Another I-134 question

[ryna 132]

I'm still waiting on my NOA2 but I am putting together the I-134 packets for my co-sponsor(s) but I am not working at the moment. (Yes, I know I can only have one co-sponsor, but I'm creating two distinct packets in case one is rejected on a technicality or something along those lines.)

For mine, as the primary sponsor, I know our household size is 2.

My co-sponsor will be one of my parents (or the other) but their finances are 100% co-mingled. Each has their own income well above the 125% threshold (for 2, 3, or 4), not to mention assets. My question is this:

Will the household size for the co-sponsor I-134 be 2 (my Mom or Dad and my fiancée) or 3 (Mom and Dad and fiancée)? Seems to me it should be 2 because the other is self-supporting and only shares an address (co-mingled finances notwithstanding.) In no case would I be included in the household count because we won't be living with them and I am self-supporting (off savings at the moment, but still self-supporting.) Is this correct?

Honestly, I just want to land something before her interview because I've already passed the 125% threshold (for 2) for 2010 in the time I did work earlier in the year and don't want the hassle of the co-sponsor stuff. The thought of even having to ask my parents to do this is pretty crazy to me..

One other semi-related note. I know I have to show proof of US citizenship for the co-sponsor (or residence, I can't remember and no matter). My parents traveled with me to Colombia on one of my trips to visit my fiancée and I'm thinking that showing that they've met her might help demonstrate that they aren't just making an empty promise on the I-134, given that it's not legally binding. I know it asks for passport data page for the co-sponsor, but would it be good to include copies of all pages to show that they've been to Colombia, too? It can't hurt, right?

Thanks

First of all, your is one since you are not supporting the fiance(e), your joint sponsor is supporting the fiance(e). So your I-134 household size is 1. But it does not matter since you do not write down the household size anywhere.

The joint sponsor would list 3 even though each parent could be self-supporting, they are two intermixed in terms of the tax filings to claim 2, not 3. So joint sponsor should list 3.

In addition to papers showing the financials are in order for the joint sponsor make sure you have a copy of their birth certificarte or green card copied front and back. To be a joint sponsor you must be a US Citizen, US National or LPR domiciled in the United States.

Good luck.
