When im filling out the I134 i have questions as to what i put in a couple places,

first one is its asking for persons who depend on me.

do i just put my son there or the fiance and her daughter also.

second one is .it says i have previously submitted affadavit of support for the following person(s).

do i fill that out if i have never submitted one before?

and last part it says i have submitted a visa petition for the following person(s).

do i just list my fiance there or list her and her daughter? and if i list her daughter what would i put for relationship?

and yes i have read the guides and please dont tell me to read them cause they

dont always explain what to add and where.

one more thing where it asks if i intend to make contributions,what do i put there?

thanks for any help and information.

#8 depends on you is your dependant... see your 2008 tax filing to see if you claim any beside you... if you have a son and provide support/ he is dependant upon you to some degree.

her daughter is not a dependant.. yet.

if no previous .. say none.

#3 petition is for her... accompanying her is her daughter.. second section of item 3 it does not ask about her relationship...

Check out the Example forms too (not a guide) Sometimes they can make you feel better about what you think should go on a line.

I made several mistakes in that post. I said I-130 instead of I-134 (twice!). I said assets had to be 5X the shortfall in income, when it's 3X when you're sponsoring a spouse. However, the figure I quoted for the 125% poverty level for a household size of 4 was correct and current for 2009. It's $27,562. The 2009 guidelines are still what's posted on the USCIS website.

Did you find different numbers somewhere else?

$22,050 is 100% of the poverty guidelines. You need 125%, which is the second column. The only people who get to use the 100% threshold are active duty military personnel.

Nobody can really guess what's going to happen. It depends on the consular officer. The only thing specifically mentioned on the Manila embassy website that must be submitted with the I-134 is a copy of last year's tax return. They don't mention anything about pay stubs or letters of employment. However, when they send the final letter out to the beneficiary they can ask for virtually anything they want to ask for. It's common for them to ask for a letter from your employer confirming that you are employed and what your pay rate is, and copies of recent pay stubs.

Your situation is 'iffy' because if they ask for recent pay stubs then you won't be able to demonstrate on annual income that is high enough. People here have reported that the CO's in Manila are reluctant to accept co-sponsors.

Honestly, you're still months away from needing any of this stuff. Is there a chance you'll be off workman's comp by then, and be back to work?
