I, along with my parents will provide room and board for my fiance when he arrives in the USA.  Therefore I answered question # 38 checking I intend and then explained in Section 7 about the room and board.  Was I correct or it has to be left blank. It is confusing since in the Sponsor certification, it states almost he same thing.  Please explain.

What is CFO? I have a problem with abbreviations. I imagine MNL is the NVC number followed by 10 digits. What is P3?

Thanks,

No.

Send her a copy of the NVC letter (scan and email it), my partner just got asked for a copy of that at his medical.

But you can set up the interview also just using that case number. The embassy will not send anything to you or the beneficiary.

Just make sure once interview is set to Fedex/DHL her an original copy of the I-134 with "wet" signature and supply her also all your financial documents(W2's, pay stubs, employment letter, ect..) for her to take to the interview with her.

Also print out all appointment confirmations/bookings and take them with her to the medical and interview. Also pay BPI and get the receipt for the payment for the interview/visa.

Make sure there is 1-2 weeks between medical and interview to allow time for medical to be completed and results transfered to embassy.

Also can go a head and complete CFO at any time. If she does it before the interview, she needs to go back after she receives her passport with visa back and get the certificate/stamp from them for immigrations.

good luck!

What's CFO/  I have a problem with abbreviations.  While you are at it, what is P3?

I just realized that my stepdaughter has been employed on a full time basis since last August, 2018. She has done some part-time work as a housekeeper and babysitter that she will report on this year return. I feel that now I am more inclined to submit Form I-134 as a co-sponsor. Should my wife also file as a  co-sponsor since we file a joint return?

Use the link in Hanks reply to you. Here I figure I'd just post it https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p 

Got it.

As advised, we have decided to submit Form I-134 as co-sponsor for my stepdaughter in her K-1 Visa application. Since my wife and I file jointly, do we have to submit 2 different forms I-134, or would my wife's I-134 will suffice? My income derives from Social Security retirement benefits.  My wife is a nurse employed at a Nursing Home and Center and has W-2 forms and salary stubs.  As I explained above, we file a joint return. My stepdaughter will also file form I-134 as principal sponsor.

Thanks,

Embassy in Manila used 125% the same as required for AOS (I-1485 for conditional green card) which is $20,575  if gross income is over that all is good.    https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p     

 

Embassy does accept co-sponsors on a case by case basis with the K-1.  They will want the co-sponsor to be a close family member - parents or siblings to even consider them.

 

Has she completed the I-129F petition process and are now ready to complete the actual visa application at USEM?

 

 

Her fiancé has yet to complete his actual visa application.  She just mailed her I-129F but we are planning ahead to avoid any possible problems. You state $20,575.00 as 125 % over the Poverty Guidelines.  I wonder where you got the figures, since I thought that  100% was $16,910.00 so 125 % would be $21,137.00.

Your just over the poverty guides at 125% so she should be good to go. They look at line 22 of the most current 1040 for that number. If she still is good and since she is so close, it would be prudent to send her the co-sponsor information in the event she needs it. Like others have said it's been number of years that they have asked for financials but again best be prepared.

Thanks for your comments,

I will be assisting my stepdaughter complete her K-1 Visa application for her fiancé.  I would like to know in details all information on the income requirements for her for the Manila Consulate.  She makes around $20,800.00 gross pay.  I believe the 100 %  2019 Federal Poverty guideline for 2 is $16,910.00.  According to what I have read already, she is way over the 100% requirements.  Am I correct, or does Manila requires 125% of the Fede3ral Poverty Guidelines?  Do they accept assets or co-sponsors? Please help with suggestions.

Thanks,

You have a couple of potential problems.   Historically,  Manila does not allow assets to make up any income shortfall,  nor have they been known to accept co sponsors 

payxibba,

Is the salary amount pre-tax or post-tax?  My  stepdaughter makes $10.00/hr for a 40 hr week. Therefore, her salary is actually $18,200.00, (pre-tax),well over the 2019  Federal Poverty Level of $16,910.00 for 2 persons. I would greatly appreciate your input. Please make suggestions.  She also babysits on a part-time basis but she has not declared this income in her taxes.  If need be, she can start reporting this as income as of January, 2019.

Payxibba,

Yes the interview will be in manila.

Yes, the interview will be in Manila.

I am getting ready to help my stepdaughter complete Form I-134 for her fiancé in the Philippines.  Her salary is just shy about $100 from the Federal Poverty Guideline of $16,910.00 for two persons.  She is getting a letter from her bank detailing her checking and savings account as well as a letter from her employer, and submitting her 2018 IRS return. I am planning to be a co-sponsor, just in case.  My question is if my wife, who is employed and files a joint return with me, should she also fill out the co-sponsorship since we file  jointly.  Should we both complete the co-sponsor I-134 form, or complete 2 separate I-134 forms as co-sponsors?

I finally found the most recent K1 Visa filing fee of $535.00.  I also note that when I review the instructions on online filing of form DS-160, it implies there is a fee.  I have difficulty finding the fee. There is a USCIS link that I believe mentions this fee of $265.00.  The link is : https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/fees/fees-visa-services.html  Please let me know if I am correct or not. The above info implies that the beneficiary has to bring the equivalent of $265.00 US dollars to the interview to pay for the visa, besides the file fee of $535.00 I would appreciate any help. Thanks,

bolin786

I learned that the new fee for a K-1 Visa is $265.00.  I also realized that the recipient has to file online form DS-160, after the NOA2 is received and the initial application is approved and forwarded to the embassy. I reviewed in detail the lengthy questionnaire he has to complete as well as the upload photo requirements.  It also state that a fee has to be submitted with the application at the time of the interview.  I cannot find the amount specified anywhere at this website or the official USCIS website.  It only specifies the $265.00 for the K-1 Visa application.  Please explain in details. thanks

I thank you much Dee elle.  That is exactly the way I read it as well as my search on the G325A form at vj website. 

I am an old member who initially filed for a K-1 Visa for my present wife and already a US Citizen since 2015.  My stepdaughter, a K-2 Visa recipient herself, became a US citizen last month and is currently filing for a K-1 Visa for her fiancé. When reviewing the timeline in the K-1 Visa guide, it states to submit form I-134 upon receipt of form NOA2, what to send to your fiance once the I-124F is approved.  I thought she had to send form I-134 along with her original application.  Please explain in detail.

I also realized that form G325A is no longer required once the I-124F was modified to incorporated the biographical info of both applicant and petitioner.  Please let me know if this statement is also correct.

Thanks and God Bless,

Might be a good idea to consult with a lawyer.  I was trying to save her monies but you might be right.

Get the extension.

What actually happened is that her "conditional permanent resident status", which is only valid for 2 years, expired.  You should have requested a Removal of Conditions (ROC), before the conditional expired.  If you look closely, at the her conditional GC, you see the expiration date. Go right away to your local USCIS office and try to convince her of the oversight.  If no nefarious intention is discovered, I am sure they will accommodate without deportation.

Chulitos,

I feel sorry for you since I agree he was probably playing you the whole time.  Insofar as annulment, that applies I believe in a religious setting if the marriage was not consumated. You need to file for divorce.  Now I would also relay my concern with USCIS and let them know that you believe he married you for the status and let them investigate and deport him.

You have different types of software that will barr or block unwanted calls. Sometimes your telephone carrier willl help block unwanted calls.  Best thing, do not answer unless you know the caller or number on the caller id.

It looks okay.  Personal affidavit of support do not carry a lot of weight on their own.  

Personally I would not mention the abortion.  Just state the facts, making sure that if you were the victim of spousal abuse to bring that issue up.  If not, make sure you can demonstrate that while it lasted, yours was a bona fide relationship and marriage.  You will be okay.

Agree with Sukie. However a joint bank account would have helped a lot.  That is one thing that we wanted to have along with joint IRS returns.  Only sent 6 months statements and had no problems.  Also sent 3 years of IRS transcripts.

Good luck Kobbar.  I think you will have no problems.  Just don't fight with the USCIS interviewer or punch him on the nose.
