PANIC over I-134!!!!!!

[Stephen n Stacie 0]

ok, so here I am single mom of three having come out of a terrible marriage of 13 years, only to find the most wonderful, caring, understanding (SEXY) man ever. I'm patiently waiting to become his wife. What scares me though is that I don't know that our government will accept me as a supporter for my fiance. Yes I have a job, but I do receive assistance from the state (I'm a single mom!) Does anyone know how this will affect our case? Has anyone been through a similar situation?

I don't know for sure, but I do think that will affect your ability to be the primary sponsor. Do you have anyone that would be willing to be co-sponsor?

We deal with such issues here frequently. Usually it helps to have some details. May I suggest you begin by studying the I-134 instructions and the form itself. Then compare your earnings to the 125% poverty guidelines for the appropriate household size. If you meet the standards, you're probably ok. If you don't, you would need a co-sponsor regardless of any assistance you receive from the State or otherwise. Court ordered child support may also be used as income on the I-134.

Can't you also use HIS financial situation? If he has a job offer, or has assets then don't they take those into account? I've got details of investments, savings and a valuation on my house from an estate agent just in case I need to show it.

Yes, thanks friend. I have sold a property in the UK and am planning on using this fnance as evidence to get us through both Affidavits...(Hopefully). At least through the K1 interview for now.

Research posts for the London consulate, including some of mine regarding the 'differences' between this consulate and others in regards to 'self support' of the beneficiary at interview.

For peace of mind sake, not all government aid is considered a means-tested benefit - also the US citizen is the one receiving the aid in this case, not the immigrant.
