I-134 Important Question

[vs2011 3]

I am a full time student and am filling out the affidavit of support Form I-134. On my form I have put down that I am a student and make no money. Towards the bottom where it asks if I intend to make any contributions to my fiance, at this point in time I cannot but upon graduating I do intend to. What should I put down?

Also, since I don't make any money I am getting my father to fill out his own I-134 so he can be a joint-sponsor with me for my fiance. On his form, I am listed as a full-time dependent and I am attaching 3 years of his 1040 tax returns which show I am a dependent. Since he is self-employed, I am getting him to write a letter from his company letterhead stating that he is self-employed in his business for X amount of years and that I am his son and he is the joint-sponsor with me for my fiance.

In filling out my dad's I-134 for the income, savings, stocks & bonds, life insurance, etc - do I need to fill all of that out since I am providing 3 years worth of his 1040 tax returns? Can I just write in "See attached 1040 tax returns" in the blank? Will that suffice?

Any other tips/advice? Thanks!

If a sponsor's income meets the requirement then the asset and bank information is not needed.

For a self employed sponsor, the income amount used is the amount shown on line 22 of the sponsor's most recent form 1040 tax return.

Thanks! What about the bottom of the form where it asks if I intend to make any contributions to my fiance, at this point in time I cannot but upon graduating I do intend to. What should I put down?

No, see the Example Forms.....you don't put anything down on that line.

Remember that many of these forms are used for other types of visas and that line is needed for those but not for the K-1.

And if your father's income is sufficient, for the new household size, then you don't need to list other assets, etc. I have sufficient and I didn't write anything for those since my income took care of all.
