Returning to this thread 'cause I have another question about what you said, tsap seui! I know you said you got all the shots done in one day, but aren't there some shots which must be administered throughout a couple of months? Also, would there be any other potentially tricky business with the shots that would delay us? Just trying to cover all bases here. Thanks.

Affidavit of Support - what exactly is needed
Invictus replied to Invictus's topic in Consulate Process: P-3 ~ Interview
The problem with that is that when I try to file for 2011 (using an online service), it only gives me the option of filling out a W2, which I of course do not have. Then I cannot continue submitting, 'cause the W2 requires Employer ID Number, etc. I do not have that from the university in China.- 32 replies

Affidavit of Support - what exactly is needed
Invictus replied to Invictus's topic in Consulate Process: P-3 ~ Interview
I'm confused. I sent them the 4852's for 2010, 2011, and 2012, and I received a letter thanking me for the 4852 and "we have no record of receiving a 2011 tax return. You should complete & return a 2011 return as soon as possible." I thought the point of filing a 4852 was that I do not have a tax return to file. Does anyone know what I should do next? How do I file a 2011 "tax return" when I have no W2?- 32 replies

Okay, got all that. I'll take care of it. Meanwhile, I went back to the co-sponsor and he swears he has absolutely no paystubs. Zilch. Only direct deposit. So, as Dan had mentioned earlier in this thread, I suppose this means he must give me copies of his monthly bank statements showing the salary he received for every month, izzat right?- 32 replies

Thanks 2mike&Jin for the sobering advice. I'm going to file the past years' tax returns, but I'm going to do my best to be grumpy about it. Randy, I just want to be perfectly clear about this, since I've never done it before. I worked in China 09-2010 to 02-2012. I then worked in Germany from 03-2012 to 07-2012. So I need THREE forms: 1 for China 2010, 1 for China 2011, and one for Germany 2012. Is this correct?- 32 replies

lukoktonos, I didn't file any taxes while in China, it was the last thing on my mind. How could I file now? I never got any Chinese equivalent of a W2 from them. Dan, Regarding the matter of 6 months' pay stubs, my co-sponsor says he only gets paid with direct deposit, there are no paystubs to show. What should I do in this case, ask him to print out his monthly bank statements?- 32 replies

Thanks, guys! Is it possible, just to be on the safe side, to sponsor her myself and then ALSO have a co-sponsor, or is it either/or?- 32 replies

Affidavit of Support - what exactly is needed
Invictus replied to Invictus's topic in Consulate Process: P-3 ~ Interview
The past two years I was teaching English in China, making about about $640 a month, not including the two month summer break. I certainly did not earn > $8,000 per year. Before that, I was a student in New York and wasn't working. I thought the requirement was 10% above poverty level. For New York, isn't that around $16,000? In any event, I have a co-sponsor ready who earns $41,000. Many thanks as always.- 32 replies

Thanks, I didn't know that. What if I got a job this year making well above poverty level (New York), but I do not have three years' worth of tax returns (I was abroad)? Must I still use a co-sponsor? What is the difference between tax transcripts and tax returns, should I (or my co-sponsor) get one or the other?- 32 replies

Our interview won't be till end of this year, so I'm preparing well ahead of time. I haven't been able to find any reliable information on what exactly is needed when submitting an Affidavit of Support. For example: Tax transcripts or returns? Do they want a W2? How many paystubs (if a regular employee and not self-employed)? What other forms do they need? I want to prepare over and above what is necessary and give her every single piece of paper they could possibly request when the time comes.

DACA - The new "black hole"?
Invictus replied to Jeikun's topic in General Visa Discussion & First Steps
I wasn't aware #2 was an option, good to know. Ah, well. The K1 is already filed at this point. -
DACA - The new "black hole"?
Invictus replied to Jeikun's topic in General Visa Discussion & First Steps
I too have thought about this. In fact, that is what I was doing when we met. Here's another issue, though: How would you satisfy the financial requirements when you're only making the equivalent of a few hundred American dollars a month? -
Recommended phonecard with log?
Invictus replied to Invictus's topic in Communications, Planes, Shipping & Money
I too noticed when I go to work, out by JFK airport, I tended to get better signal. When I called from closer to the city where I live, the connection was never good. Must be nice to live out there instead of the antpile that is NYC. I'll be doing the same myself one day. -

Invictus replied to Invictus's topic in Communications, Planes, Shipping & Money
No prob, tsap! It's not like it's your fault! I thought I had responded to the private message. Yes, I did print out the whole page, no problem there. Like I said, other people should still try this service. I think calling from my cell to California might have just been a bad connection. It's good that we have this thread to exchange these tips, so thanks again.
