Confused, help please?

Hello Everyone,

My fiance and I are currently working on everything we need to send in with packet 3, basically his part of the work is done (medical, police certificates, etc.), so now all we need is my Affidavit of Support. The problem is that I am currently a law student and have had no income for the past two years. I already have a co-sponsor who makes well over the poverty line, but I'm very confused as to what exactly I need to do in terms of the I-134.

First, I'm confused as to whether both myself and my co-sponsor each have to fill out the form and get all the documents required?

Also, some people say that my co-sponsor would need to file tax returns (I've heard some say of the past 10 years, past 3, past 1, etc..) but on the instructions sheet, it does not say this is a requirement unless you are self-employed (which he is not).

Can someone clarify all the things I should do? I sooo do not want to get RFE'd! Any help would be appreciated!! Thank you!

You both fill out the I-134. You both provide pay slips, tax returns and W2's from the past three years (or tax transcripts) and letters of employment if applicable.

You both need to fill out your own version of the I-134.

Since you are a student and presumably not working, you only need to provide the I-134.

The joint sponsor should fill out the I-134, provide documentation of current pay such as pay stubs, letter of employment is nice but not necessary and should provide three years of tax transcripts or tax forms (with W-2s if tax forms and not transcripts).

IMPORTANT: Make sure the joint sponsor is eligible, he/she must be a US Citizen, US National or LPR. Make sure you submit the proper documentation which would be the joint sponsor's copy of birth certificate or copies front and back of green card.

Good luck.

EDITED to add: The joint sponsor must also be domiciled in the Ubnited States.

Thank you so much, now I understand!

One more thing, does any of this, including the employment letter have to be notarized? Considering it is on a company letterhead?

WAIT??? Now I'm confused I thought it was ONLY the usc that fills out teh I-134 affidavit of support, wouldn't it not make sense for the K1 beneficiary to fill it out? I'm confused.....

Nevermind...just saw *both* means co-sponsor
