Questions on Affidavit of Support Form I-134

[David Allen 3]

Question 8 states: The following persons are dependent upon me for suppot: (Check the box in the appropriate column to indicate whether the person named is wholly or partially dependent upon you for support)

Am I correct in thinking that this line is NOT intended for my fiancee and her daughter - but if I was paying spousal or child support to another party??

Question 11 asks if: I do - or do NOT intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person(s) named in item 3. (My Fiancee and her daughter).

Since I am intending us to marry until death us do part - is it correct to answer that I do not intend to make specific contributions as room/board and allowence of some sort??

This is just a tad confusing.

On a side note - The US Embassy in Bangkok had sent out our interview appointment which went out Dec. 29th 2008. The Interview was scheduled for January 9th. Due to all the Holidays and increased mail - our appointment request didn't arrive until January 8th. Not exactly sufficient notice to get the medical exams and Packet 4 material together. What were they thinking?? Thankfully I had sent them an email beforehand requesting a status update since they hadn't yet responded to our packet 3 submittal and they had informed me by email that the scheduled date was the 9th. It was still not enough time to get everything together - but at least it gave us enough time to tell them we wouldn't be able to make the appointment and to ask them to reschedule. From what I had seen of other people's cases it looked like they gave more time between packet 3 and 4. Has anyone else ran into this lately?? Just a heads up for those who might be working through the BKK Embassy.
