K1 Visa (packet compilation prior to interview)

[Gary_UK 17]

Hi everyone.

Just got back from my final visit to the US prior to the (hopefully) final legs of the K1 application process.

I am the beneficiary (UK Citizen) My fiancee being the petitioner. I am currently putting together and tripple checking the DS-230, DS 156, DS 156k and DS 157. I have new full copies of my birth certificate, Police record check and so on. And plan to use our wedding invitation as well as copies of the payments for the wedding venue as proof of our engagement.

I have been suggested that copies of the police docs, birth cert have a hand written " Certification " that they are copies of untampered originals and may be requested at a future time. (or something to that effect) and not send the original copies as they will be needed for my interview when it is scheduled.

I have my medical booked for two weeks time and plan to ship the paperwork off to the US Embassy in London by Monday at the latest then the IV-15 a day later to say that I am ready for Interview.

My question to you all is this. As "paper paranoia" is setting in ( I am at work at the moment mulling over all of this ) But recall from memory that one of the above mentioned papers asks for "proof of financial support" or something similar.

My financee earns just above the 125% base line above poverty and after talking with her this afternoon and aranging to have a full copy of the i129F to be sent to me (in scanned electronic format) which she submitted to the USCIS the "financial support" question popped up.

She does not recall including any financial information in the i129F !!!!!

Is this right ? (she is under a lot of stress at the moment due to her sitting her finals this week). Should I hold back sumbitting my paperwork and putting HER financial information into MY Packet being submitted to the US Embassy ?

I am sitting on nearly completed forms about to be sent but im worried that I am missing critical information as part of the application. I plan to leave the UK in early october and the possibility of having an RFE at this late stage is filling me with dread.

Any assistance you guys can offer I would be VERY grateful.

What you are talking about is the I-134 which should have been filled and sent to you by her after the NOA 2 is received. Check your papers for this form and if you don't have it ask her to send it to you ASAP.

Hope this helped. Maybe someone who knows more than me can shed more light in the matter.

PEACE.........

Indeed, no financial information is needed when you file the I-129F Petition. Now, for the interview they are going to ask you for that. The Petitioner must earn above 125% poverty line. The petitioner will fill out an Affidavit of Support (form I-134) on behalf of the beneficiary, and then send it to you (the beneficiary). If the Petitioner doesn't make 125% above poverty line, they can use a co-sponsor (a parent, a sister etc) or you (the beneficiary) can be the sponsor, if you meet the requirements. Read the guides, there's even a sample of the form I-134 to help you out. Good luck!

Yes you will need the I-134 for the interview. If you use the form here on VJ it doesn't have to be notarized. As an addition to the form you need to present supporting evidence of the info in the Affidavit such as:

- tax returns

- W2's

- recent paystubs

- employer letter

I would suggest if you read the guides again. Here is a link that will help you
