ATPEACE

what makes your situation unique is that his childsupport issues are here in th US, not on his home country. Therefore all US laws regarding chilsupport issues will be applied/held against him.

Thanks for all the advice so far. I will definately be consulting a lawyer. and in reply to AtPeace, the only job my husband has been able to find in Mexico in the past 6 months only pays him 50.00 USD per week. I am supporting him mostly. I think the children would be much better off if he had a US job that paid more.

Please don't take my statement as judgement, I am only stating what the US government would reply back to you. If the world w as perfect, then all things would be seemed the way we look at things, but we must deal with reality. I have seen more than one father get deported.

So wait, did you wait until you got the interview date? Is this time consuming or anything in the fact that he has to wait a certain period to get each shot after another...?

As an adult there is only 4 shots he would need to get if he cannot show proof. Also, his school records should have proof of any childhood immunizations. As a male getting all of the immunzations at one time is no big issue health wise, only money wise.

un-paid child support will affect him in a negative sense, will be considered not good moral. The US doesn't feel he will need to be in the US to pay child-support. All currencies can covert to US dollars. The un-paid child support will be a major issue along with the rest of his problems. Sorry and good luck. If there is a judgement on him for child support it will show up in immigration.

WHOA Kathryn41, then you need to go back to the post I quoted and clean it up too. If you read any of my posts I told the OP if orginals are needed it would be indicated in their interview letter. I have stated repeately that if the orginal is needed it will be indicated in pkg 3 or 4 letter.

Now if its okay to make the statement that the TLP poster made that I quoted then maybe the TOS needs to be re-evaluated. All I stated to the OP was that that tone was not necessary to carry-on a conversation with me.

Ok, I'll bite. Why would you say that? It's wrong, of course but why would you say that?

B/C no one lives on their gross income you live on your net and I will send to you privately the FAM BR.

@pushbrk>>>>>thanks for correcting that.Such a relief when i read your reply.Got worried for a moment if CO will evaluate affidavit of support as how ATPEACE looked at it..

Pushbrk, if they evaluate the 134 base on the same guidelines for the 864, then they are looking at net.

for example the petitioner's birth certificate?why thats needed in both first and fourth package

Only a copy....in the fourth package. Stop trying to re-invent the process, many have gone thru this process with only a copy if needed AT THE EMBASSY.

P.S. if an orgial is needed at the interview they will let you know before the interview.

BTW: for your piece of mind, i have been on this board sine 2007 under another handle and I went thru this entire process without a hiccup. Why because I followed the rules to the "T".

The CO is looking at it this way, since 40% of your gross income goes towards taxes, you only have 60% to live on. That 60% makes up your net inocme, so if he made $32,000, and $13,000 went towards taxes, his family of 4 only have $19,000 to live. Can the family of 4 survive on $19,000.

We use rebtel too! I was worried about that because it doesnt give numbers, just whatever you put in when you set it up. I was thinking that i'd send my cell phone bill too but it calls local numbers to connect; I don't even really know how remote calling works let alone explaining it to immigration.

Did you list his name next to the local number on rebtel, if you list a nickname, update it to his legal name. You can print out the detail page that shows his international number attached to his local number.

somethings are needed as originals for the interview,try checking your consulate's website,cause they usually have an online version of the packet 3,just in case for people in your situation.

The only documents they will need an original of is the last documents that they would be sending to the petitioner.

Thanks Atpeace,

Internet is up and running! The internet cafe's usually have generators b.c state electricity is only up for about 4 hrs a day. But there's no mail, hasn't been for years. Good call about the SS#s.

Thank you!

Scan any doc's he may not have and send them via e-mail attachment. Give NVC your email address to send everything to, and then you forward it to him. I used rebtel for phone calls, and that was easy for us. You will need to show phone communication, so he will need copies of this information as well. He should have the last 3 months up to the interview date.

Hi Atpeace,

I did make copies of everything. I want to hang on to originals in case i get an RFE from USCIS. But the consulate info says they always want the originals. I'm wondering if its okay if they get copies at the consulate. By the time my NOA2 comes through there will be no way to get the originals to future hubby.

He will not need orginals, so copies will be okay. If you don't want your SS number visible to everyone, on the copies black themout. Is Mail not going in and out of Haitia, I am in contact with a friend of mines via the internet, so I know the internet cafes are working.

Question: Does all the info that the petitioner sends back to NVC end up at the interview? I ask because it is impossible for me to get documents to and from my fiance.

For instance, If I submit the tax information in what I send to the NVC does he have to also bring a copy of this to the interview? (I could email him copies of everything, but they either won't be signed or they will be scanned non-originals)

Also of concern, the original evidence of our relationship which I have in my possession. Does he need to get this or will what I submitted with the I-129f be attached to the whole dossier that gets sent to the consulate?

I'm not near the NVC phase but I'm going to be seeing him next week and I want to make sure that we both have everything we need because after that the next time will be when he gets here (hopefully!).

In going thru this process you should have made 3 copies of everything you have sent to USCIS and NVC, one copy for you, one copy for your finance and a copy for file. You can not predict what may have gotten loss in transferring the case from one agency to another. Think of this process as a business transaction.

Unlike the I-864, a consular officer has wide discretion with an I-134 affidavit of support. They aren't required to consider the assets you claim to have, though many do. They also aren't required to consider any evidence you have of current income (pay stubs, letter of employment, etc.), though many do. They aren't even required to accept your affidavit of support as sufficient, even if it appears that you meet the income/assets threshold. I've seen numerous cases where a consular officer looked ONLY at the total income from last year's tax return and said "Get a joint sponsor", and completely ignored other evidence of income and assets. Some consulates rarely accept a joint sponsor for a K visa, and simply deny the visa on the public charge grounds.

Depending on how the consular officer chooses to look at your affidavit of support, you either don't qualify or you barely qualify. In my opinion (which is no more or less valid than anyone elses) you are taking a risk of denial if you don't have a joint sponsor lined up and ready.

The problem is that you will be absolutely required to have a sponsor who can submit a sufficient affidavit of support when your fiance applies for a green card. There is much less discretion involved with the I-864. You either meet the requirements or you don't. If your husband doesn't have a qualified sponsor with sufficient income/assets then he won't get a green card - end of story. The consulate won't issue a visa if they aren't confident that the applicant will be able to adjust status after they arrive in the US.

Jim, it probably would serve the VJ community if there was a whole forum on explaining the qualifications of needing a co-sponor vs not needing one. Myself finds it harding the number of people who needs co-sponor for just 2 people. But, that is not my place to judge, this is one of the things they should be considering before filing for a K1 or CR1. Not to find themselves in this postion at the time of interview.

You'll keep referring to the wrong number, it doesn't matter that he may have made $32,000, after all of his deductions what is the actual number on line 22 of the 1040 or 1040Az. THAT IS THE MAGIC NUMBER. STOP LOOKING AT THE W2 NUMBER.

Simple, base on what you have written, apply for a job opening thru the company HR dept. Now if you wish to give more details as to why he can not do this simple task then the VJ community maybe able to give more solutions. I am not being un-helpful, only repying to what you have written.

5 NOT 4

You will be subject to the 5 year rule.

The problem will arise when the OP entered the second time on a visitor visa, she gave the impression that she was visiting. If she was already enrolled in school then she should have had a student visa. Which its seems has if she didn't, so in the eyes of immigration she entered giving fraudulent information.

There are still too many missing variables to this story, but the link that Kirk has posted in his post will give the OP and his family the issues they will be up against.

Good luck in moving forward.

Did you read the whole thread? OP is talking about his wife as compared to people who are here illegally (regardless of how, he didn't say overstayed vs. EWI). His wife is NOT an overstay and has been using her B2 legally the past couple of years, so I'm really not sure what the point of your post was.

This is for ceadsearc

Maybe you need to read the entire post and the previuous post to get the point. I am sick of ppl who wants to tell me that they don't see the point of a post. Then you don't understand immigration, nor history. WHY must it always be the us vs them mentality that some people has. How do you or anyone on this board know if someone is illegal, unless they themselves tell you. I don't see anyone here in Maryland driving around with signs up that says I am illegal.

Its first three words – “We The People” – affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens.

You are still wrong, the Constitution protects all people who resides on America soil. The law doesn't separate legal VS ILLEGAL.

"We the People" Not, "We the Citizens"

Educate yourselves, friends.

Cheers.

He is correct is says We the People.
