Hi

I need help in the following question

If my son is US citzen what should i put in form 260 when i get the following question

Is this child immigrating to the U.S. with you?

Is this child immigrating to the U.S. at a later date to join you?

"No" to both questions. A USC cannot immigrate to the US, they will simply be returning back 'home' if they've been away from the US

Not quite sure I got your question correctly. You mean you're asking if someone from this forum who is based in the US can send you a signed and dated I-134?

well that will be much more easier for me :) well my question was is there any minimum requirements as per the poverty Guidlines for the affidavit sponsor ?? that means the person who will send the I-134 Letter signed and dated he needs to reach certain salary to can send you this letter ??

Yes of course there are minimum guidelines. The person has to show that he or she can support both their own family and the DV selectee (and derivatives if applicable).

Well, this question is related to you not your son. We're still talking about your own DS-260 form right? Answer Yes if you have been to the US before or answer NO if you've never visited the US.

No sorry I confuse you , it is about my Son DS-260 , KCC request me to fill the form , even if he is USC
 
Hmmn! It's weird they asked you to go ahead and still fill out the DS form for him. In that case, put yes and put his DOB has the day he visited the US. I hope you guys got his US passport when he was born and it's not yet expired?

Dear all , how do u set p.o.e ? and what is hole?

The Poe is simply the place you land in the US where your immigration paperwork is processed. You don't set it, you simply arrive on a plane.

The holes are the gaps between case numbers that are, basically, selectees that were disqualified during the selection process. Those selectees never even got the selected for further recessing letter.

Thanks Britsimon, and what do you think if in one country number of holes is high on a certain month , will the cut off increase right next months for the specific country?

It is done by region, not country, and yes to some extent holes allow faster progress through case numbers.
 
Dear Britsimon , I saw on Kenyans thread ur comment regarding the bank statement issue , how can we produce since our family has monthly average Ethiopian income, will it be sufficient if I prepared my husband’s monthly income statement from bank (almost earned 750usd/months) and it only shows salary transfer from my husband’s employer company every month and our withdrawal , it shows almost nil at the end of the month, will it be sufficient such bank statement , or do I have to prepare something like borrowing someone’s money and kept it in our account for few days so as to produce bank statement which shows a deposit of $20k or more, if we do that it will be one time deposit and withdrawal that will definitely give sign for CO that we did it for dv purpose, another thing we have condo house estimated $25k bought from the government already paid 20% , the rest will be paid on installment bases every months starting from next year for 20years, will this help to show for CO during our interview as proof asset for our family if yes will it satisfy them that we could capable of affording ticket cost , living expense for a month till we secure a job by ourselves . Off course this is apart from securing affidavit support , as I told u I got a promise from old mate to sign affidavit support for me and my family during interview period .
BTW will the bank statement is necessary if we secure i-134?
As usual thanks in advance.
 
Hi all

I come to the following question

Provide the following information on all educational institutions at a secondary level or above you have attended.

I have university Degree , Should I list the secondary school or it is enough to mention the university only.

Detail the secondary education as THAT is what is important to qualify.

You MAY be asked to show how you will avoid becoming a public charge. Not everyone is asked that question, but some are. IF asked you can show your ability to support yourself through one or a combination of things such as an I134, bank statements, personal assets (that will be sold) and so on. From poorer countries it is obvious that having $20k savings from a regular salary would be unusual. In that case, showing a deposit of $20k that you borrowed would be more likely to work against you, because it would be obviously dishonest (unless it is a genuine gift with supporting documentation from the person who gave the gift). So - be careful with that. Being poor is better than being dishonest.

Because of the difficulty in showing those savings, an I134 can be used - and yes it can be sufficient to meet the requirement with no further proof of savings etc.

It says detail all at secondary or above...so why do you want to leave out secondary entirely when it specifically tells you to include it?? :confused:
