Interview Process for i-134

[ScottMichela 0]

Hey VJ members,

In your experiences how did the CO go about requesting the i-134? I have spent 10 days gathering documents that I have so many details in my head! I need to back away and get a sense of the big picture again. Did they take your i-134 and review if before your conversation, or did they ask during the interview? Did they ask for very specific proof- or did you just hand them a pile at once?

This is by far the most stressful portion of the visa for me- anything to put my mind at ease would help!

I handed all my paperwork during the 'pre-interview'. The lady who collected it asked for my documents one by one and checked I had everything in order. When it came to the affidavit of support, she asked for the i-134 first, and then for all the supporting documents. Again, I handed those one by one.

The CO didn't mention the affidavit of support at all during the actual interview - I assumed it was because my fiance's income was more than enough to meet the poverty guidelines.

Best of luck to you - try not to stress out toooooooooooooooooooo much.

Great! So glad to hear this from a Naples survivor too. Haha, I think I've passed the "toooo much" threshold. Did they request specific evidence for the I-134, or were you able to hand them a packet? I'd hate to not be able to give them information that would help a favorable ruling just because they didn't request it.

Well I don't remember exactly, but I believe I only gave them the letter of employment and the tax returns. As I said I wasn't too worried about it because the income was enough.

If I were you, I'd give them the i-134 first, and then all the supporting/additional documents in a folder showing a list of the content.
