I-134 Affidavit of support

[rbiedlingmaier 0]

I am curious to anyone who has reached this point of the process. At this time my fiance is about two weeks away from receiving her interview date sometime in January. I was living with my fiance in Brasil for several months but i have returned to the U.S. in order to look for jobs prior to her arrival here in late january. However, if i am not able to secure a good job by the time of her interview is it possible to use my parents as the sponsors on the I-134 form. I noticed there is a section on the form that states who the sponsor is and the relation to the fiance. However, my name is on all the previous forms and paperwork not my parents. I guess what i am asking is to see if its is okay to use someone else as a sponsor if they are not attached to any of the previous forms and paperwork such as the I-129 for example. I am sure this has happened to someone else, because i am sure a job making 20,000 a year is considered at the poverty level so i am waiting for a good job to come around. what should i do?? any suggestions.

You still are the primary sponsor of the immigrant and need to provide an I-134, and your parent will co sponsor and also provide an I-134.

rbiedlingmaier,

What you suggest is perfectly acceptable, many people do it. They (mistakenly) call it 'having a co-sponsor'.

Recognize that even if you do secure a good paying job before January (or 2 not-so-good paying jobs) your parents may still have to sponsor your fiancee - a very short time on a new job may not make the consular officer sufficiently comfortable, depending on your previous job history.

YuAndDan,

Not necessarily true. Although a consular office could always ask to see his financial information.

This is a non-immigrant visa application. rbiedlingmaier must be the Sponsor when his then wife applies to immigrate after she marries him, but there's no requirement that he must be the sponsor for her non-immigrant K visa.

You - and many, many others - are applying I-864 principles to a situation where they do not apply.

yeah after doing some reading i have come to that realization, i was starting to sweat a little bit for a minute but knew there had to be another way. Thanks for the advice, what would be my father's relation to my fiance on the form?? Fiance father in law is acceptable to put down??

rbiedlingmaier,

Your father is your father, not your father-in-law, right? And your the guy - the fiance - right?
