  1. Like they know who I am? Plus if they cared about people like u and me and had time to come read about our issues they would not be so loose on their time frames. Screw them or atleast I would if given chance.

  2. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have announced a joint plan to eliminate the backlog of name checks pending with the FBI.

    The organizations have created a timeline for completion of pending name checks based on the age of the name check (please see table below). The oldest pending name checks will be resolved first. The FBI has said it has already eliminated all name check cases pending more than four years.

    The stated goal is to complete 98% of all name checks within 30 days. The remaining two percent, which represent the most difficult name checks and require additional time to complete, will be processed within 90 days or less. USCIS and the FBI intend to achieve and sustain these processing times by June 2009.

    In addition to focusing on the oldest pending name check cases first, USCIS has also requested that the FBI prioritize the resolution of approximately 29,800 pending name checks from naturalization applicants submitted to the FBI before May 2006 in cases where the naturalization applicant was already interviewed.

    Completion Goal Category

    May 2008 Process all name checks pending more than 3 years

    July 2008 Process all name checks pending more than 2 years

    November 2008 Process all name checks pending more than one year

    February 2009 Process all name checks pending more than 180 days

    June 2009 Process 98 percent of all name checks within 30 days

    and process the remaining two percent within 90 days

    This is good news for applicants who have been waiting on FBI name checks for months, even years, to be processed. If you're currently waiting on an FBI name check, take note of the processing times.

    I am sorry sister. Hope your name check don't take long!!

  3. Affidavit of Support

    K-1 Visa requirements and K-3 Visa requirements are essentially, Immigration officials want to ensure that the immigrant spouse or fiancé will not become a public charge (welfare recipient) once he or she enters the United States

    When bringing a spouse or fiancé from Thailand to live permanently in the U.S, a petitioner must accept legal responsibility for financially supporting the spouse or fiancé. The petitioner accepts this responsibility and becomes a K-1 or K-3 sponsor by completing and signing a document called an Affidavit of Support.

    K-1 Visa Requirements / K-3 Visa Requirements:

    Income Requirement

    Part of the K-1 Visa requirements and the K-3 Visa requirements is to ensure that the petitioner is able to meet the income eligibility requirement in the Affidavit of Support he or she must show that his/her income is 125% of the poverty line. The chart below shows the current poverty guidelines for 2007 along with the calculation necessary to determine if a petitioner’s income meets the 125% requirement. (Note: Active Duty military personnel need only show an income that meets the poverty guidelines level).

    K-3 Visa & K-1 Visa Requirements

    Petitioner for a K-1 Visa who does not meet the K-1 Visa Income Requirement

    K-1 visa requirements and K-3 visa requirements does not have a hard and fast formula for qualifying a person as a sponsor. The most weight will be placed on income from current employment and the total unadjusted income shown on the three most recent tax returns. In most cases, a sponsor who is employed and can demonstrate the ability to earn income at or above 125% of the poverty line for the number of persons who will be supported will be found eligible. Immigration will look at the “whole picture” with regard to financial status if a petitioner does not have sufficient income to meet the K-1 visa requirements. USCIS will look at assets such as stocks, bonds, bank account balances, real estate, and any businesses owned by the petitioner.

    Assets such as these are only counted at 1/5th of their current market value after subtraction of any debt, mortgages or liens.

    Calculating Assets and Income for Thai K-1 Visa Requirements or K-3 Visa Requirements

    Let’s say a petitioner is single and makes $11,500 per year. He owns a home worth $100,000 with an outstanding mortgage in the amount of $50,000. He also has a bank balance of $5,000. The USCIS will likely compute this situation as follows for the K-3 Visa and K-1 Visa requirement:

    . $100,000-$50,000=$50,000/5=$10,000

    . $5,000/5=$1,000

    . $3,000+1,000=$11,000

    We now take this $11,000 and add it to petitioner’s yearly income of $11,500. $11,500+$11,000= $22,500

    It is clear that this amount ($22,500) exceeds 125% of the 2007 poverty guidelines ($17,112.50) even though petitioner’s yearly income does not meet the necessary standard for supporting two people at 125% of the poverty guidelines.

  4. What is Advance Parole?

    Advance Parole is the right of an alien to re-enter the United States after traveling abroad. They must be approved for Advance Parole before leaving the United States. If they did not obtain Advance Parole prior to leaving the United States, then they will not be allowed to re-enter the country until they re-apply for a new visa.

  5. K-1 VISA INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

    It does become rather apparent that the US Embassy is tasked with establishing if you are in a bona fide relationship. Your fiancee should be able to answer some of the most basic questions during the K-1 Visa Interview at the embassy about you and your relatioship. At Siam-Legal we accompany your Thai fiancee to the US Embassy and ask her various questions beforehand so that she does not feel alone and alienated and to ensure that she understands the questions being asked and the reasons why they are asked
