Affidavit of Support help please

I have to disagree. Unemployment Compensation is a temporary source of Income. (no it's not Welfare.) But, Unemployment shows instability as Income. Agree?

I have seen in the past Members stating they were Approved on Unemployment Benefits but they also stated: They had OVER 3 times the Poverty Amount in Savings/Checking etc. The OP has $30,000.00 Not enough! Agree?

What the CO and USCIS will look for is that the relationship NOT become a public charge. I agree the OP needs a Sponsor but to say: Unemployment is a gift and you earned it is partially true but not in it's entirety with USCIS. It's not a job.

you are agreeing with yourself in this post and just confusing the OP. Unemployment is NOT a gift, and it can be used to prove income. It is not a means tested benefit

Thanks. Could she use IRS tax return transcripts instead of sending all the originals? Also could she send copies of all the doc she has send to IRS for her income tax? Please let me know if the IRS transcript is sufficient.

I am self employed, i sent copies of 1040, schedule C, and 1040X for 2011 (tax transcript not ready due to delay in processing ITIN). For 2010: Tax Transcript + Schedule C.

I dont understand this, but I am the beneficiary, my fiance is a business owner, does he still need to have an affidavit of support? pls advice what documents he needs if he is a business owner? Thank you.

Yes, all petitioners must fill out an I-134 to sponsor the beneficiary. He needs the same thing I told the original poster of this thread. His complete tax return with all forms, schedules, attachments, etc. or a tax return transcript from the IRS. They use line 22 of the 1040 to determine if he meets the 125% requirement. Check in the regional forum for the Philippines. They will be able to tell you exactly what is required for a self-employed person going through that consulate.

Your sponsor needs to fill out a separate form not the I-134. You fill that out then they fill something else out. Depending on whether you live with your co-sponsor or not you have a certain form to fill out. I would go to USCIS.gov to find out which form you need.

Ok now I am confused. I asked before and everyone told me that my co-sponsor need to fill out the I-134 form and now they have to fill out something else and I have to fill out something different? I am totally confused. Please carify?

don't be confused yes if your co-sponsor is not living with you then both of you needs to fill I-134 each, BUT basing here in my country if the co-sponsor is a relative and lives together, i mean the primary sponsor and the co-sponsor lives in one house then they need to fill out/up the forms i-1864 and i-1864a, the i-1864 is for the primary sponsor and i-1864a is for the co-sponsor, i just don't know if it is applied in your country too

Don't be confused. I told you correctly before. You need to fill out an I-134 and your co-sponsor also needs to fill out their own I-134. For a K-1, most consulates use the I-134, period. The documents and forms required for the K-1 interview vary depending on the consulate. It is important to know exactly what your own consulate asks for. You should have been given instructions from your consulate that lists what is required for the K-1 interview there. Follow exactly what your consulate asks for.

Please do not confuse the situation. The petitioner(primary sponsor) and the co-sponsor each fill out an I-134 for the K-1 visa.

Thank you so much. You have been very helpful. I think now I know what forms to use. As for as receiving instruction from the embassy, I have not gotten anything from the ebassy. Waiting sucks, realy sucks,

I don't know what is going on? My petition has been forwarded about a month ago to the embassy, but my fiancee or I have not heard anything. I emailed the embassy 3 weeks ago, after one week they replied back saying... my fiancee should have received a package of instruction from the NVC. I called the NVC and they told me that they have nothing to do with K1 visas. Anything we will be getting is from the embassy. I emailed back the embassy explaing what the NVC told me. IT has been a week and half and no reply back. I resent my second email twice now. I do't know what is going on. I hope someone will help me. I am going to post this message on the South Asia froum and hoping someone from that area will be willing to answer and add their experience with that particular embassy. God bless you all for helping me.
