I need help with my fiancee visa application

[olatunde 9]

My application has been approved and sent to Nigeria. Please, guys who had passed through this processing. What are the items are needed to get ready. Am i am confused about AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT. Do i need to submit two forms for affidavit of support (petitioners & co-sponsor)? Which of the forms should i use (I-134 or I-864).

Thanks guys for your supports and moral advice. Please i strongly need your advices

• I-134 Affidavit of Support including:
  • I-134 Form (filled out and signed)
  • Statement from Banks about funds
  • Statement from Employer about Employment
  • Copies of last 3 paychecks
  • Copy of last year tax return
  • Copy of w-2 form

This is copied from my list of what I will need after the NoA2 arrives. For the bank statement have them give a statement on when the account was opened, what the 12 month (yearly) deposit was, and how much is currently in there. Make sure they use their letter head or special watermarked paper (Get copies just in case).

As for your employer have them write out a statement on the company letter head that states when you started working, what the nature of your job is, if it's a temporary or permanent position, and how much yearly you gross.

If you are self-employed their are more tax returns you need to submit.

all the requirements are written in here http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-134instr.pdf

Best of luck.

I believe if you're using a co-sponsor you will need to submit two I-134s one for you and one for them in addition to the supporting evidence of course... either way it can't hurt to be prepared with both just in case they ask.

thanks guys for your advice, @ST, do i need to notarize those documents you listed??? Or do i just fill them, sign and send them??

[St&Sv 33]

In the instructions for the I-134, under Execution of Affidavit it says:

"Form I-134 must be signed in your full name. (Note: Signing Form I-134 is under penalty of perjury under U.S. Law). For this reason, it is not necessary to sign Form I-134 before a notary, nor to have your signature notarized after you sign it."

So no you don't need to have any notary services done to it.

Go to the links atop any VJ page: "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy." Also, read every relevant thread in your regional forum -- Sub-Saharan Africa -- that pertain to Lagos.

Lagos prefers tax transcripts to copies of tax forms

They will like a transcipt from both , scanned should be fine. Only the actually person is supposed to be able to order the transcript, It is sent to the address the taxes were filed from. No notarization , all notarization does is confirm the identity of a signature. It doesn't nothing about the content of any document.

@Nigeriaorbust, so i should disregard form I-134 for AOS and use the tax transcripts only for both me and my co-sponsor?? I really appreciate your effort, support and time you invested to answer questions that bothers me. God will favor you too in all of your endeavor. thanks very much, i really appreciate.

You fill out the form, you use the tax transcripts to support your claimed income(s)
