I-134 student and co-sponsor

[bakofoil 27]

My fiance and I are just preparing our evidence for the embassy interview and have a couple of questions regarding the I-134.

He is currently a student and so his mom is co-sponsoring. A look through the guides/forums has generated the following areas of confusion:

Q11. I intend/do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person(s) named in item 3.

I see on the sample form that it recommends 'N/A ( K1 visa process for permanent residence )' but I don't actually understand what this means. His mom will be providing room and board for us until we get settled so i'm not sure whether we should put that down or the 'N/A' comment. Why is it not applicable?

Q7. I am employed as or engaged in the business of....

My fiance is a student. Should he state here that he is engaged as a full-time student and enter the address of the university?

Q3. Relationship to sponsor

For his mom's form should we write 'future daughter-in-law' here?

and finally as a student what evidence does my fiance need to submit in support of his I-134? He has details of his financial aid, bank statements but has not filed taxes for some years.

Many thanks for your help!

The I-134 can also be filled out for other visas where stating specifically the type of support you're providing is necessary. So for K-1, N/A (K-1 visa) is the correct answer.

Q7. I am employed as or engaged in the business of....

My fiance is a student. Should he state here that he is engaged as a full-time student and enter the address of the university?

He would write full-time student and name of the university.

Q3. Relationship to sponsor

For his mom's form should we write 'future daughter-in-law' here?

Sounds good to me...but I didn't have a co-sponsor, so maybe someone who did it w/ co-sponsor can chime in.

and finally as a student what evidence does my fiance need to submit in support of his I-134? He has details of his financial aid, bank statements but has not filed taxes for some years.

Has he made less than the minimum income for filing taxes? Is he being claimed on his parents taxes? it is my understanding that even though your income is minimal, you should file taxes. I have filed taxes since I was 16 years old...and I was a student for a good few years afterwards.

Many thanks for your help!

Good luck,

Thanks for the quick response and the advice. I don't think he has filed taxes in a few years. He has made less than the minimum for filing. Is this going to cause us a problem even if the co-sponsor comes up with sufficient evidence to support her I-134?

Perhaps I should add also that I will have sufficient in cash to make up the deficit between his student income and the minimum income requirement. His mom also earns way above the minimum.

He should include a statement indicating his income was below the the required tax filing threshold the previous three years.

"Son's fiancee" might fit in the space better.

I had been worrying most about the tax thing but I will ask him to write a statement with some evidence supporting his claims.

Yes, "son's fiancee" is better. Thank you.
