I-134 Question

[NickandChristine 0]

We are using my finance's mom as a co-sponsor. We are still not sure on a couple questions and I was hoping someone knows the answer.

Question 7: If she has enough income, she doesn't need to fill in the rest, right? They don't need to know her bank balance, morgage, real estate? I know they own a house but they still do owe a lot on it. Does she need to write that down?

Question 11: I intend or not intend to make specific contribution to support the person.

Should she also write: N/A ( K1 visa process for permanent residence )

I also had her write a letter that we will stay at her downstairs apartment for free. Therefore, I don't know if we should mention that in 11 or should I even include that letter?

Then for my finance:

He didn't file taxes last year because he was unemployed. Should we include a letter with an explanation? He was here with me for the last 3 months.

Should he include what he has in his account even though it is not that much? ($1000)

He receives Social Security. I believe that is not considered income but should he write it down somewhere? Is that important? Everything is legal on that and they will continue to pay him until he found a job that will cover his medical expenses.

I have money in the bank and my parents put a house in my name. Should I print that and bring it to the interview?

Thank you so much for your help. I am just so worried about this co-sponsor thing. I hope he will find a good job before we have to file for AOS.

Question 7: If she has enough income, she doesn't need to fill in the rest, right? correct. Leave the unneeded spaces blank.

Question 11: I intend or not intend to make specific contribution to support the person: Should she also write: N/A ( K1 visa process for permanent residence )? Sounds good. I'd include "co-sponsor" in the words (N/A -- cosponsor for K1 visa process for permanent residence), but that's just me.

Therefore, I don't know if we should mention that in 11 or should I even include that letter? It's not necessary, but it shouldn't hurt.

Fiance: Should we include a letter with an explanation? Wouldn't hurt. As long as he has a co-sponsor meeting the requirements, it doesn't matter much.

Fiance: Should he include what he has in his account even though it is not that much? ($1000) I don't see why not. Again, with the co-sponsor it's not a big deal

Fiance: He receives Social Security. I believe that is not considered income but should he write it down somewhere? Is that important? Again, not important with the co-sponsor. You might want to include the "bottom-line" of how SS money comes into play in the letter describing the situation.

I have money in the bank and my parents put a house in my name. Should I print that and bring it to the interview? I'm assuming you are the non-US-citizen beneficiary. Your assets will not be a factor. If said house can be used for U.S. residence, you might want to bring the deed (or proof of ownership), but don't bother with it unless they really start scrutinizing, which they won't.

Namely, if you have a co-sponsor who meets the 125%-poverty-line requirement, you're set. Good luck!
