I-134 Co-sponsor question

[Adrian+Mike 2]

Hi guys,

For various reasons we've had to get my finance's mother to Co-sponsor for us, however for question 11 - I intend/Do not intend to make specific contributions to support the person(s) named in item 3 - we're unsure whether we should get them to tick the intend, or do not intend box. My US finance is ticking the intend box, and writing N/A (K1 visa process for permanent residence) underneath as the guide shows - does the Co-sponsor need to do exactly the same even though they won't be directly financially aiding me (unless of course my soon to be wife loses her job etc).

Has anyone else who've gone through this route using the embassy in London had a similar situation?

Thanks

Just as a follow up question as I can't edit, On question 8 for the co-sponsor would they be required to put down that they support anyone in their household, i.e husband. Her parents both work, no kids left at home, just the "dependant" part threw me as I would imagine that would be for younger kids/under 18's etc.

This is something I've recently come to actually. With question 11 I was thinking that the co-sponsor would check yes, and write something like "I plan to financially support the beneficiary of this fiance visa should this assistance be required in order to prevent her from becoming a public charge." where as I'd write that I plan to support her indefinitely and marry her within 90 days of her entering the country on the K-1.

I think the "Dependent" is if there's any one that the co-sponsor claims as a dependent on their taxes. I'm not 100% sure if that's correct though, but does make sense. Hope this helps some.

Thanks for your help, it helps a little for the question 11, the question 8 has us baffled a bit, since my mom (not my mom and dad) is sponsoring us, my father and her file their taxes jointly, my brothers and I are all over 18 there for not dependents, and my father is not one either, thus we are confused on whether he has to be put as a dependent (cause he lives in the household and is included in the 125% above poverty)

Any help is really appreciated guys, really pulling our hair out over this one

Does your mother meet the 125% for a household of 4? If she does then it wouldn't matter. Though I suspect if she did you wouldn't be asking.

im not quiet sure what your referring to? yes my mother meets the 125% but for three people not four, the questions we are having issues with have nothing to do with whether she meets the requirements,

The exampleI-134might help some too. Though, now I'm wondering if the Date Submitted in question 10 is the date it was mailed, or the date on the NOA1 of it being received?

[Adrian+Mike 2]

im not quiet sure what your referring to? yes my mother more then exceeds the 125% above poverty line, the questions we are having issues with have nothing to do with whether she meets that requirement, we were asking whether my father gets put as a dependent (of my mother) even though he works and they file taxes jointly.

Sorry about the confusion, I can be exceptionally dense on occasion. I misread your first post and missed that you're using the guide.

I missed the fact that he works some how. That would make me think that he would not be a dependent of your mother.

Yeah we just arent sure accoring to

http://www.***removed***/visas/visitor/i134.html

"Write the names of dependents that you include in your income tax

returns. These will usually be your spouse and minor children. If your

spouse is not working you can check 'wholly dependant'. If your spouse

is working you can check 'partially dependent'."

It also says that she should also write N/A ( K1 visa process for

permanent residence ) as you did on your I-134 for question 11. As for

the tick box I think she should just tick intend.

see to me my father is not a dependent (over 18) but with this visa stuff everything seems to be backwards from normal thought process, and no one seems to be going through the same situation,

"Write the names of dependents that you include in your income tax returns. These will usually be your spouse and minor children. If your spouse is not working you can check 'wholly dependent'. If your spouse is working you can check 'partially dependent'."

I just spoke with my mother, she said she's never listed my father as a dependent. So this might be something that's a matter of opinion as to if some one claims their spouse as a dependent. It also says "can" not "must." My thoughts would be to not list any dependents, especially if she doesn't list any on her income tax returns. Hopefully I've made more sense today.

We're sending Packet 3 back to London tomorrow. I wrote N/A (K1 visa process for permanent residence) for both myself and my cosponsor. I've done a little research and it sounds like it should be fine.

thanks everyone i sent out all of the paperwork last week, we did as you said and wrote the na k1 visa process for permanent residence for both mine and my moms paperwork, also we put that my dad was partially dependant, not sure but thats what we found would be the best, sometimes these paperwork just are as confusing as a rubix cube, so many different answers and ways to do it, and not everyone is in the same situation, now its just sit and wait for the interview
