K-3 affidavit of support

[Erthwhile 0]

hi there,

when filing for K-3, my spouse has to present an affidavit of support. it's probable that she will be a new employed (as she will be right out of college) and won't have a long credit history, On the other hand, I have some cash I can transfer to her bank account, so that she could demonstrate she has enough money to support me while there... The question is: would that work?

Another thing is: who can sponsor me on her behalf, and how much money whould that person demonstrate to have?

Thanks a lot!!

take a look at this page

I know it is for last year.. but the numbers are similar to there...

2007 POVERTY GUIDELINES*

Minimum Income Requirement for Use in Completing Form I-864

For the 48 Contiguous States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam:

Sponsor's Household Size 100% Poverty Line 125% Poverty Line

2 13,690 17,112

3 17,170 21,462

4 20,650 25,812

5 24,130 30,162

6 27,610 34,512

7 31,090 38,862

8 34,570 43,212

Add $3,480 for each additional person Add $4,350 for each additional person

that chart is crooked... basically for "you and your spouse" (2 people) you would need $17,112 (125% Poverty Level)...

I don't think you do a I-864 for K3..

"You also need to begin preparing an I-134 Affidavit of Support. The I-134 Affidavit of Support will be filled out by the US Citizen and sent to the spouse for the K3 interview. It is not required to be sent to the Service Center with the I-129F. Some Consulates require extra information to be included with the Affidavit, some may not even require the Affidavit itself, but still require the supporting documentation, so you need to hang onto it until you have learned whether or not there are additional requirements. These will be listed on the OF-167 "financial support" document the spouse receives from the Consulate. "
