Hi computek09,
The good Lord who started this journey with us will obviously end with us. We are all going to be successful with our interview.
Good to hear that, hope everything goes on well for you.

Where is Mykoko, its been a long time we heard from him. I need to find out about the processing of the affidavit of support by my sponsor. This is because my sponsor is not getting the whole idea as to where to send it to be notarised.
he is confused now.
he is confused now.
It doesn't need to be notarised. (Note: signing form I-134 is under panelty of perjury under U.S. law). For this reason, it's not necessary to sign the form before a notary, or to have your signature notarised after your sponsor has sign it. Let your sponsor complete the form and sign it, and also attach in duplicate evidence of financial income or resources in a form of all or any of these:
a. A bank statement giving information about date account opened, total amount deposited for the past year, and present balance; or
b. A letter from your sponsor's employer showing date and nature of employment, salary paid, and whether the position is temporary or permanent; or
c. If your sponsor is self-employed, a copy of last income tax return filed, or report of commercial rating concern; or
d. List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).

Hi Mykoko its good to be back again, we really missed ur absence. could u please tell me the other financial documents ur sponsor attached to the affidavit of support?
computek09, I thought I explained what doc to attach with the affidavit in the previous page, or you want to hear from someone who have already attended an interview?
Happy Nu year to you guys! How was the festive season? Hope is well with ya. Am so crying cause no one missed me, really???! Jox
Big up Ammeck09, hope all is well.
Am so happy for ya, Alexee357. you must be a busy man now.
. Mykoko, you are getting your passport with that Visa in. Our sucessful stories have started and there is no end to it...Watch and see. We are all coming out winners.I was so sure that the March bulletin was going to hit 30,000's but anyway I am still praying that we get to be current in the next two month.
Apart from that, please Advise,
Me and ma spouse had a holiday in South Africa last month and we were given a multiple visa of 3 months each but each visit is not supposed to exceed 30 days. If you want to stay longer, one should inform the authorities in advance, say a week before the end of the 30 days. We never wanted to stay longer than 30 days. On the night we were leaving to come back home, we called the airline to confirm our flight but I think the person was too busy to confirm our flight thou they said that we had confirmed. We reached the airport and we were told that we couldn't leave that night cause the flight was full and they booked us for the next flight out the next day. As we were leaving the next morning, at the customs, we were asked to pay a fine of 2000 rands that we had made an over stay. we tried to tell them that it wasn't our fault, blah blah blah but they couldn't listen. The airline and the South African High commission don't work together, they kept saying. We told them about the 2 months visas that we still had and thats when they told us about informing the authorities a week earlier if one ever tends to stay longer than 30 days. We paid the money but got BIG STAMPS in our passports on the observation page saying " Fine Paid". Am so scared. Does anyone think whether it will have an effect on us during our interviews or we just need to mention it to the consular and thats it????????
Thanks bruv for the words of encouragement. I hope to go there for the Visa.
Like Ammeck09 said in his earlier response the affidavit of support (AOS) doesn't have to be notarised.
My sponsor had the AOS notarised. He added a copy of his tax returns for 2008, a letter from his employers and a copy of his bank statement. I asked him to put the AOS with the supporting documents in a sealed envelope adressed to the embassy. I thought that would make it look more official and professional. The lady who inspected my documents at the embassy asked me to open the sealed envelope and bring out the contents. She first took the AOS followed by the supporting documents. I hope this answers your question.
My advice to those yet to go for their interviews. You don't have to worry if you don't have an AOS. There was this guy who didn't have an AOS, he didn't even know what it was when I asked him if he had one. He was also asked to come on the 2nd February. The consular officer didn't ask him about any AOS. He was told they were doing some checks on his documents and that he should come on the 2nd.

question well answered
thank u guys for your contributions, the reason for asking so many questions abt this affidavit of support thing is that my sponsor needed so much info abt it because it was so new to him. am now ok, all my questions well answered.
i am now waiting for my medical results. i did my medicals at Akai house on the 6th of Jan. i was given two phone numbers to call after two weeks for collection, and i advise all those who are yet to go for their medicals to go to akai hse bcos as it's close to the embassy, one get familiarise with the environment. since it was my first time there i was driving around the whole place not knowing where to park.
my advise to those abt 2 go for their medicals is to eat b4 going becos u will be asked to eat b4 the vaccination. and be prepared for 6(six) instant injections. the woman after the injection exclaimed " s3 3y3 wo ya, s3 worep3 America Ako? hw3 na waansu" and she laughed. oh when will all this b over 4 us to get our visas.

Hi Computek09,
Did you just said anyone who is going for the medicals should be prepare to take six instant injections? This is too much, why do they want to kill us. Anyway i started working on my police report today and hopefully, i will start the medicals tomorrow. Maybe i have to be prepare for six strong injections as advised.
