Even if you have a joint sponsor [co-sponsor] you use I-134? and how this work? the petitioner and the co-sponsor fill separate forms? Thanks

Yes, Max I believe that is correct. Each sponsor does a separat I-134.

What if the petitioner is illegible to sponsor and this is why we needed a co sponsor... the petitioner still have to fill a separate I-134 form???????? plz help!!

Yes, either one affidavit from the petitioner or one each from petitioner and co-sponsor. This applies to I-864 as well unless both live in the same household. Then the joint sponsor files an I-864a.

What if the petitioner is currently outside the US and unemployed?!! still have to fill a separate i134 form with the co-sponsor?!!

Yes. No matter what is the employment status your main sponsor will always be the petitioner and the only reason you would have a co-sponsor is simply because the sponsor/petitioner does not meet the required financial guidelines... But both the petitioner/sponsor and co-sponsor have to fill out both the I-134 and the I-1864 forms ( one for each person and both have to show their income tax return and all the other requirements)...

Yes. DianaP is right. NO matter what your employment status is, you still have to file for a notarized I-134. Your co-sponsor has to accomplish a separate I-134 form. This is for the K3 interview. FOr the IR1 and AOS, you have to accomplish an I-1864, and an I-1864a for your sponsor.

If you live outside the US, you need to prove that you are domiciled in the US.

Have someone get them for you or go back and get them. Depending on which documents, you may be able to secure replacements, mailed to a friend or family member and then forwarded to you.

Thanks for the input, but who can be called a joint-sponsor.... does he/she have to be first-class related to the petitioner, a friend or he/she could be anyone?!

"Could" be anyone but best if it's somebody with a real interest in the couple. A long time friend is considered a better choice than an elderly grandparent who might not live as long as the sponsorship is valid.
