TommyLovesCindy Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hi, I am just trying to prepare everything to make sure that we will have all the needed information to get her here but I am unsure of a few things: - I have the last 3 years of taxes but I also had a co-sponsor file the petition thinking it would make things move smoothly as well as faster, should this be a problem? -should my cosponsor write a letter (she is my best friend since i was 14) and if so what should it say? -as for emails me and cindy sent eachother do i need to just press print or do i also need to print some sort of details like Ip adress,etc? -My wife and I mostly communicated via Yahoo messenger, telephone and a few letters BUT she has not saved all the envelopes form the letters- are they a requirement? Any advice will be greatly and thankfully appreciated!!! Link to comment

Guest Gene Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Welcome Aboard Tommy Need a little more information. What you are asking about, sponsership and evidence of income for support is need closer to the end of the process for a K-3 and about the middle of the process for a CR-1. Or are you just starting out? and getting ahead of yourself? Link to comment

Guest Gene Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 (edited) Congratulations on the interview date I understand the K-3. We did it for the same reason. If your income is above the poverty guidelines for the amount of people you support you do not need a co-sponser. But it does not hurt to have one, it is not looked at as bad by Guangzhou. Just have them fill out a I-134 and provide the needed documents, and have the I-134 it self notarized. Just print out the emails, I have heard of Guangzhou being picky one time about someone not having the envelopes for letters sent. But if you don't have them then still take the letters. Phone bills, chat logs, lots of pictures you together with family and friends. Go through the links and resources section above and look for anything about preparing for the interveiw. Most of the stuff is the same K-1, K-3 or CR-1. Are you going to go for the interview? If you can be there it is a good idea for support of your wife and shows reinforced evidence of relationship to the VO if your waiting outside.

But to get back on topic, how will they know if I am outside, I am so nervous for her and myself because on the 22nd of November I get a shoulder surgery done and really hoped she would be home in the US with me to help me!

Guest Gene Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Give her your passport to take in with her. It will have the Chinese Visa in it to show you are in the country and waiting out side. Yes I would stay away from moving things on pizza also Link to comment
warpedbored Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 As long as your income is 125% of the poverty guidelines having a co sponsor is needless paper work. Maybe it wont hurt but I doubt seriously it would help either. If anything it may confuse them. Link to comment
ed and ying Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Welcome !! Good luck, do the reserach and ask questions. I am not a big fan of Pizza Hut, But Ying likes to go sometimes. The flaky, moving stuff is fish flakes. No worries !!! When in China, eat and enjoy the local offerings, save the questions on what you ate for after the meal. Visit KFC, McD, etc just to compare the menu with US counterpart Link to comment

If I were you, I would have your friend fill out the I-134 and get the required documents, but just keep them in reserve. Don't present them at the interview unless, for some reason, they say your income isn't sufficient. But that shouldn't happen. As far as I can tell, there is no subjectivity on this matter. Either you have enough money or you don't. Link to comment
