I-134 question 11

[nfs 0]

I am in a quandary!

I have a co-sponsor who has just been great about agreeing to do this.

I am just about ready to send my financial information to Russia and the co-sponsor just got 3 copies of his I-134 notarized today, when I found out that he should not have checked the "do not intend" box on question 11. I advised him to check that because he won't be giving us any support. Now that his form is notarized I don't think he can change it, so he'd have to fill out and notarize the form all over again and I hate to have him do that.

Will it be a big problem to send it off that way?

My lawyer advised me to answer that question "intend" and write under that "Full support for the duration of the marriage." That sounds fine for my I-134, but it seems a little crazy to ask my co-sponsor to state that.

I was also reading the pinned I-134 thread where it says that N/A with no checked box is a good way to put it.

Did anyone here check the "do not intend" box and survive?

Should I really make my co-sponsor do the form again?

Thanks for any reply!

I think you're supposed to check the "do not intend" box. That "intend to support" thing is for other types of visas.

I put down NA(k-1 visa process for permanent residence) I think I got that from this site some where . I also did not check any box

Thanks folks! There seems to be a lot of variation in what to put here, so maybe anything is OK.

But I found out something that I didn't know. You can change notarized documents if you need to. Apparently the notarizing is for the signature, not the document, or something like that.

So if anyone else has this problem, you can calm down, as I did once I found that out.

nfs,

A couple of observations:

- I agree with your attorney as to how Q11 is best answered, but the anecdotal evidence is that as a practical matter it doesn't make any difference how Q11 is answered.

- A notary is attesting to the fact that the signature on the document is that of the person they claim to be. The notary is not attesting to any of the information contained in the document. You are not contemplating a change to the signature.

- You don't see the inherent contradiction in a person saying 'yes I'll be your (financial) sponsor but no I'm not going to give you any money if you need it'?
