Co sponsor included with initial petition?

[jennifernhoussine 0]

I am starting to gather information to file the initial I-129F petition for the K1 visa (my fiance is in Morocco). I do not meet the income requirement on my own, so I have a co sponsor.

Do I need to include any of the co sponsor's information with the initial I-129F petition? OR Do we wait until the I-134 is requested to give the co sponsor's information?

I am wanting to give the co sponsor and idea of when we will need their documentation (like now before filing the I-129F or months from now when the I-134 is being reviewed).

Thanks so much!

Wait until you submit the I-134.

Two things, I-134 is NEVER filed with I-129F when initially filing for a K-Visa, it is always brought to visa interview.

Secondly, Casablanca does not use or require the I-134, but is a good idea to have one handy at the interview just in case.

**Although instructions in packet 3 do not request an I-134 affidavit of support, it would be a good idea to have one ready just in case as an interviewer may choose not to grant the visa unless that form has been provided at the interview.**

Thanks YuandDan. I have a followup questions....

If Casablanca does not require the I-134, then how do they know whether or not I meet the income requirement?

In the case of a K-1 visa you have 90 days to marry or leave. The I-864 filed for adjustment of status handles this. Keep in mind the I-134 is considered to be non-binding so the consulate simply waives it. They use it if they feel that the intending immigrant WILL become a charge of the state, they can stall and demand evidence that the intending immigrant wont become a charge of the state.
