I don't think I was being touchy. To each their own.

LOL... I know. Its just how everyone perceives things -on both sides- can be touchy. Que sera sera!

I am disabled 100% which means I cannot work and get a monthly check from Uncle Sam for being injured during my service. I am able to spend as much time as the Russian and American governments will let me with my woman.

The fact that you get to spend as much time with your lady as you want is a blessing. Although you were disabled in service (Thank you... btw) you now get to spend your life with the one you love. That's just too cute. . As for your question, I think you've received well rounded answers. As long as your visa is valid to visit Russia you're free to come and go as you please. Just remember to have that Power of Attorney keep a keen eye on the mail, as you never know when something will finally be sent out (i.e - NOA1 or NOA2). Otherwise, ENJOY your trip.

@babyjk... I understand your question. These forums can be touchy. Don't take it any way. I too wish I could spend more time with my honey. I haven't seen him since April and it seems like a lifetime! lol. Just remember all in due time.

Hey there all:

New to the site. Just checkin in. Bless up.

@ Nibake... Thank you vrey much.

@ Hadiza... The mere fact that you feel the need to say that shows quite the opposite. The thread went off on a tangent about my proposed lack of knowledge about how costly this process is, rather than a full faith answer to the questions that were asked.

Anywho... thanks to everyone for their responses (warrranted or not).

Clearly not my intention if you had accurately read the thread. Our stalemate is not permanent and is purely due to my inability to pay the fee today. I will do so at the end of the month. But as anyone who has sought a visa or even reserached the process knows... You must ALWAYS ecplore your options. It was a mere point of questioning. Are fee waivers available or not? Has anyone received one or not? End of questioning.

I'm not in any way trying to have my fiance supported by anyone besides me, and will not be needing a co-sponsor either. Anyone who has reviewed this process and clearly knows that the fees for filing do not stop when you pay the initial fee. Therefore, that question is unecessary and redundant.

Let's leave it at that.

I'm beginning to get confused about the same thing. I've been told that although they do use your 2009 tax return, they will aceept pay stubs and employment letters to prove your current income. Now I'm being told that it's based solely on your last years tax return and your current income is irrelevant. How can that be?

Thanks JimVaPhuong!

@ Sasha... Why do they then also require your pay stubs etc? The combination of two should be sufficient. Maybe? Anyways... by the time we file and get the interview I think I will have filed my new years tax returns. If not, I'll find a sponsor. But that is purely last resort.

Ciao.

Yes, Yes, and Yes! Don't go into freak out mode on me people! I'm not some ammatuer just coming into this game.

I know about all of the associated fees and as I said he has the money to pay for the exams and forms he has to get completed in Jamaica. I now (with new employment) reach the poverty guideline on income and dont think there will be any issue in the support affidavit. My question was solely based and related to the initial fee. I'm not saying I don't have any money or that I won't get the money to pay the fee in appropraite timing. I'm saying I have student loans to pay back and additional bills, so I wanted to know if this was an option due to previous unemployment and whatever other burdens I could display. I mean... can I get something back from the US Government for a change? Hello!!!!

Thanks all for your responses!

My fiance and I have reached a stalemate in filing our petition. Although he has the money to complete the items he has to do in Jamaica, we dont have enough to pay the initial petition fee. I've heard about fee waivers and read the ifnormation on USCIS. My question(s)... Is a fee waiver even possible for the I-129f Petition? Has anyone received one of these waivers to date? Thanks.

Hey all:

I've heard this a few times so I'm asking for clarification. I've heard that the G-325A is four pages. I'm not a computer genius or anything, but I've only seen the one page. Has anything changed or was it just 4pages back when?

Thanks

So... I'm sorry if this question is plain dumb. But, if you aren't wearing a ring for your interview (which I probably wont be)... how exactly are they verifying your engagement?
