I-134 not salaried

[Sam and Ani 2]

Hi all

In preparation for our impending K-1 interview and need to submit an I-134 at the London Embassy, I thought I would do a little research.

My fiancée is still a university student and will be at the time of the interview. She does work part-time as a server in a restaurant, however is not salaried but paid hourly. It is unlikely that she will meet the 125% threshold which is by-the-by, as her mother is willing to co-sponsor and easily meets the requirements. Still, my fiancée has to file an I-134. Does anybody have any idea as to what her employer must state with regard to earnings on the letter? Will tax returns for her also suffice as opposed to pay stubs as she earns tips and declares these annually.

Also, her mother has filed a few Affidavits in the past, all which have matured and expired as those she sponsored have all naturalized to US citizens. Do these still need to be recorded on the form, and how stringent are they with the dates of previous Affidavit filing?

Thank you for all your help.

Hmm if it's just part time work and paid hourly, then I would suggest for her employer to state on the letter it is part time work, what her hourly wage is and how many hours she works a week. Also as long as she provides something that shows and proves her income then that will be good enough.

Well question 9 on the Affidavit does say to state if you have previously submitted Affidavit's for other's so yes, I would say she needs to record these on the form and with regards to the "date submitted" I don't think they'll be that stringent about them but if she can't remember the exact date, then maybe just put the month and year.

Hope this helps

The letter along with pay stubs and tax returns. The letter could state that her prospects of continued employment are good and that even as a part time employee she is a valuable asset to their business.

London will accept the mother's I-134 as your sponsor with nothing from your fiancé.

After marriage, your fiancé will do her own I-864 which will be filled out prior to you adjustment of status application. I would think her tax return would be enough from he for that one because why prove over and over that she doesn't qualify to sponsor on her own. The big proof of income will have to come from Mum as the joint sponsor of the I-864.

Even if you take an I-134 to London from your fiancé, why take an employer letter showing she doesn't qualify? Seems like her tax return would show that without bothering the boss. The point of proofs like tax return, pay stubs, or employer letter is to prove you do qualify and to onvince the interviewer.
