Thanks Randy! I wasn't too sure abuot how the co-sponsoring should be. But, it would be safe to assume that since it is all jointly filed, and the deed, and everythign is in both their names, that only one person needs to sign it. But I will probably print two out, have them both sign one, and then have my sister sign another one. Just in case. Peace, Erik

Greetings, I have a co-sponsor for my fiance. She is my sister, and filed her 2007 tax returns with her husband. So, they are joint tax returns. Now, the question is, does my brother in law have to sign his own I-134 affidavt, or can he sign the one my sister signs? And or, does he have to sign one at all? I have all paperwork: sister and brother in laws birth certificates, joint bank account statements, deed to house, and my sister's boss' letters/statements for employment and salary. I need to know asap! Like today. My number is <snip>. If anyone can either text message me, or even call, then it would be a big help. This paper work has to be sent out ASAP. Thanks, Erik (personal phone number removed)

The P3 was sent the same day we received it. It has been about 2 weeks, and still no interview date. The DOS said it was not picked up yet. Keeping fingers crossed for an early interview date... Also, I heard that some people weren't even getting interview dates. That they would receive a letter saying they were not approved for a visa. It was supposedly some new manner of deciding who gets a visa. The visa people at the consulate would just look at the P3 and then decide whether or not the visa applicant gets approved without even seeing the affidavit of support, etc. Is this true? Peace, Erik

Great news !!!!!!My wife and I got our P3 yesterday. jimi We sent the P3 out a week and a half ago. Wonder when the interview date will be. Some have it for Sept. 24th..hehe Hoping its sooner :-P

Finally received the P3 just today. We were just about to send out the required forms when we decided to call EMS and lo and behold, it had arrived. Been waiting since May 14th. Just so happens that when I called DOS the time I posted this thread, they told me Guangzhou processed and sent the P3 out on Aug. 13th. The EMS package shows otherwise..sent on August 22nd. Jeez... funny thing is the DOS people told me that it is scheduled to be sent out, but doesn't mean it will be sent out on the day they say it will. Seems like the DOS doesn't communicate with GUangzhou clearly.. mainly through computer. Figure the interview date will be sometime in late September perhaps or even October. Peace, Erik

Thank you all so much. As for the company, its the family business, been around for several years already under my father, now passed to me. Steady income, good enough I see.. hahaha On monday, China time, my fiance will be sending out the forms you all spoke about. She actually already knew what to do.. hahaha Peace and Blessings, Erik

We're in the same boat.. I was told on August 13th that the files were finally received and processes, and ready to be sent out. Still no P3 as of today. GUZ email told me on August 19th that the P3 was already on its way, and to wait about 2 weeks. Well, 2 semi-different stories, but with possibility time lapse in the details..haha I am calling the DOS tomorrow morning, because its not bad, and pretty accurate for me. Besides, I spoke to so many of them within the last 3 wks, they all remember my voice, and get right to saying "Hi Erik" hahaha Funny...but patience patience patience... We even call EMS and ask if they received our package..somehow my fiance found the tracking number... hahaha amazing! Peace, Erik

My fiance and I have heard from GZ that as of August 19th the P3 was sent out, yet last week on Aug. 13th I was told byy GZ embassy that it was ready to be sent out and possibly going out that day. It has been a week and 2 days, and no sign of the package...is something possibly wrong? Also, I am sponsoring my fiance, obviously, and my father is co-sponsoring her. Yet, for 4 yrs I lived in China, and did consulting work ove the phone and paid taxes on those profits in America. Now that I have returned, I became the owner of the company I worked for. Though my profits were very very little over the 4yrs of tax returns, would me having the company under my name raise the chances of my fiance being approved? My father has a house, and cars, I have a car, and though he is disabled, has money in savings, lots, and has a small income. We have enough to take care of the bills and survive like all the rest, with extra money to spare, comfortably. What are such chances of getting a visa with these conditions? Peace and Blessings, Erik

Greetings I'm in similar situations as some of the posters here. THe only difference is that I have been filing taxes for the 4yrs I was in China, BUT I was filing them here in NY because I was doing financial consultations through email and phone. So I was making a salary in the U.S. and under my father's company. Now I returned to NY, and am about to fill out the I-134 beneficiary support form. Because my income in the U.S. was low for the 4yrs, I will also have my father as a co-sponsor. Because I have returned, and my father is retiring, he signed the company over to me..though its not a million dollar company, he has been at it for 30yrs, and regisered the company back in '98. Just for the record, what is the income bracket for a sponsor? I never found a rate sheet, or page...etc... Peace and Blessings, Erik
