wouldn't be at the top of my list; I think financial ties are far more important, but a few snaps are nice as visual evidence that you are recognized socially as a couple by your family and friends.

    IMO, what's worth sending and what's not:

    - picture of the two of you -- may not be worth sending

    - picture of the two of you at your family reunion, together with assorted close relatives -- VERY worth sending as it shows that your entire family recognizes you socially as a couple

    - picture of the two of you at a wedding, accompanied by invitation addressed to both of you for said wedding -- IMO worth sending as again, it shows that other people recognize you as a couple

    - vacation shots of the two of you, together with tickets/receipts from said vacation -- I think that's nice, it shows you travel together

    For anyone who is just in the process of collecting evidence for their eventual removal of conditions, I would say to try to get some photos with both of you in it, along with family and friends. If the two sides of the family ever get together (for example, if your in-laws come to visit you and your parents come by too), definitely get pictures of both of you with both sides of the family. At our AOS interview our AO seemed very impressed by that particular picture (it was a photo of me, my husband, his parents, and my mom and sister all together at the Alcatraz Island attraction in San Francisco) -- I recall marking that as the moment in the interview when she felt satisfied that we were indeed married. After that she went through the motions of collecting our financial evidence and then pronounced us approved and shooed us out of her office.

    BTW, in addition to our financial ties evidence, this is what we sent photos/cards-wise in our I-751 package:

    - photo of the two of us at my family reunion, with travel tickets and thank you note from my cousin thanking my husband for assuming all BBQ duties at the reunion

    - photo of the two of us at a visit to hubby's family abroad

    - photo of the two of us at a friend's wedding, with wedding invite and thank you note for our wedding gift

    - photo of the two of us re-visiting our place of marriage (on the opposite coast from where we live now)

    - Correspondence addressed to both of us that referenced activities we did with the card sender (for example a thank you note from out-of-town guests who stayed with us for a weekend)

    For photos I put captions underneath identifying who was in the picture and the context of the situation. I also put on post-it notes on the letters/notes, indicating the reason I was including each note (e.g. "note from friends thanking us for our hospitality during their stay with us on X date").

    We chose not to do affidavits as we felt our photos/letters accomplished the same goal, and this way we didn't have to bother anyone.

    P.S. We were approved in June -- about 2.5 months after we sent it in to CSC.
