Candice, et al.....
Is the requirement different for those of us doing a K-1 Fiance Visa as compared to those of you doing a Spouse Visa??
In my papers to him, I included the I-134 Affadavit of Support, not the I-864 (I think thats the right number). And on the 134 it states that you do not have to give tax returns at all, only a letter from current employer and letter from the bank.
I suppose this is a question to try and milk the answer out of the consulate over there for.....but in the past, direct answers to specific questions are rather difficult to obtain from them.
Have a great day everyone...
Peace,

Sounds like you and your family are adjusting well. Email me offline and let's catch up on what's been happening.
FYI, check out tenni's K3 website. We're trying to get those who've "passed" to put their data in for comparison. It's at http://www.mediabrew.com/k3/list.php.
Glad you stopped by here for a visit.
Cheers,

if you are going through MOROCCO, probally. I was told buy the consulate guy that they DO NOT look at any other source to verify your income EXCEPT those 3 years of tax returns.
yes you turned in the right number I-134, I talked with the man in charge directly after many many many tries and this is what he told me, though he was not very helpful in supplying answers.
Good luck, Morocco is gettting to be a HUGE headache.

tax returns
My husband came on a K-1 through a difficult embassy and he needed my 3 years of tax returns. I am guessing from all your posts that this a tough consulate, as was ours. My suggestion would be to gather up any and everything you ever heard about anyone ever needing for either a spousal or fiance visa, and make sure it is available for the interview. Keep it orgainzed so it looks like your husband/fiance is on top of his game. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
Good luck to all.
Good luck to all.

HA!
You're talking to the Queen of the Neurotics over here!!
He is so organized he'll walk in looking like a filing cabinet!! HA!!
But ok, I will make copies of the last 3 years tax returns and send them to him, JUST IN CASE. However, it is highly irritating that they go by income tax returns alone. That is not fair. Because this year I make enough money, my letter of employment states that, my bank letter states more than enough in deposits, yet thay are going to only look at PAST tax returns?! That is completely ridiculous. Since I moved to Floirda last year, I do not make enough last year to beat the 125%, but the year prior to that I was a stock trader and made WAAAAY more than enough.
I am slightly agitated right now....
Talk to you gals later...
Thanks gobs for the helpful info though. I truly appreciate it.

Re: HA!
To all of you,
I loved this thread so much, I finally joined Britishexpats. My husband is also in Morocco and we will go through the Casa Consulate. For those of you further along than me, I'm curious how long the Police Certificate took. I have been encouraging my husband to get some of these things done ahead of time, but he thinks they may expire and he'll have get them again. I'm mainly referring to the police paper and medical exam.
Thanks
Leslie

Hi Leslie...
It is a good thread, isn't it? It's the Specifically Morocco Thread, and that's GREAT!! We need more of those here
But truly, welcome. I hope we can all be helpful to each other. I am doing a K-1 Fiance Visa so I think I'm a little different than most of you. It would have been great to get married in Morocco, but time did not permit that.
Peace,
~kristine

It's the Specifically Morocco Thread with some Egyptian and Iranian thrown in for good measure... LOL
Interesting to compare notes from all the Middle Eastern cultures :-) By the way, is Morocco considered the Middle East? Culturally perhaps, but not geographically....? Educate me! :-)

Oops....you're right!
You're right! There is a little Egyptian, Iranian and Turkey in here too....
You know, I'm not all that certain about Morocco being Middle East. I sort of think not. They are mostly mentioned in North Africa. Strange, but I'm not sure......
It reminds me of a conversation that Said and I had while in Morocco about the origins of the people in Morocco. Goes deeper than I care to start now....but, it was interesting and as I recall we never finished it.....hmmm........

BTW, you can call the IRS and order transcripts of your returns (free) that make a nice tidy, official document to send with your fella.

Thank you so much Meauxna.......
I guess I can understand the point, but it's still not completely understandable why they don't look at the current income. Well, hopefully what I have will be sufficient.
Take care.

That's the same info my husband got re: the police certificate so I'm satisfied with that. My husband lives and works in Marakesh. I am going for the K3, and I'm doing the I-130 through the Texas Service Center. I was so discouraged when I saw the interview date on your timeline. Why so long? That's crazy. If mine goes the way yours did it will be next year before Khalid is here.
Thanks,
Leslie
