On the letter received from the Embassy it states we have 4 months from date on the bottom of the letter... is that four months to send the forms back or four months to complete interview?

Thanks

Lets clear a few things up.

You entered the US on the VWP which authorize you to stay in the US for up to 90 days. It is illegal for you to overstay. Once you overstayed, you begin to accrue days of "unlawful presence." Because you did not accrue more than 180 days of unlawful presence, you are not subject to a ban when you left. So you overstayed illegally, but you are not subject to a ban. (It hard for me to see how someone can accumulate days of "unlawful presence" without being here illegally.)

Your VWP period ended on Nov. 23, 2010, and you left on May 20, 2010. This means your first day of unlawful presence was Nov. 24, 2010. This means you accumulated 178 days of unlawful presence. 178 days of unlawful presence equal no ban. Another couple of days in the US would have resulted in a 3 years ban.

Your overstay will probably raise a few eyebrows, but it doesn't make you inadmissible. A ban would make you inadmissible. You shouldn't have any real problems with your overstay.

Thanks, are they likely to question it? Can they turn it down based on that?

1. Never leave anything blank, put 'to be determined' if you want

2. Put the date you are currently filling the form

3. I'd put student

How long did you overstay?

Good luck

it was 25th August 2010 till 20th May 2011

you can stay 180 days illegally without getting bans ... my VWP ran out 23rd Nov.

i overstayed a couple of months but left before i was illegal

have a few questions regarding the DS-230 form..

1 - Do you have to give an answer the question.. "What occupation do you intend to work in the United States?" ??

2 - When listing schools i cant put "present" so what date do I put? this month or the month I intend on finishing?

3 - present occupation... is unemployed or student?

Also if I overstayed but not illegally is that ok do they not mind for this kind of visa?..

I overstayed the VWP but left before becoming illegal.... Worried

Thanks

Ok so im almost ready to send the forms back to the embassy but the forms DS-156 states that i need to attache my birth certificate but the letter that i received from the embassy said NOT to send any documents.. What do I do and if i do send it is it a copy?

When filling in the affidavit of support is it true that on question 11 (i intend, do not intend to pay... ) is this left blank and in the space provided write N/A k1 visa process applicant ? if not what is put?.. both my fiance and his dad wll be doing the I-134 as my fiance is a student.. thanks

Your fiance doesn't put anything for that, its left blank and in the space provided he writes K-1 visa applicant.

ok thanks. So his dad does the same?

My fiance is filling in the affidavit of support form but his dad is going to be a co sponsor but 100%.. my fiance is in school so doesnt earn anything, apart from school financial aid.

on question 11 " I intend _ do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person named in item 3"

What does he put for this?

His dad will be providing a affidavit of support also.

Also there is a space to type on the oath, before " I certify under penalty" what is supposed to go there? I would have thought a name but doesnt seem to fit in the sentence.

Thank you in advance for any help

The ex-wife probably counts. Does he claim the gf & kids on his tax forms as dependents? I think you have to be married for that.

Check what the current numbers are for 125% poverty. If he has a decent salary you probably have nothing to worry about: that 125% number is really low. They really mean "poverty". Family of 4 in 2012: 125% of poverty is $27,938. I would hope that ONE person working full time is getting at least that much!

Somehow a family of 7 is supposed to be able to live off of $42,263! Well, in just-over-poverty at least...

Website: http://www.liheap.ncat.org/profiles/povertytables/FY2012/popstate.htm seems to be the right thing and is where I grabbed that from

thank you

The answers you have gotten would be true for an I-864 Affidavit of Support. But for the I-134 London, the beneficiary just needs 'a sponsor' to convince the officer "that he or she is not likely at any time to become a public charge." There is no law/rule that says an I-134 from the unemployed fiance would be of any use if there is somebody else doing the sponsor duties. The beneficiary can even self-sponsor in London with no I-134 at all, by showing they have funds of their own.

ok great.. my fiance father is sponsoring, his earnings are quite high however im worried , cause his mam and dad are divorced and california making the ex husband pay the ex wife, does this come in to play when they asses his income? he lives with his girlfriend and her adult kids.. do they count as dependents? his sons are all over 18 and only 1 still lives with their mam.. im confused with all of this.. any advice? thanks you so much for your help

If you don't mess around and let your NOA2 expire (4 months) before you start sending things to London, they don't ask for one. It's not in their list of things to bring for the interview.

You will get a letter from London soon saying they have your file and instructions (on the web) to submit the DS forms, etc. Okay, so say you don't do that until June/July. Then you might need something from your fiance to let them know he is still interested and didn't abandon plans because so much time passed without a response from you. Otherwise you won't need one.

But if you want a letter, it will be just like the first one basically. You, the beneficiary, don't need one. If you read the oath at the end of the DS-156K, you'll see that you will sign and swear in front of the officer that you are free to marry and intend to marry within 90 days. A letter from you stating the same thing would be redundant. The officer will sign that he witnessed you signing.

Here's a good thread in the UK forum for you to post your London questions http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/

ok great thanks

If you need more informations about the Affidavit of support, this is a good link: http://www.visajourney.com/content/support The 8th point would have answered your question.

thanks

Yes, and it's the same one, but more recently dated.

ok thanks.. so no need to change it

The letter of intent needed for the K1 part of visa process... Is this just from the US citizen? and how different is it from the original?

Thanks in advance

Yes he does, otherwise they won't know that he indeed needs the sponsor.

ok thanks.

okay so my US fiance's father is providing the affidavit of support as my fiance is a student. Does my fiance still need to fill in the form even though he doesnt have a job or pay stubs? His father will be a full sponsor.

Thanks in advance.

Once your NOA2 has been processed at the USCIS level, the NVC and DOS are the only way to really find out when/where your case was accepted until you (maybe) get a letter from the NVC or Packet 3 arrives.

For the NVC:

K1's are not tracked through the AVR, EVER. They are processed like an immigrant visa, but they are NOT immigrant visas, so they fall into a completely different class of their own. Therefore you need an operator. To get there:

603-334-0700

Press 1 for English

Press 5 for an operator

NVC will give you your LND case number which you will quote when you speak to DOS

For DOS:

This is where you will be able to find out if your case was received at the Embassy/Consulate. They will not see your case in their system until the NVC has logged it in and applied a case number to it.

202-663-1225

Press 1 for the Main Menu

Press 0 for an Operator

Sometimes you won't get through straight away, and when you do it can take up to, but not usually longer than, 15 minutes to get to talk to an operator. Once DOS have it in their system you will be able to call them periodically to see what stage ypu are at. Through Skype it is much much cheaper than calling the US embassy in London for updates.

Hope that helps

Thanks very much!!

Congratulations!!!!,But,when did you filed?

July 29th

You listed the wrong service center on your timeline, might wanna fix that.

What service center is processing it?

Its California and iv listed California

California Service Center sucks, their too slow , just keep waiting and hopefully you will get your NOA 2 soon, have you contacted them yet?

No not sure how too and what to do.

worried about what?? lol

Its 5 months waitin time for NOA2 right? I see you send yours a month after us and received everything

:/

You got the NOA1 you shouldn't worry, just have to wait out the processing time. Had you not gotten an NOA1 or anything then you should worry.

Yea we have received NOA1 but most timelines I have come accross havnt taken this long.
