hi again (sponsor question)

[onetruth 0]

so I am a college student still rather young (21). we got the noa1 about a month and 1/2 ago and know that when i get the noa2 i will then have to show how much money i make and my assets. I know that mine are too low so my parents are willing to sponsor us. so I am a bit lost. do i need to send them a copy of the I134 and we both fill one out? also will my age affect anything on them deciding if she can come over here.

I have been reading around on other sites and have heard of stories of them being rather strict especailly during the interview things like msn converstaions not being deep enough so they got turned down.

thanks again for all your guys' help

I-134 not needed until interview day, so be certain that you have all sussed out about 3 weeks prior to interview day - WHEW ! you have some time, to study the I-134 (and I-864) instructions. The embassy does not receive it any other way except for yer lass to hand it over a counter, on interview day.

If you don't meet the poverty guidelines, you'll need to get a joint sponser / co-sponser.

So you fill one out, as the primary sponser (the petitioner is the primary sponser, regardless of income) and then yer parents will prepare an I-134 as well. Scanned versions of the I-134 containing a signature aren't acceptable, must be an original signature, suggest blue ink.

GUZ IV is really tough (when warranted) about 'communication ability' between the couple - so be sure to cover this as part of yer EOR letter (that's submitted on interview day).

To be a little more specific about the I-134 affidavit of support, it is not both parents that fill it out. It is one or the other. You can only have one joint sponsor for an I-134.

They must figure out correctly how to separate their income and only one person declares their income on their I-134.

The joint sponsor must be a US Citizen, US National or LPR domiciled in the US, its possessions or territories. You will need to submit copies of the birth certificate or green card for the parent submitting the I-134 in addition to all of the financial documents submitted as proof.

Good luck.
