    I will be applying for K-1 visa shortly, but I applied successfully for ESTA last week.
  2. Lee Thacket
    I am going to reschedule my medical to a later date.
  3. Lee Thacket
    Yes, I do. It is one of many deadlines on my mind all the time!
  4. Lee Thacket
    The sale would be three or four months after the K-1 visa. I will see if I can get the joint sponsor sorted out for I-134.

    Thanks for your interest in my problem. That was my thoughts as well. The beneficiary of a trust has no control over its assets.

    Thanks for taking the trouble to reply. No, there is no regular income from the trust. How it is distributed is at the sole discretion of the two trustees. The family member who set up the trust believed, incorrectly in our opinion, that receipt of an inheritance would make my fiancée ineligible for SSDI.

    Thanks for replying so quickly. I am wondering how I could self-sponsor. Would a valuation from an estate agent (realtor) be sufficient? I have an email giving me a valuation. I could also get details of the outstanding mortgage and ownership deeds. My fiancée's SSDI income is around 100% of federal poverty guidelines. I need to get the precise figure. In terms of the I-864 I don't think self-sponsorship would work. As a household of two adults and one child we would need $32,275 x three = $96,825. A modest wedding, I-864 filing fees and a month of living expenses would take me below that figure. The person who agreed to be my financial co-sponsor is busy with family issues so I don't want to disturb her too much. She should be more available in the Summer or Fall when I arrive and need to file the I-864.

    My fiancée does not have a high income. She is on SSDI. However, she does have more than $100,000 in a family trust from an inheritance. Would this money count as an asset of hers for the purposes of the I-134 Affidavit of Support for K-1 visa? I am guessing not as the funds are not under her control. The trustees of this trust are two close family members. Could this trust be a financial co-sponsor or do co-sponsors have be natural persons? Second question, has anyone sponsored himself/herself on the I-134 at the London Embassy? When my house is sold I will have about $100,000 in cash after the outstanding mortgage balance is paid. (I am also trying to find a financial co-sponsor.)

    I have a medical booked for next week. The information from Visa Medicals was a little vague about what they wanted, it just said summary of medical records. My GP sent me some digital print outs. One had the heading "Significant Medical History" and the other was "Encounter Report." Visa Medicals have their own form for you to fill out and discuss. If they need any further clarification they can ask you to get it from your GP. Others on these forums have written about their experiences. I am not aware of anyone ever having a problem. I don't see why the embassy does not just send a standard form to your doctor and cut out the middle man. It would be really interesting to hear how you get on. All the best!

    How long ago did you this happen?
  13. Lee Thacket
    Not a good idea unless one of the partners is very wealthy!
  14. Lee Thacket
    It would be interesting to know what the attitude of the Colombian government and the Roman Catholic Church is to couples who do not bother to register religious marriages. Hopefully, they will take the advice you gave them earlier this week.

    I would be interested to know long it takes to get the ACRO certificate. I applied for mine eleven days ago. In terms of the house sale if it looks like being too much of a time crunch I will reduce the price! If anyone wants a cheap holiday home in south Wales please get in touch ...
  17. Lee Thacket
    Oh wow. That has made my day. I submitted my application eleven days ago. Hope everything goes well with your visa interview.
  18. Lee Thacket
    In terms of Roman Catholic theology and canon law you ARE married so I don't think. In the eyes of the church what you had was not merely a religious ceremony it WAS a marriage. If you claim not to be married on the DS-160 that would be wrong.
