Looks fine to me. And yes, you use the I-134, not the I-864, no need to get it notarized.

Am sure the other members will have a look at your list and may have some things to add or concur that it all looks good.

Bring home the pink Let us know how it went.

You do not have to notarize anything.

I would suggest that you write a letter to the consul officer summarizing your financial case so that the consul officer does not overlook anything.

Pre-screeners and consul officers don't always notice the things you want them to notice. It may be necessary for your fiancée to make your financial case to the consul officer. So, I would suggest that you familiarize your fiancée with your strategy for making your financial case at the interview. For example, if the consul officer (or the pre-screener) only looks at your 2009 income tax return, she will need to point out that your current sustained income is on track to easily surpass the minimum requirement. She will have your paystubs as proof. She also needs to realize the reason behind, and the importance of, using a cosponsor in your case. She needs to make sure the documents from your cosponsor get into the consul officer's hands.

I would also suggest that, in addition to your cosponsor's I-134, you also submit an I-864 from your cosponsor. My friend's fiancée did just that in Manila and it was accepted. She received her K-1 fiancée visa despite his low income. The reasoning behind submitting the I-864 is that it shows the consul officer that the beneficiary will have a cosponsor when it comes time to adjust status. More importantly, it helps to ensure that the beneficiary won't become a public charge in the U.S. The I-864 is a somewhat more legally binding document than the I-134.

That's my two cents worth.

Best wishes for a successful interview and a speedy visa!

The I-134 needs to be notarized but the I-864 does not.If you check it the I-134 has a place for the notary to sign. The I-864 does not. That's a clue in itself.

There are some applicants who got away without it getting notarized so it really depends on you.

You are looking at an outdated copy of the I-134. The current I-134 does not need to be notarized. As a matter of fact, there is no place on the current I-134 for notarization. My link.

Ok thank you all.,ill get the I864 just in case.,.hoping i have everything,

[Veronik 19]

You might want to double check with someone that actually is from the Philipines, but I know that I needed his tax transcripts for the last 3 years. A tax transcript needs to be ordered with the IRS, it's not the receipt you get when you file online. I also had his W2s.

I did not get anything notarized, and I made copies of everything. I handed the copies and said that if they wanted to look at the originals that I had them...

Hope this helps!

does anyone know if i can attend this interview? can i go in as the us citizen petitioner? ill be there but will they allow me to attend with my fiance?

[Veronik 19]

Any U.S. citizen should be allowed in their own embassy I would think... Unless specified otherwise in your P4 letter...

It's my understanding that nearly all K-1 petitioners in Manila are allowed into the final interview room with their beneficiary.

In my opinion, you should attend the interview. Since your case is not straightforward, I believe it's important for you to explain your financial situation to the consul officer yourself, if need be. It certainly helped another VJ member recently. I think his name is bmagno.

Good luck!

Will I need to include a copy of my co-sponsor's birth certificate to prove they are a US citizen? I saw the above post about the certificate of naturalization and it made me think. Is a photocopy ok or does it have to be an official copy?

Do you have to write a letter stating your relationship with the co-sponsor and sign it, or do both parties have to sign it?

I don't even think I need a co-sponsor I'm just paranoid.
