Help on the i-134 form

[blondie2713 0]

So i have recently married religiously in Mexico and have filed for teh fiance visa. We have not heard yet whether we are approved but I wanted to know how do I fill out the form I-134 to show support if I live in Mexico with my fiance? Does that work or am I somehow disqualified? I am worried now that I know that we need it and I need to make a certain amount of money. I am 23 and female, so how much do I have to make to make it? I made around 25,000 the last year I was in the US, but since oct 2007 I have been in Mexico and working? Thanks for all your help.

If you are married in the eyes of Mexican law, then the K-1 isn't appropriate. SOMEONE, if not you, needs to provide evidence that the two of you can be self-supporting when in the U.S. I take it that you currently have no regular income, is that right? Can you find a co-sponsor?

Sorry I didnt make myself clear, but we are only married in the church which is not recognized by the US or Mexico as legal. I am an English teacher and make a very good wage for Mexico, and my parents have given us a property to live, and it is being transferred to my name but I currently havent worked in the US for almost a year and dont plan on returning until I am with my fiance.

I was also teaching English in Mexico while living there with my husband. To make life easier, I ended up asking my parents to joint sponsor. Here are the poverty guidelines. According to that document, you would need prove that you are making $17,500 US to support both of you. Most of this they base on tax info, so if you've filed taxes in previous years and made more than this, it will help your case, but I still had trouble (I got an RFE asking for proof of my current employment despite submitting thorough tax and W2 info) and I had a joint sponsor covering my husband!

I'm not sure how the property comes into play, but I honestly think it's easier having a solid joint sponsor, rather than fighting to prove you can come up with the income yourself.

I wish I could be of more help...
