I134 Help

[lilofdevine 0]

Hello to all K'1,2,3 members. I have a couple of questions with regard to the I134 question #9.

My previous marriage required me to prepare a I134 for my x-husband. He decided that he wanted to be in his country and USA was too difficult for him. Needless to say, just 3 months before his interview date, he left. His application was denied for failure to attend interview.

Now the question ask if you ever filed for Aff. of Support previously. Should I be putting my x-husband's name there.

Also, I am confused about the 125% of poverty level. Can someone give me the figure for the poverty level.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you file an I-134, and did your EX enter the country on the visa and then return home?

You say interview date for your EX, was it Visa interview or Adjustment of Status interview? You dont give us much to go with here, hard to answer question.

lilofdevine,

Haven't you answered your own question? There's no 'unless' in question #9.

Pardon me for topic hijacking, but I have a similar question, regarding questions 9 and 10.

My mother, who is going to be cosponsoring my fiance, has a similar situation. I currently am trying to do a little footwork for her to lighten the paperwork load, so my facts about her situation aren't 100%, but I am assuming she also had to file a I-134 for her now ex husband (He was here on a work visa from Algeria, they got married, he is now a US citizen so she is no longer responsible for supporting him, nor has she been for several years.). We're unsure whether or not she should mention this in 9 and 10, as she doesn't want to confuse the officer into thinking that she is still responsible for him, ergo bumping up the household size another notch or causing it to look more complicated than it is.

Now, going by the rules of the I-864 (and yes, I realize it's a different form, but the rules for both seem to go hand in hand as far as I can tell), it sounded to me like you don't list things like these as they are no longer relevant ("Enter the number of lawful permanent residents whom you are currently obligated to support based on your previous submission of Form I-864 as a petitioning, substitute, or joint sponsor, or of Form I-864EZ as a petitioning sponsor....Do not include anyone for whom your obligation to support has ended through the sponsored immigrant'sacquisition of U.S. citizenship (and others)") I assumed this was the same for this form.

If we *are* meant to still list my mothers ex husband on these lines, should we make a notation about him no longer being an issue, and if so, how would one word that?

jezelbelseven,

Answer the question that is asked. The question does not ask, 'have you signed any affidavits of support that are still in effect'.

It would be a good idea to add a note, but not the note that you suggest. Note that the sponsored alien is now a citizen. Let the consular officer apply the law and, given the information provided, determine that the affidavit is no longer in effect.

That was what I was thinking-- Adding a line that says he's now a US citizen. Thanks for the confirmation.

I imagine with my mother's lackluster organization skills (as well as her ex husbands) she won't have the information on when the old ones were submitted, so we may have to put an approximate date, hm. :/
