Question about financial support.

[Meg and Grae 1]

Hi everyone,

I am a New Zealander living and working in the UK.I carry a New Zealand and a British passport.

My fiance is American and we are planning to start the K1 visa paperwork when she starts her new job soon.

I notice that the fiance must provide evidence of financial support to accompany the non immigrant form which i will fill out?.

So do i have to provide a bank statment for this?.And how much money must i have?..Is there a minimum requirement?.

Or have I misunderstood what this means?..sorry , Im new to all this.

Thankyou..

you have to fill up I-134

The US Citizen will have to fill out the I-134 form, have it notarized and send it to the beneficiary (non US citizen) so that they can take it to their interview to prove that they will not become a burden on the state. The US citizen will need to earn 125% above the poverty limit. The beneficiary will have to apply for EAD before they can work after they enter the US and apply for AOS.

I cant tell from your timeline if your the petitioner or benefitionary , if she moves to be with you , or you move to be with her ,

anyhow incase you intend to move that would make you the benefitionary , so she would have to fill out the I 134 ,since she is the petitioner and your sponser (she has to be 125% over the poverty guideline , incase the income isnt enough , you will need a co sponser ,)

you need the original i 134 , the dublicated full package of filling the I 129 ( so make sure you make dublicates before sending it they might not ask for it at the interview , but better save then sorry incase they do want to see it) and other forms at the interview , you can always look at the guide for K1 visa here , its great advise , also they give great advice on the example forms how to fill them out if you get stuck , hope I helpd a lil , Lona

Oh,sorry.I should have stated.

I am the beneficiary and she is the petitioner.

Oh,just another question.I have never committed an offence either in New Zealand or here in the UK.Do I still have to provide police reports from the New Zealand and British police?.

yes you have to privide police certificates from places you resided , am not to sure if they need it for the I 129 , ( as in my case I was born in germany permanent resident of canada , only had the german police certificate avalable at the time when we filled the I 129 , they didnt ask for the canadian in a RFE,so i didnt need it till i got the package 3 ) but try to get all the documents together before NVC transfers the I 129f to your countrys us consolate who will then send you package3 ,
