Hello,

As long as you meet the income standards, I don't believe that you have to list any bank account information. I did not and it was not requested. I think that you only use bank account and investment information if you need it in order to meet the minimum income standard. Hope that helps.

Yes, this helps thanks alot. Should I assume that the $22,887 is the amount of annual income I need to exceed? How much above the $22,887 should my annual income be

I agree. I believe as long as you make 1 penny over, if not even the exact requirement you are good to go. I don't think you need to have anything in your bank. Again, I think bank statements come in if you make less than the requirement. Good luck!

Hello, I am assuming that your household of 3 includes you, a current occupant of your home, and your beneficiary. If that is correct then you have to make at least 22,887.00. As long as you make at least that amount then you are fine is my understanding.

Yep. That is what that means. LOL. By the way JP. Do you know of anyone on here besides "SOooo Confused" whose spouse admitted to marijuana use and was still given the opportunity to migrate?

I know of 2 people who admitted to it in their medical and were banned for 3 years... One of them got through last year after waiting out the 3 year ban and re-filing for a CR1. The other one is currently at NVC stage in their CR1 (I think) and I have every confidence they will get through as well....

The 3 year ban has now been reduced to a 1 year ban from what I understand.

One year ban from the last admitted date of use? So, like Sooo Confused, her spouse admitted last use 12/09 and they said he is ineligible until 12/1/10. And is this for just admitting and testing negative. Were those bans because they tested negative? Thanks

No positive test - admitted to past use, "trying it" in the past and it was a 2 year ban for each of them. Both were originally K1 - they married during the 2 year ban and filed CR1

I am curious as to what the result will be with Sooo confused - this is the first we have seen under the new rule.

Yes, I am equally curious. It seems like the new rule is a little less (well a LOT LESS) stringent. I wonder if it makes a difference that they were K1 applicants and not CR-1 applicants. In any case though, it appears that it is a one year ban from last use. I hope that they apply this equally. I know that there were some comments about others receiving bans but it appears that the situations were much different and then there is this new rule.

[sus 70]

The only difference in the situation were they were K1 v. CR1 - They both admitted to using in the past and were given a two year ban and that they would have to reapply - they chose to marry and reapply that way instead of filing another K1 - At the same time frame they went through this, there was a member from Mexico whose fiance admitted not only to using this but other substances - and he was approved, no issues!

But this law is interesting, I will be curious to see what the result is -
