K-3 interview and I-134: are tax returns required?

[cheep-cheep 0]

Our visa interview is scheduled for April 20. We're applying in Manila for a K-3, non-immigrant visa. My hubby's dad is our co-sponsor. He is using a I-134 affidavit of support.

Tax returns are not mentioned in the instructions for I-134. Will they be required in order to get the K-3 visa, or will we only need tax returns when we file a I-864 when we apply for adjustment of status?

If you are allready married , you dont file the I-134 Affidavit of Support . You need to file the I-864 Affidavit of Support instead , the I-134 Affidavit of support is only for if you are to be married to a non us citizen , or for other non family based visa . And the I-864 Affidavit of Support is for family based visa only .

The same rules apply for the I-134 Affidavit of Support and I-864 Affidavit of Support , so you should use both instruction on both . Cause soon You will be filling both of them .

If your married allready and you file the I-134 instead of the I-864 what your supposed to file . Your visa can be denied , the I-134 is for non family based visa only . And the I-864 is only to be used for family based visa , and k3 and k4 visa is a family based visa . When k1 or k2 visa is a non family based visa . And your wrong in your post it says your visa is an non-immigrant visa , your visa if its a k3 is an immigrant visa . K3 visa means allready married , but no childreen .

My husband co-sponsor (father-in-law) should sign I-864?

So what kind of affidavit should we do and what are the requirements?

Also what about this?

Alternatives.

One or more co-sponsors, or Joint-sponsors may be used to supplement a petitioner's lack of income or assets.

Affidavit form I-134 for K1 visa and K3 visa.

Form I-134, used for nonimmigrant visas (K1 fiancés and K3 spouse visas), until the person arrives in the U.S. and applies for change of status from non-immigrant to immigrant visa.

The I-134 Affidavit of Support is a Paper Tiger without legal support, and is "requested" at the time of the K1 visa, or K3 visa interviews. This is basically a "Fishing" document to see if the sponsoring petitioner has the ability to supply an I-864 Affidavit of Support for adjustment or change of status after the K visa beneficiary arrives in the U.S.

The form instructions cite their legal authority as "(8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(15),1184(a) and 1258)." This is NOT a valid legal authority as it is NOT promulgated as a Code of Federal Regulations.

While most U.S. Consulates request this affidavit, it is not required by law. However, at the U.S. Dept. of State admits, they "may" request. The point here is that whomever signs one, is NOT on any legal hook. A co-sponsor is usually accepted in addition to a petitioner's affidavit, if the petitioner cannot meet the poverty guideline level. Without the regulations, there can be no penalty - so says the U.S. Supreme Court. So, co-sponsors can rest.....

WRONG on so many levels

All "K" visas are NON-IMMIGRANT visas and use the I-134 .... I-864 is used for immigrant visas and greencard applications

A K-3 can HAVE children... that is why their is a K-4 visa...

Yes, the Embassy will(should) tell you what they require.

Ankara Embassy in Turkey requires tax returns. So it's always best to inquire to the embassy your going to what they want...
