i-134 question

[ZedbraGuy 6]

Bit of an odd question really but if you have a sole sponsor with a shortfall in income, being made up by the benificiary.

How many i-134's do we need. Does the benificiary need to fill one in if they are providing money for the financial assessment?

The beneficiaries income can't be used unless it comes from a US source and will continue after the visa is granted.

Have you thought of self sponsoring?

This is what this is for, she doesn't earn enough but I'm bringing a big chunk of savings to make up the difference. But she says there's nowhere on the i-134 to state this. So what do we do?

[Boiler 46,141]

Complete one yourself. Sounds like you have no need for her to sponsor you, different when you adjust.

London allows it if it's a chunk of cash or liquid assets. You don't even have to fill out an I-134 for London, but it's easier than a do-it-yourself affidavit by the sponsor

I don't think the I-134 is appropriate for the beneficiary to fill out and sign. Just show them the money and they decide if the applicant has personal funds sufficient to provide support until suitable employment is located.

Here's what they say to do:

Applicants Own Funds

An applicant who expects to be able to meet the public charge provisions of the law through personal financial resources may submit to the consular officer evidence of funds or income from one or more of the following sources:

•bank statement showing present balance of applicant's account, date account was opened, the number and amount of deposits and withdrawals during the past 12 months, and the average balance during the year. If there have been recent unusually large deposits, an explanation thereof should be given;

•proof of ownership of property or real estate, in the form of a title deed or the equivalent and a letter from a lawyer, or real estate agent showing its present valuation (any mortgages or loans against the property must be stated);

•letter or letters verifying ownership of stocks and bonds, with present market value or expected earnings indicated;

•statement from insurance company showing policies held and present case surrender value;

•proof of income from business investments or other sources.

If the financial resources are derived from a source outside the United States, a statement as to how the funds or income are to be transferred to the U.S. must be provided.

I took all those, sore shoulder carrying everything. On the way I stopped at the cash till to print of a current balance, that was all he looked at.
