I-134 Cosponsor

[brightskte 18]

I posted this in the Canada forum, but no one really knew about the questions I was asking. So, I'm gonna repost it here and see if anyone can help me.

Keep in mind that I'm about 1000% certain that I'm overthinking this whole thing. It's what I do. I worry so much about not ticking the right boxes and putting the right thing on the lines that I'm driving myself crazy.

Anyway, here's my situation. I barely missed the poverty line for being able to not use a co-sponsor. But regardless I would have used one anyway, just in case. I feel that even if I had made it that it would have been such a close call I may have had problems. My mother, on the other hand makes more than enough to be my cosponsor so I'll be using her.

Question 3 asks who the affidavit is executed for. I'm completely torn. I want to say that it would be me since she's doing this for me, but then I also want to say Mathew since she's co-sponsoring him. Also, part 5 says that she's willing and able to receive, maintain and support the person listed on question 3 so that makes me think it's Mathew again because she wouldn't be supporting me, it's him. So which is it??? I did get an answer on the Canada forum for this that says Mathew should be listed(and that completely makes sense to me), but I need reassurance because I'm such a worry-freak.

And then there's question 10("I have submitted a visa petition to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of the following person"). Do I leave this blank or put Mathew's name there. Again, I want to say to put None because SHE hasn't submitted for anyone, I have.

Last but not least, question 11. I left mine unchecked and wrote just like in the example forms that it's N/A(k-1 visa process for permanent residence), but for hers should I put N/A( Co-sponsor for K-1 visa process)??? I read earlier tonight that there's been some problems with doing it like in the example forms so I think I'll refill the form out once I get back to work and check intend for mine, but what would I put for hers?

I think I basically just need reassurance on this. I'm leaning in one way but I'm so worried that it'll be wrong that I'm driving myself insane. I spent all day at work googling every combination I could think of and searching the forums but I came up empty handed about it.

Thanks so much for reading this awful mess, and try not to laugh too hard since I'm sure the answers are really, really simple.

Bumparoooooo.

Come on guys, I really need some help here. I'm leaving for Canada on Saturday, but I only have tonight and tomorrow night to finish this paperwork. I could really use the help here.

I'm taking your post and turning it around.

When you say you were 'barely off' - how much?

[brightskte 18]

$150.

We had an awful snow storm at the last of the year and that knocked me out of at least $500 worth of pay because I literally could not get out of where I live. Stupid mountains.

Only $150?

Do you have any money saved?

If you have less than $1000 in the bank, you meet the 125% threshold.

I have absolutely no savings at all. I had about $1200 saved up, but then I had to buy the plane ticket to go up there for the interview and the rest went towards the wedding.

Even if I did I probably couldn't get the documents in time anyway(from the bank). I leave for Lexington Friday and I fly out to Montreal on Saturday.

My mom makes about $50,000 a year so I know that she'd have no problem being his cosponsor. It's only me and her in the house, so she has no other dependents.

Question 3 asks who the affidavit is executed for.

Your mom will be co-sponsoring, meaning she's also sponsoring your fiance, so the answer is him. She's not saying she'll support you, she's saying she'll support him.

And then there's question 10("I have submitted a visa petition to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of the following person"). Do I leave this blank or put Mathew's name there. Again, I want to say to put None because SHE hasn't submitted for anyone, I have.

Yep, she'll be listing him on question 3 but she hasn't petitioned for him so NONE would be correct.

Last but not least, question 11. I left mine unchecked and wrote just like in the example forms that it's N/A(k-1 visa process for permanent residence), but for hers should I put N/A( Co-sponsor for K-1 visa process)??? I read earlier tonight that there's been some problems with doing it like in the example forms so I think I'll refill the form out once I get back to work and check intend for mine, but what would I put for hers?

Back when I did it I wrote exactly as in the example forms and had no problems with it, who said they had problems with saying N/A and saying it was for a K1? We also had my hubby's father co-sponsoring me and we wrote the same thing for both his and his father's I-134.

Well then, when answering the questions on the I134, remember you are answering them from your Mother's perspective. That should clear up your confusion.

It was on a different thread. I read it the day I posted this thread. I mean, I can't see it being a problem if I left it unticked. But some consulates are real big meanies. Maybe if Canada was a hard consulate it would be a problem, but for this I don't think it would be. I could be wrong, but then I could be right.

Thanks so much you guys. I was about to drive myself insane. I just really, really want this to go well and to be able to have my honeybunnybabybunny forever and ever. And yes, I call him that in public.
