I-134 Affidavit of Support form

[adrianandlinsay 0]

Hey guys,

I am just looking for some advice.

Okay, so now i have my K1 interview, in London, on Jan 23rd and just checking if everything is in place.

I think I pretty much have everything.... and then I start seeing lots of things about I-134 Affidavit of Support forms.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere, before we even started the process, that you didnt need on for a K1 application - Or not till the AOS anyway.

But I keep reading that my fiancee needs to fill one out for my intereview.

So I am just asking if she needs to get one to me or not?

We have never had any documentation or correspondence that even mentions this form....

Why is this process so unclear and fuzzy

Cheers,

Adrian

You need the I-134 for the K1 interview. It is the I-864 that is not needed until AOS.

Hi there,

Thanks for the info. Can I just clarify:

Is it just my fiancee that needs to fill in the I-134. Not me?

The USC fills out the I-134.

Yes, Your US Fiancee will need to fill this form out. It's a fairly simple form and definately much easier to complete than I-864 that you will need for AOS. This from is designed to show you are not going to become a "public charge".

Good Luck on the Interview, and also wish me luck

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% 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.

It's all in the GUIDES....

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is notarized (by a US Notary Public), with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Examples: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

I highly suggest looking at the London Embassy's website to get a better idea of what is required from you at the interview.

The I-134 info is listed here:
