form 134 and my fiance has no work

[michelle425 0]

hi!

I am new here.. I would like to ask for your help guys.. Me and my fiance are totally lost..;(

1. Is it really ok to write "NA" on no. 11. of form I-134 which is about " I intend/not intend to make specific contributions to support the person on item no. 3.

Coz I read somewhere that answering "NA" should be avoided..

2. My fiance who is petitioning me has no job for some months already as well as we have no savings. But, his dad is co-sponsoring. Is it going to be a problem?

3. How should his dad fill up form I-134 no. 11. of form I-134 which is about " I intend/not intend to make specific contributions to support the person on item no. 3.? Is it also "NA"?

4. Lastly, the only money that we have is his family's gift intended as a wedding gift.. It was deposited in his account just last week, is it advisable to present his bank record? We're bothered that the Embassy might regard it as a "payment" sort of marriage of convenience.. It's really not.. but they might interpret it that way though the money came from his own family to give us a good start.

I am really thankful for this site and would appreciate any help/advice that you could give.. My interview for the Embassy is on March 25.. I'm nervous! Is it really complicated??

- Well, if he is to petition to bring you to the US, he WILL have to provide for you some how, thus he has to make some contribution. For example, housing and food.

2. My fiance who is petitioning me has no job for some months already as well as we have no savings. But, his dad is co-sponsoring. Is it going to be a problem?

- They will require the previous three tax years in succession. Again, he has to prove that he can support you financially. The USA doesnt want to support you when you first arrive, they see it as a burden on the taxpayers. So him not having a job is not a good thing, unless he can prove to have a lot of money saved up. This is a big issue for the CO. I believe to support some one, they will refer to the poverty guideline, which you must exceed 125% and for a family of 2 (the two of you), it is somehwere in the $20,000 range. It depends on the consulate. i have heard some where that they do allow co-sponsor, but it is at their own decision (case by case). The co-sponsor will need to provide all the information that the sponsor provides. You will need to explain why he is not working....remember, the two of you will have to be able to survive financially (love does not provide food). Google for 2009 poverty guideline and if you have questions, ask.

3. How should his dad fill up form I-134 no. 11. of form I-134 which is about " I intend/not intend to make specific contributions to support the person on item no. 3.? Is it also "NA"?

- if he intends to be a co-sponsor, how will he help you? financially? or food and a place to live?

4. Lastly, the only money that we have is his family's gift intended as a wedding gift.. It was deposited in his account just last week, is it advisable to present his bank record? We're bothered that the Embassy might regard it as a "payment" sort of marriage of convenience.. It's really not.. but they might interpret it that way though the money came from his own family to give us a good start.

- if it can be shown that it was his father to him, i dont think it will be a problem. What i see as a problem is his ability to prove he can provide for you when you arrive and that the two of you won't live out on the street or own goverment money.

My interview for the Embassy is on March 25.. I'm nervous! Is it really complicated??

- it can get complicated if you dont provide the necessary information. Also, make sure you understand all the things that was written in the papers that your fiance submitted. Your stories must match up 100%.

1. Correct answer: NA, K-1 fiancee visa

2. You have a co-sponsor, should be no problem but can depend on consulate

3. Same as above

4. If you have a co-sponsor, the amount in the bank is irrelevent. You do not need to give any bank statements

Unless it has changed since we did our paperwork, you have to submit your bank statements, if you have an account. I am sure that was one of the required paper for the affidavit of support? Again, that will help show that you can support this person and that is one of the key deciding factor. They have to see that your relationship with this person is real and that the two of you can survive (think financial...).

The example forms are a good reference. The answer should be 'no'. the only time i've seen this as a problem is with one CO in London who seemed to think the answer should be different. I have no idea if that is still the case.

You do not need to supply bank statements unless you are using assets to meet the minimum requirements. You do, however, need to supply all of the same documentation your co-sponsor will regardless of whether or not you meet the req.

OP, welcome to VJ. Have a look at the PI regional forums here...you will find invaluable information to help you thoughout the process.

I do know that Manilla likes to see family as co-sponsors and not just friends. They want to be certain the co sponsor has a vested interest in your relationship.

thanks to all of you!!

You do not need to supply bank statements unless you are using assets to meet the minimum requirements.

Does that mean I leave the questions about savings, life insurance, etc. on the I-134 blank or put 0?

No, you can put them in if you wish.

I did, for the life insurance and the house I own (partly, bank owes most of it )

I am not going to put them on there because I don't want to go through the hassle of finding the paperwork that goes with my life insurance, or worrying about how much I have in my savings at the time of the interview, etc. I have already decided not to put them in there. My question is do I leave the fields blank or put 0?

[Bobby+Umit 161]

leave blank.
