I remember someone getting this request recently from CFO. It was for the USC and not for the person immigrating. They made a fuss about the most recent divorce decree wasn't enough to prove the USC was single. I forget how it was resolved. Crazy.

Yes the above were email given to the F in php about me mostly.

The CFO people really dont know anything.  I posted on another thread the questions a friend of mine gf got such as "What is an SRRV" and "how could your bf retire so young" as well as "how does he get his money if he is in the Philippines?"  Completely idiotic questions and this was strictly to travel as a tourist where no CFO is even required.

 

The email you received seems more for someone not emigrating.  Proof of singleness should not be required if emigrating on a K1.  Its already been proven with the embassy.  Itinerary of travel from Day 1 until end of the meeting seems to be for someone who is planning to return to the PI.  You can buy a one-way ticket to the US on a k1.  Affidavit of support....again, something they seem to ask on temporary visits to a country.  It really does seem they sent the list of requirements for someone that would go as a tourists.....at least in the CFO people mind because by rule and law, a CFO is not even needed as a tourist.  Maybe double check they sent the right requirements because your email doesnt make sense for someone emigrating.  

Yea the writing is really broken. but its mostly asking about me the USC. About my Singleness -   The CFO website towards the end of the this whole journey right?  with the clicking on the "blue poster"  "red poster" and the directions is mind blowing. but ok complaints won't get me done. but O M G  

They asking for EVERYTHING over email like this.. all these personal documents... talk about identity theft.  Over regular email have given them passport, bank docs, credit card statements, addresses, divorce decree(s), ID, pictures, love letters, dates, times, birth certs,  Afidated of Support,  health insurance quotes,  you name it! and now they want more background after USCIS and how much business they give them?

There seems to be no consistency as to what the CFO wants. Some have asked for the same documents they have requested from you and on others they don't ask for anything. The problem comes in that you bring what they ask for and then they ask for more when you are at the interview.

I sent copies of power bills, my last couple of pay stubs, an affidavit showing she would have insurance after arrival along with background check.

As for criminal background checks for the CFO, there are several agencies that do it for a fee. You may be able to get one from your local police department. 

Wow sauce!  So guessing any Federal check would be fine?   Any good online recommend? 

Its really amazing as they know this was done already.  I told her just give a copy of the I-797 approval as that is the deepest background there pretty much is.

thanks for your reply

The last couple of days my k1 F signed up for an account to the new process for CFO. 

Nothing Easy about new process?   The councilor asking for a lot of docs. My scanned US citizen passport and gave over email.

Gave 60 pages of pictures, again, hotel stays etc. evidence that I had to spend hours and hours putting into PDF that will fit over email. Same thing they should already know that the USCIS, NVC, AND USEM already looks at. other personal docs.

USCIS does the biggest background check and 

Now they are asking for proof for a background check on me again ??????  what is the best way for this.   and what do they mean about notarize documents for invitation and support??  Proof of "singleness" ??

Attached a couple of things they ask

(22a - 26a)  You should be just fine with that.

 

 

So if just this for ex, Does that mean I can leave 'Dependents information'  10a blank?  and if not, partially or wholly?  

Sorry, we are missing each other somehow on couple things. its probably me

Your EX only needs to be listed once, same as your fiancee .. if you have the EX listed else where that is good enough.   Sorry if I missed that ... making merry  here    

 

I understand what you are saying about the EX being 100% independent, but you are on the hook for her if none of the other conditions exist because of the I-864.  She has to be listed.    

 

If her children are not getting visas at this moment, there is no reason to list them on the I-134 at this time.

Ok Hank we posted at the same time. Please read the situation better my post above your post.

I know i'm being a bit dense but the wording is so dense too on these forms. I'm burnt out.  haha but almost done.   So my plan is,  I will list my ex spouse on DEPENDANTS 10a. even though I don't know where she is . Do I list her as WHOLLY DEPENDENT ON ME???? should I say partially and explain in additional information?  And relationship to me is DIVORCED ?

AND as we already discused 22a. and 26a. (ok done)

next....    Beneficiary's children  I am leaving  BLANK. (ok done)

next....  Now that I have Dependent house of 3 to have my income show for....   I have tax transcripts and whole taxes, I got bank statements showing current revenue coming in for last quarter with profit loss statement and shows my savings of 45k confirmed by an officer of the bank, that I am deciding to put on i-134 for bank accounts even though I am above %125 of poverty for house of 3 on Self Employed income taxes 2019. I just don't think it hurts to add these extras but at least it shows that my fiancee will be ok for 90 days.

hmmmmmmmmm listed once.  like if ex on 22a 26a, then not on 10a.         Fiancce does not get listed on Dependents now, just filed petition for (30a.) and part 2.  😛

Hello,  I'm trying to figure out the form above, but ok lets clearly understand the other part ..  

I did DCF ex spouse

Quote

The CR-1 (Conditional Relative) type of spousal visa is for a couple that has been married for two years or less. The CR-1 visa entitles the foreign spouse to receive a conditional green card within the United States for a period of two years. Ninety days before the conditional green card expires, the foreign spouse can, through an adjustment of status process, apply to remove conditions and he or she will be issued a new ten-year regular green card.

So basically within one year before we had a chance to "adjustment of status process", we are separated and she takes off ,  Gets divorced with me without me being there claiming I cannot be found (not true) with the judgement date a couple days after 2 years in the USA. GC expires. I guess she sponsored herself somehow with new GC (I think). and at this point I don't know if she left the country or not as we don't really communicate anymore.

 Part 3 page 3 ;    Only your dependents are listed here.  Is you EX a USC or still a green card holder?   If still a green card holder and hasn't worked the required hours to negate the I-864 YOU are still liable and she must be listed.

Hey Hank we spoke about  having her listed on 22a and 26a, but got confused because I asked you if we need to put her anywhere else and you told me no.  I do no claim my ex as a "Dependent" . She is working independent 100%.  I understand the 864 obligations. but is 10a. pertaining to her?  and wholly or partially? even though I don't claim on taxes or supporting, nor living together.  Again understand the past 864, just not the question here as it simply sounds like a tax/children/alimony etc  question to me.

As far as green card holder, it was let expired and I have no idea if has regained it completely yet as I was left out of the AOS (divorrced etc)

4 minutes ago, Hank_ said:

 

Part 2;  If the children are not receiving visas at this time thus not moving to the USA with you they are NOT dependent on you. 

 

Ok so is it ok to leave the beneficiary's children part blank?

I recently found out your site was actually yours hehe,  was one of the better ones I naturally found myself. 

1 minute ago, Dashinka said:

Is your ex-spouse a dependent of yours?  You said you do not claim her as a dependent?  Also, is your ex still an LPR, or have they naturalized, or left the US?

I don't claim her as a dependent.    As far as LPR,  last I heard the GC was let expired but then got it back again and is working.  but  I'm just guessing all the facts since we rarely communicate. 

So for this question has nothing to do with that?

4 minutes ago, Dashinka said:

I would not list your fiancé here as they have no immediate familiar relationship to you as of yet.  This will come later on the I864 during AOS.

Thanks for replying.  That makes sense to me. But does this question pertain to an ex spouse here who I did a 864 for years ago? under the circumstances I listed

I am USC Petitioner for k1 Fiancee -     NO2 approval - Trying to finish up I-134. 

My history is I have done DCF Direct Consular Filing 5 years ago for ex-spouse, now divorrced. So yes I included that info on Part 3 22a AND Part 3 26a with "Relationship to me" as "Divorced"

1. I found conflicting information on what to put for Part 3, Page 3, 10a to 13 DEPENDENTS:  I seen so much disinformation on this 

A. I put N/A Because I have no kids, live alone, been divorced for years, No Ali.  I don't claim anybody on my taxes.

B. I seen others put the current future  fiancee beneficiary here.  !!!  "

I have not supported "wholly" or "Partially" anybody in recent years.  So which is it for this specific question?   I already know past  864 facts yadda yadda 10 years , just want to know if this something this question pertains to? 

2. My Number 2 Question is :   page 2, under Beneficiary's children:

The mixed information I get is 

1. Leave Blank as my fiancee child will be staying with her relative for a year or so.   <<<<<<< Note that I did list the child on i-129f.   

2.  List all the Children here no matter what at 12a.  Even if will not travel or part of k2

3. List the children ONLY if they will travel with my fiance (k2 etc)

My Number 3 question.

for Part 1, page 2 , number 12: I think to leave blank with 11a to 11c. ??   Why I ask? because just watched a youtube video of USC who skipped all the questions except for number 12 putting age and date. Then I found other info saying leave it blank for the:

I am ..... years of age and have resided in the USA since DATE.  

thank you

Thanks guys, Just recently got Noa2 - You all been a great help

Good to know, because I was lecturing my spouse (opps Fiance)  like...  "NEED AKA letters, they don't know what they are talking about".   They told her since she never been married don't need AKA. So its called multi purpose NBI .  Is is recommended still that its sent to embassy or carry in yourself?

Thanks!!  

Cheers guys,

So aside from question 4,  Does this mean they checked over the rest of the i-129f?     Would I get a list of issues if more things had to be corrected?

Hey ya'll, I Got a RFE - I followed  advice from somebody who said 'do not check off the 4a' (or I read the advise out of context). I did this since I already wrote YES on I-129f  2.c  saying I been arrested 3 times in early life and I gave all the information I could.  Note these are the only issues I have to report for criminal history.

4a. blank - meaning not answering yes or no.   I think I left blank

That said, How do I answer 4a. ??? As in the instructions for i-129f states : 

"Item Number 4.a. Criminal Information. Indicate whether you have ever been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, convicted, fined, or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance in any country, for any offenses other than those you have already outlined in the previous section. Unless a traffic incident was alcohol- or drug-related or involved a fine of $500 or more, you do not need to provide information on it."

Since my arrests were outlined in the previous section on the form do I answer Yes or No to the RFE:    I am thinking about putting NO and then writing a statement why I said no which is because in 2c they have my additional supporting documents. 

Aside from all this, is it safe to say this is good news because the rest of the application is fine? Did they already do a background check at this point? so my 2c responses and evidence are sufficient ?

:)) thanks.  (arrests were 2 dwi in the 90's and possession dismissed with arrest expunged but still disclosed it all)

I cant cut and paste from the pdf I am looking at of the 129f so I am going to paraphrase a bit-

 

Part3-2c- says 3 or more arrests or convictions (not from a single act) You seem to be saying you have 2 DWI (convictions?) and one drug arrest (no conviction) so that is 3. You would check yes and need to provide ALL the documentation you can whether thats court/police paperwork or statements saying there is no record for them to send you.  Then for 4A the instructions state to only list there things that you HAVENT already listed out if any. So you would not need to check 4a.  

 

UPDATE.  I Got a RFE - I followed the above advice BUT I think I might have left 4a. blank - meaning not answering yes or no.   Now I did answer 2c YES and in Additional information gave all the information for the 3 Arrests.

That said, How do I answer 4a. ??? As in the instructions for i-129f states : 

"Item Number 4.a. Criminal Information. Indicate whether you have ever been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, convicted, fined, or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance in any country, for any offenses other than those you have already outlined in the previous section. Unless a traffic incident was alcohol- or drug-related or involved a fine of $500 or more, you do not need to provide information on it."

Since was outlined in the previous section do I answer Yes or No to the RFE:

thanks !   So on 22a and 26a, I will put my ex spouse with relationship to me as: spouse.. or ex spouse ?

and also put my current fiance right after my ex spouse  on 30a

With this information, does this raise my income requirements?   My ex is currently working and fully supporting herself for years now

Both you and your father are responsible, potentially for the rest of her life.  You need to do your research.  

 

Spousal Visas don't AOS

 

1. Thank you for clearing that up, ok rest of her life. How does this affect the i-134?

2. Spousal Visa don't AOS :  You were quoting me with this answer for 22a. ? Can you elaborate what you mean for that on 22a please?

You are unless she naturalised.

But its my father who signed that contract as 'the only joint sponsor' ?  This is DCF, I am in living in Europe at this point and he is signing to take care of her in his house in the USA. Help me understand

So I"m bumping this back up as I am waiting for NOA2 any day now for K1 Visa Fiance. I am working on i-134 and I am fully sponsoring her.    Very Confused.

My history is: Born in USA and citizen. I lived in Europe as dual resident for 10 years. I am back in USA for 4 years. Before moving back I did DCF DIRECT CONSULATE FILING for my spouse to come with me to USA (remember we both are living abroad). on the forms I did not have employment and did not file any taxes for the last 3 years as I didn't make enough.  My father did the I-864 checking off "I am the only joint sponsor" and Yes to "I am sponsoring the principal immigrant named in part 2.   Then his wife did the I-864a

This was for my Ex as we are now divorced for few years.  Since I did not have work, income, taxes back then, I don't remember that I did or didn't put forward I-864? 

So my questions are: for I-134

1. Based on the above info, am I financially responsible for my ex wife if still living in USA in case she needs, or is my father since they went off his financials /income?

2. for the I-134 for my now fiance, what do I put on Part 3 22a ?? Did I previously submit AOS ? and put my Ex Wife here? Even when my father was her full Joint sponsor ?

3. for the part 3 section: "I have submitted a visa petition(s) to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of the following persons:"  Do I put my ex wife here? and then also my new Fiance?   and if yes... how would I then answer number 38?

thank you for any help 

Hello!

So when I answered this question, I answered honestly

I-129F question 43 - Have you ever filed form i129f for any other beneficiary?  I answered NO. I answered no because I never before did fill out form I-129f and its my first time doing k1 fiancee. Is this correct if I did some years ago DCF process at the foreign country US embassy for a spousal visa which included a I-130 ?   

Also When I have to do I-134 later for k1 interview asks:

22a.  I have previously submitted affidavit(s) of support for the following person(s) :   If I am answering honestly the answer is none ?  Because when I did DCF years ago it was my family member who submitted and signed the I-864  and I am nowhere on that AOS.  Correct?

Again on the I-134 question 26a.

I have submitted a visa petition(s) toU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of the following persons. (if none write none) -  Again if answering honestly, I would write none because the DCF process I did years ago for my spouse was done at the consulate / embassy which this process does NOT submit that visa petition to USCIS. 

Is this correct?  Kindly thanks!

If I understand correctly,  its the beneficiary who wrote saying financial hardship?  and if they approved the expedite, is it possible red flag that the interviewer would scrutinize more at the petitioners finances ?  Or not?

You said 3k in taxes.  Sounds like 8k to me because that’s my marginal rate. (Around 40 pct)  I had to go reread the comment. 

But at your income might be way more as you noted because of the lower tax bracket.   (15 pct)

Hey again, I said " 3k more in taxes than I thought I would"

Which means if I was already prepared to pay 6k in owed taxes, now its 9k  = 3k I wasn't prepared for

Something like that

Okay fine. Leave it as is and write a note for the CO/IO to read outlining why the income on the  tax return is understated...... what more can you do?

Hey Henry, I believe I already stated several times I'm not 'leaving it as is' and never said anything about "8k expenses", quite the contrary. This means I don't need any notes to "write to the c/o".  And I don't need cake as well.  Thanks for your help
