Co Sponsor Question

[Sara and Alex 1]

Hi Guys,

just wondering if my fiance needs to send in the I-134 with all his forms to the embassy with our co-sponsors pay stubs, bank letter, birth certificate, etc or just the I-134 and take the proof to the interview or what?

thanks in advance

hi guys..

you don't send the I-134 papers to the embassy!

Neither yours (you have to fill one out too) nor the co sponsor one.

Your fiance takes those papers + all the evidence (pay stubs et) to the embassy.

good luck

Ok, thanks. Just wasnt clear. So he just needs to follow whats on the checklist thing from the Embassy right?

The affidavit and evidence should always be kept together. You never submit one without the other.

The petitioner usually gives the affidavit and supporting evidence to the beneficiary to be taken to the consulate and submitted at the interview. Same goes for the co-sponsors affidavit and evidence. The petitioner and/or co-sponsor may send the affidavit and evidence directly to the consulate, if they wish. The most common reason for wanting to do this would be if the petitioner and/or co-sponsor did not want the beneficiary (or anyone else) having access to their personal financial information.

True. I would add that in most cases, for the petitioner to do this would be a bad idea as it becomes a big red flag with regard to a bona fide relationship. It can be dealt with but it's a flag.
