Hi All:
I am very confused and would like so clarificaiton on the process of filing for my spouse who is in South America. We just got married in May in his country, Peru, and I was there doing my masters internship from May-October. I am now back in the states back in Florida where i have lived my whole life. I planned on moving in January since I am job hunting for a more professional job to go with my masters instead of a retail position I have now. My question is I have been told from 7 months to 2 years that it would take for him to come over. I was not eligible to fill for his I 130 while I was in Peru. I have the I130 and the two bio forms one for me one for him, I have pictures from him, our marriage certificate, our birth certificates- neither of us have ever been married before or have children.
I was also told that if i didnt make 15,000 in 2006 or 2005 which i was doing my bacholers so as a student i did not - that i would need to find a co signer - but i thought that for the I 130 to start the process i just had to send all the information I listed above and then afterwards for the afidavit of support have a job that made above poverty - or at that time do i need someone to sign ??? I finish my masters in August/Dec 2008 but do not want to wait until then or wait a year to be able to see him again since I am the only one who can travel. He does not have a visa to come to the US so we have to spend all the time apart while i wait and its really hard on the both of us. We have done long distance for 3 years and so the sooner we can be together here the better.
I would really like to go ahead and start the process for the I130 so if I dont have a cosponsor/signer now can I go ahead and send it while I talk to my friends?I want to get that started to see how long it takes to be able to do the K-3 if that will make his trip here faster.
Thank you-
SMM
