k-1 and official invite for tourist visa

[Christina y Geo 1]

My fiance and I are in the process of the k-1 visa. Our wedding is in July and it is really important to both of us that his mom is there. I want to do the official invitation but I dont know how doing two I-134s will affect our current visa. Should we wait on the tourist visa for his mom until our visa is complete?? At the rate the csc is working I'm afraid we may be pushing it timewise if we don't start the process now.

You won't be able to do anything to help with the tourist visa. His mom will have to prove strong ties to her country on her own. The I-134 you do for the K-1 visa will have no effect on his mom obtaining a tourist visa.

Not sure why you are going for a K1 if that is such a major parameter.

If you want to send an offical invite you have to do an I-134 for her too. I have done the tourist visa process already so I know what she will have to prove. I am talking specifically about having two I-134s out at the same time and how that could potentially affect our K-1 visa.

Having his mom at our wedding is the USA would be much easier than having my entire family in Guatemala for a wedding. That is why.

If you have an I-134 for the tourist visa, and also one for the K-1 visa, this will not affect the K-1 visa. Just that when you do your I-134's, you need to include the person from the other I-134 as a member of your household and have enough money to support for the household size. For example, if you do the I-134 for the K-1 first you obviously will put yourself and your fiance (and anyone else that you provide support to). When you do the tourist visa I-134 second, you will need to include yourself, his mom, AND your fiance (because its on another I-134).

Basically you need to put down everyone you are supporting on the I-134, including people that are on previous I-134's you are still obligated to support. As long as you have enough financial support to support your household size then there will be no problems.

Ohh thank you! That is very, very helpful and makes complete sense.
