Sponsorship Question

[Kinsey 0]

Hello!

First let me say, I did use the search option but couldn't find the answer to my question

When it come time to file for sponsorship *fingers crossed* I will have my mother co-sponsor my fiance.

What I need to know is, do her and I both need to fill out our own I-864 Support Form?

Thanks in advance!!

You will both need to fill out forms, but probably I-134 for the K1.

I-134, that's right. Don't know where I got the other from. Thanks so much.

I-864 is the affidavit of support form when you have entered the US on your K-1, have married and are applying for adjustment of status. It's huge - download it now and prepare for it. For now though, you only need to fill our I-134.

And both of you need to do the I-864 for AOS.

J,

I disagree with heishe to a certain extent. Some visa applicants in the UK have found, by trying the experiment that I am about to suggest, that they did not need an I-134 and other financial documentation from their petitioner. They only needed the financial information for their sponsor.

I have not seen this tried often enough to advise that you do not need to provide your own financial package, but just to satisfy your own curiosity (and mine!) you might instruct your fiance to submit only your mother's financial package, keeping yours in his back pocket unless and until it is asked for.

Yodrak-

I was a student so my last 2 years were less than poverty level. This year I far exceeded it. At my husband's interview, they took only my I-134 though, not needing my co-sponsor's.

devilette,

That makes perfect sense. If you submitted both financial packages, and they found you to be qualified to be the sponsor, they would certainly prefer that you be the sponsor rather than someone with a more distant relationship to the visa applicant.
