Question about the I-134, Affidavit of Support

[croat 0]

Hi

In my K1 Packet 3, there is a I-134 form, Affidavit of Support included.

I am just wondering, do I have to fill this form and keep it for the interview, or do I send it (blank) to my fiancee in the US and she fills it out and sends it back to me?

Or does she gets a blank copy from the US Consulate in Montreal and then when she fills it out, she sends it to me??

I am confused about this one.

Thanks!

USC typically gets nothing from the consulate... get it to her to fill out and get back to you before the interview

US Citizen can always download one from USCIS too, file it out get it notarized, and send it and financial evidence to you for the interview.

One thing about I-134, the directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

In our case this what the I-134 included.

• I-134 signed and notarized.

• SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

• Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)

• Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.

• Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.

My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

If your income exceeds 125% or (100% for military) of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.

Hello,

Anyone please clear this, I am confused with question number 8. it says: 8. The following persons are dependent upon me for support: (Place an "x" in the appropriate column to indicate whether the person named is wholly or partially dependent upon you for support.)

Does my husband needs to put me or should he put None?

Thanks..

Hi guys

I have another question about the Affidavit of Support.

It's actually a weird one..

Lets say my girlfriend in the US (USC) goes to school and works only part time.

She does not make a lot money, just so much that's enough for her.

She still lives with her parents and that's where I would live (once I move to the States), at least until I find a good job.

So the place to stay at is not the problem.

So she fills out the Affidavit of Support, but does not include any of her financial information and bank statements.

But I have enough money to support myself for at least a year or more. I am talking about good sum of money.

So I bring all my bank and financial statements to the interview to prove that I can support myself once I move down there.

Would that be good enough to the US consular officer to approve my visa?

Hoping someone will come by and answer your question. If your fiance doesn't make 125% over the poverty line, then she's going to need a co-sponsor. I don't know what if any of your money can be used...probably not dollar for dollar. She can't just leave information blank, or not include it. Her parents are probably going to have to co-sponsor! And you cannot just bring your bank statements to the interview to make up the difference.

Did you read the guides about the Affadavit of Support and see what has to be done if she doesn't make enough money?
