k1 visa interview

k1 visa interview?
my fiance has his visa interview in just over 2 wks. i am terribly nervous. i am worried about r affidavit of support. i met the income guidelines last yr and was above, however i took an hr cut in 2007 to finish my nursing degree. at right at the cut off of the 175% poverty level for 2 people. now, i also have savings stocks retirement and property. these onto my income put me over the requirement. should i worry? also, does anyone no the waiting period for a visa from germany? i keep hearing horror stories of 10 yr bars and waiting months or a yr. we were hoping to b married may 4th. this date is very important to us. any advice? i will not be going to the interview with him. he is in germany i am in the us. i dont no if it matters but he has a masters degree in computer science so it isnt like hes coming completely empty handed, but it didnt ask anything pertaining to this on the I-134. now he hasnt really worked for about a yr (hes assisted on a few projects) but hed come stay w/ me for 90 days on his passport then go home for about 30 days then come back. (we just want to b together)

If you filed out all your papers correctly, filed them, and they ask for info and you gave it then all you can do is go in and answer the questions they ask honestly. you do not need a pro to go with you or pay to file forms, or anything eles.

Translation, especially of medical documents, would be a good way to make money.
2 :
wow. very nice i can speak russian and spanish but not fluently though. Become a translator for people who need to translate german to english and english to German.
3 :
Definately look into an English Second Language (ESL) teaching program!
4 :
Translator is a great job.
5 :
Being bilingual in Germany will bring you more money than in the US, English to German is not as good as to German to English. Other than becoming a German teacher it is not much in the US good luck

How to get in college while stationed with husband in Germany

How to get in college while stationed with husband in Germany?
I am trying to get registered for school while stationed over in Germany with my husband who is in the Army. I have been out of high school going on 6 years in april. I haven't started trying to get my degree yet so busy with my kids. I would like to start my pre reqs for nursing school. I went to the education councilors over here and they handed me a bunch of pamphlet's and said good luck ... they suck at their job!!!! I have tried googling but I don't understand any of it. If anyone knows anything that could help me I would appreciate it. I am not an idiot, I am just new to all of it.

Currently stationed in Germany, Husband due to deploy in Feb 09' but school starts Dec in TN do I go

Currently stationed in Germany, Husband due to deploy in Feb 09' but school starts Dec in TN do I go?
I will have been in Germany for almost a year with my husband when my nursing school starts back in the states..Nursing is not a option here for me in Germany. Its a 13 month course. He will be deployed in Feb 09' for Iraq (as we know so far) I feel really bad for leaving my husband in Dec to go do school but if I wait Ill have to spend time away from him after his deployment but im soo scared something will happen to him and ill wish I would have stayed that extra month..But schooling is important b/c when we go back to the states from Germany I will be the only one working while he is school finishing his degree.. I don't know what to do..My husband is far more important than schooling but we will be in a bind if we go back to the states and me and him both in school..

Go back to TN for school. Good luck.
2 :
Discuss it with your husband and see how he feels about it. Maybe he will be able to take some leave before shipping out to Iraq. Also since you are military, you may be able to fly back and forth on military planes.
3 :
It sounds as if whether you go in Dec or after he comes back from his deployment that you are going to have to be away from each other. Ask your husband which he would prefer, since this both concerns you guys and go from there. You should definitely finish school though, especially since your husband want to finish school when you get back to the states.Is there any chance that your husband can take leave in Dec or Jan? If so, go ahead and start school and let him spend time with you down there. If not, maybe you shouldn't go but instead use your time in Germany to get a job at like the BX or Commissary and just save up a ton of money until he gets back, that way you are not in a financial bind when you go back to the States and you can both go to school at the same time.

I am also stationed in Germany and I am also deploying in January 09. I am in Finance and keep one thing in mind. If you go home for more then 30 days your husband will lose COLA. Now if you go home on ERD orders your trip home will be paid for and you will get BAH while your husband is deployed. You did not mention in your question what your husband thinks. I would like to know that before I can answer you. If your husband feels the same way you do then go. If not take his feelings into consideration and decide together, since whatever financial situation you find yourself in will be his also. Good luck and from one Soldier to another Soldier tell him I said God Bless.
