jimncherry Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Need your help.... Here's my story...2004 - Way above proverty level2005 - Way above proverty level2006 - No income, started business but business failed..invested in friend and lived of my savings.2007 - No income except for people investing in my China ventures. Started a corporation but took no salary. Lived of savings and borrowed money2008 - Started a full time job 3 weeks ago which is I will be earning way above proverty level. Also have benefits and can provide medical and dental coverage once we are married. I am also a partner in 2 corporation which just started but have no income as of yet. My question is: Do I still need a co-sponsor? I have my sister and brother-in-law that would co-sponsor and is very well financed and is way way over the proverty level. Please let me know what I need to do or give to the VO. Thanks to all Link to comment
Guest Rob & Jin Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 well if you have not filed your petition yet i wouldnt worry as you dont need to show the I-134 until interview and that would be next year so your 2008 tax filing would work. Link to comment
david_dawei Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 As Rob indirectly states... let us know when your filing the petition.... that determines the answer... but I agree with rob if you have not filed yet or recently filed... Link to comment
Sebastian Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Near as I can tell - you have filed for a K-1 visa for your lass. But - where is it, in terms of 'stage' ? If her interview is within the next few weeks, then regardless of anything else, get a 'letter of employment' from your place of work, on company letterhead, stating :1. what your job position is.2. what your annual salary is.3. date of hire. Someone in the HR office should be able to notarize it for you as well (though I think you not need the notarization). SEND THE LETTER to your LASS via DHL. But hei - when you have a moment, do please put yer timeline in your signature in the user panel here, so that others will be able to give you advice based on yer timeline ! Link to comment

Guest Rob & Jin Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Umm..... for your financials then, you are going to need a notarized letter from HR dept with start date, position and salary (yearly), pay stubs from when you started too. Also you may want to think about a co-sponser. Good luck Link to comment
dnoblett Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Umm..... for your financials then, you are going to need a notarized letter from HR dept with start date, position and salary (yearly), pay stubs from when you started too. Also you may want to think about a co-sponser. Good luck It does not need to be Notarized, only form I-134 needs to be notarized. I had my supervisor do an employer letter for me. Basically, your employer letter should state "To whom it may concern: (first name,last name) has been employed full-time with the XYZ company since 200_ as a (name of your job), and is an employee in good standing with an annual salary of $XXXX. Signed, John Doe, Supervisor (or whatever title)" The letter should be on company letterhead. Link to comment
david_dawei Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 the employer doesn't need to be notarized as stated... but I would do it purely for personal reasons on the following grounds:1. It's a letter neither written nor signed by the USC2. If the consulate has any question of the letter, the first thing they'll ask for is a notarized statement... So the cost to notarize this, while your getting the I-134 notarized anyway seems worth the few dollars... Link to comment

Had my employer, who was more than willing to write me a letter and had it rushed delivered to me the same day by a personal courier. Wow, that was service. Anyways, my sister and brother-in-law called and said they would co-sponsor so I think I have everything I need. They make above the 100,000 so it should be impressive enough. Hope this all work out for us. Thanks for all your comments Link to comment
