Can u pls give me the complete Address in Surulere. Thanks.

jidedon2000@yah:
@daomi 2nd batch of dvlottery ll be out by 1st of October. goodluck

Gentiger: Please I need everyone to make an input here. A fellow got denied because he couldn't provide sufficient proof of funds and had no affidavit of support from a legal resident or citizen.

I have heard people say you don't need affidavit of support, Form 134 precisely. In line with this fellows experience, is it wise to tell people they don't need it? Don't you all think this little piece of document is very crucial?

jidedon2000@yah:

Kemzone2003: THIS IS NOT A GENERAL RULE BUT AT THE POWER OF THE CONSULAR OFFICER IF HE FEELS THE PERSON MAY BECOME A PUBLIC CHARGE OR MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HIS EXPENSES BEFORE HE CAN GET A JOB.THE MIGHT REQUIRES HIM TO PRODUCE I-134. BUT NOT I-864

Affidavit of Support General Information and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who needs an I-864 Affidavit of Support?

The following applicants for immigrant visas need an I-864:

•Most applicants in family-based immigrant visa categories
•Orphans to be adopted in the United States (IR-4)
•Applicants for employment-based immigrant visas whose relative filed the immigrant visa petition or whose relative has a five percent or greater ownership interest in the business that filed the petition

Do applicants who are applying for an immigrant visa in a visa category that does not require the I-864 Affidavit of Support, such as the diversity immigrant visa, need to meet the public charge provisions of Section 213A of the INA?

No. Consular officers will review immigrant visa applicants whose visa categories do not require the I-864 under the public charge guidelines in Section 212(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The applicants must show, however, that they will not become a public charge. A consular officer may ask for an I-134 Affidavit of Support and supporting documents.The Principal Applicant may need to show income at 100 percent of the federal poverty guidelines for household size, not the 125 percent requifred under Section 213A of the INA.

Should diversity (DV) or returning resident (SB) applicants use the I-864 or the I-134?

They should use the I-134. The I-864 can only be used in the specified categories (most family-based and certain employment-based cases). All other applicants must use the I-134 if an affidavit of support is needed. Applicants using the I-134 will need to show that their sponsor's income is 100 percent of federal poverty guidelines as required under Section 212(a)(4) of the INA.

What can be used as assets?

Assets can be savings, stocks, bonds and property. They must be easily converted to cash.

Can the immigrant visa applicant count assets that he or she owns that are outside the United States, such as real estate or personal property?

Yes, under these conditions:

•The assets must be readily convertible to cash within 12 months
•The applicant must show that he/she can take the money or assets out of the country where they are located. Many countries have strict regulations which limit the amount of cash or liquid assets that can be taken out of the country
•The assets equal at least five times the difference between the sponsor's income and 125 percent of the poverty line for the household size.

Gentiger:

In other words, it's necessary to have one if the individual does not have an offer of employment or personal funds to support self.

Well like I said earlier, this DV applicant was denied on this ground. I strongly feel those going for interview should take particular note of this. It's at the discretion of the CO to ask or not. Goodluck all.

Kemzone2003:

@Gentiger...DONT MIX IT UP PLS

on the selectee instructions...There is no mention of that requirements...so u are not expected to have it at your interview...iF THE CO needs it...He will only request for it and schedule another interview date for you to go and get it from your sponsor.

U will not be denied for additional information required just like family picture and other proof of family relationship.It will just delay the issuance of the VISA...The Only thing that will expressly disqualify you is the Academic and Experience requirement.
