waiver supporting documents?

[edgar]

Hi all:

Do I need a notarized letter saying my ex-wife will not allow my daughter to go to live in Peru (my wife is from Peru) I am applying for her residency. she entered the us without inspection. My daughter lives with my ex-wife here in the because she has primary custody over her. Letter will give reason I cannot go live in Peru so my wifes will be allowed to live in the USA.

Do I need to notarize all facts or statements I make in my waiver letter?

like Job salary; federal Government career of 19 years? Medical Benefits / economic losses I would incur if I was too quit my job to be with my wife in Peru?

On going Church ties and voluntary contributions to local community?

Not sure what they will believe by just me saying so.

I would like to submit my letter here before sending out and review what supporting evidence might be kosher for the waiver deal.

ok?

Thanks. God bless...I hate writing this waiver.. too far to quit now of course..I believe God will help me somehow..:thumbup:

Thanks you very much!! :) This is a very helpful site ...

Edgar.

The more evidence, the better. Won't hurt to go a little overboard. You don't need to notarize the waiver letter but you do need a notarized letter from ex-wife definitely.

For your job information, if you can get a letter indicating your salary, benefits, level, etc. that would certainly help. Information from health plan and health insurance statements too. I would include your yearly social security statement (seems to come in July at least for me) that shows what you have made, what your contributions are, and your expected SS future payments. This is strong proof of potential economic loss as well as 401K/IRA/Savings plan statements including the costs for early withdrawl.

Definitely post your letter here for review. Good luck.

The Social Security website has a calculator that allows you to figure how much 10 years of not contributing will hurt your Social Security check after you reture- and it shows the results in a nice, printable page.

Yes, get all the evidence you can. I know it seems excessive, but you'll be glad you did.

I would also get letters from your daughter's school counselor that explains how her education, well-being, emtional stability, etc., would suffer if she were forced to move to Peru. Even if your wife would never allow it anyway, it can't hurt. If they're willing, ask them to include something about how they think she would suffer without you in her life on a day to day basis as well.

Good luck!

If you are active in church, I would suggest to ask priest to write a letter. Something like that you and your wife are active members of the XXX Church and that if your wife would not be admitted to the US, you would have to go there and it would be a hardship for the all community, it would be hardship for you because you would not be able to pray in a comfortable surrounding, would be no comfort zone….. , that priest knows you for XX years, ……
Just remember, papers that you submit with the waiver are not about how good person you are, but about what HARDSHIP you and everyone around would experience if you wife is not back to the US or if you have to go and live with her in the Peru.
Do not be afraid to use words like: devastated, heart broken, depressed, worn down.

Adriane, I would never have thought about adding that loss of social security income information. Just wanted to say thanks for mentioning that - this is why I LOVE this site!!
