Let's stick to the 'truth' about us being a bunch of law students from India who are being paid stipends to practice our classroom learnings here by pretending to help people, ehy?

I have a question in relation to the document translations. Do document translations have to be certified by the translator's office or by notary/attorney ?
 
Hi, all
On the form DS260, there is a question to be asked "are you likely to become a public charge after you are admitted to the United States ?" should we answer "YES" if so, does it may affect to our visa eligibility. thanks

You should answer 'NO'. A 'Yes' response will lead to a visa denial. They don't want anyone that will become a public charge!

Translation Certification does not need to be done by a lawyer or a notary. The person doing the translation can prepare the certification.
 
dear all, I am new to the forum, but I read all 37 pages before I signed up here. :)

My number is 2015EU13k, we submitted DS260 form and based on your stories and bulletin we should excpect the interview in Jan-Feb 2015.

Should we continue apply again in October for DV-2016?
During the interview, do they give any option where to go, (any federal program for newcommers) or we have to tell them that we would like to there... because relatives....?
how much money we should show for a family of 4?


thank you and good luck to all...

:cool:

1. Yes, a good idea to apply for DV2016.

2. No they will not tell you about Federal programs for new immigrant, they will not tell you anything about where to go. You're basically on your own. If you have relatives in the US who can provide you with guidance, good for you.

3. About $25K for a family of 4.
 
Quick question please:

Is it true that we can't submit DS-260 after October 2014???? I heard it from someone today, but I seriously doubt it's true.
I haven't submitted mine yet, because I need to travel to the US on an NIV early next year.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Yeah, I've seen yours before Mom, but because it is the 125% 864 level I prefer the other....

Yep, and that's precisely why I prefer to go with that :D. INA 213A actually requires a sponsor to demonstrate an income equal to atleast 125% above the Federal Poverty guideline, not 100%. For immigration purpose, the 100% guideline is only applicable to those in the military I believe. Ofcourse, it's not like they will make a fuss about the amount being a few dollars short.

I took my 100% lead from http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86988.pdf

9 FAM 40.41 N5.6-3 Use of Form I-134, Affidavit of Support

d. The simple submission of Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, however, is not
sufficient to establish that the beneficiary is not likely to become a public
charge. Although the minimum income requirements of Form I-864, do not
apply in such cases (e.g., the 125 percent minimum income amount which is
only required by the I-864), you must make a thorough evaluation of other
factors, such as:

Have I added 2+2 and come up with 5?
