125% poverty for 2 people is $17500. My 07 return is showing loss from business as well as income from capital distribution of current partnership business to come out to adjusted gross income of $20,000. So I am over the 125% by 2500.

I have about 100,000 in a current cd but it is jointly owned by my mother and i. Could i show that with out having her as sponsor. also could i just open a new cd this month for a interview most likely in end of july, august and sept. As cds are always short term.

Could i use my parents as joint sponsor even though they have no income but have lots of assets.

Oh I thought your AGI was only 6500. Generally the AGI is less than the total income, I can't figure out how adjustments made your AGI higher than total income, but if it is so, then so be it. No, you don't need to do anything else then, you are OK, but I am still puzzled by the tax form outcome. Good Luck

the $6500 is total income for 2006 and 2006 AGI is 5800.

Total income in 2007 is $20,000 and so is the agi. AGI and total income is same as i was taxed on capital gains received.

Since your 07 tax return is less than the 125% line you do need to to show the assets - provide proof of the assets e.g. bank statement. Generally speaking you need to show 3 times the amount that you are short. If you can show proof of the cd that you mention (bank statement) - I believe you are OK. Good Luck

My concern is that i am self employed. In 05 i did not file taxes as i did not meet irs income filing requirement and also i was claimed as dependent. End of 05 i started 2 businesses. 06 tax return show all combined income on line 22 as $6500. 07 i am showing income including a capital distribution income from my current partnership businees of about $20,000.

Will the 05 and 06 hurt me in any way. 07 seems to be over the the poverty line for 2.

I was going to include my assets, just in case.

I have a bank account i opened jointly with my mother over a year ago. I have over $50,000 could i show that amount with out having my mother as a joint sponsor.

Also i have Certificate of deposit with the same bank and joint in both my and my mothers name of just a little over $100,000. Can i show that as my asset on my i134 with out my mother as joint sponsor.

As a Certificate of deposit is can be short as 3months, 6months, or even 8months. If i was to havethe $100,000 placed into a Cd in just my name this month, for an interview that is most probable in end of july, august or september. Would that be ok as i know they require 1 year worth of bank statements but a Certificate of deposit is a not a bank account.

also if i was to get a joint sponsor,in my parents. My parents are landlord and due depreciation they are showing losses on tax returns for 07 and 0 income on 06 and about $70,000 income in 05 dues gains on sale of investment. So income they cant show, but combined between my parents they have all property paid off. They own real estate in amount of $500,000 excluding the primary residence which would bring it to about $700,000. Also if i was to include the bank accounts me and my mother have jointly to the sponsor form that would be about $100,000 in cd and over $50,000 in bank.

What would be best option for me ?

thank you for u time.

Hi guys

I am looking to show bank assets and i just put some money in to a Certificate of deposit for a term of 8 months. I should have my interview between end of july and and september. I will receive monthly statements showing the start date of the cd as 19th may and maturity date as 18th Jan 09. Could i show my monthly statements as evidence of assets and will i be fine with the fact that this is CD is started recently and it will show date of maturity.

Also i have a joint bank account with my mother. It has a huge amount in there and we had our names in there since it was open. It has been more than 2 years. Can i show that bank account as my asset with out having my mother as joint sponsor. i am looking to show only my half of the balance, in form of getting a notarized letter from my mother that the money in the account is split 50-50 between the 2 names.

thanks

What should a guest list include. Just name and relationship would be enough or anything else

I am indian us citizen and my fiance is from india. I submitted engagement ceremony photos with i129f.

I am thinking should i take engagement ceremony photos to interview.

We also went on a trip to pune and we have 25 photos of just us two.

The engagement ceremony was in my uncles farmhouse, with about 40 guests who were just relatives.

What should i submit to show the engagement is just an engagement.

we had no priest there. it was just family and us wearing garlands around our neck

Also if i am making a guest list to submit. It is a requirement and what should we list on there. Would just name of guest and relation to us be enough.

Is 40 guest considered a red flag?

Should we submit engagement photos. As in the petition we did put down that we got engaged.

How many photos with one another would be reasonable to take to interview?

I submitted some of the engagement photos for the i129f application because the attorney said so.

Do we have to take the exact photos we submitted to the uscis in america to the consulate interview or can they be different photos from the same visit.

The engagement was with out a priest and was only about 30 family members at in my uncles living room. There was not decorations in the room. Only we wore simple clothing and may be flowers around our necks.

also there was no seating arrangements. All people were just sitting around us with no sort of arrangement.

I have about 25 to 30 photos of ourselves. 1 photo of my fiance and sister together. i have photos my self and fiance with my mother and her mother and father but that is at the engagement.

I have currently 25 photos of me and my fiance on trip together. We have total of the trip about 40 but only 25 out of them are with us together.

And 30 photos of me and my fiance together on our engagement.

So photos with the both of us in it is 25 for the trip and 30 for the engagement.

Is 55 photos enough for the interview stage or do we need more.

interview will be at mumbai.
