I 134 Affidavit for support.

[micahmoos 5]

Hi ,My name is Kimberly and I have a question about the income guidelines for affidavit of support. I had a case with uscis and now it is forwarded to the NVC for processing and transfer to the Kingston embassy. My case is for a 129 F fiance visa. He is bringing his 2 kids and I have listed them on the petition as well. I’m trying to figure out if I go off the income guidelines for my household size now which is 2 ( me and my daughter ) or should I go off of the guidelines for a family of 5 which includes me, my daughter and my fiance and his 2 kids. I’m just trying to figure out the income guidelines I need to meet. For a family of 2 it's $15,510 and for a family of 5 it's $27,570 for form I134 . Also do anyone know how long it takes for the NVC to receive the I129 petition for fiance after it is approved. I called and they still have not received it as yet. They approved it on Sept 11th and sent me a notice saying that they sent it to the NVC. Thanks in advance.

Many consulate uses the 125% poverty guideline not 100%, because the AOS requires the I-864.

You household size would be 5 (yourself, daughter, fiance, and his two children).

Ok thanks. I looked on the USCIS website and it says that the 125% only applies for the I-864 only, i'm just wondering why would it appy for the I134. Just a little confused. But thank you.

If the visa is approved and your fiancé arrives, after you get married you have to adjust status and you will submit the affidavit of support Form I-864 (along with all the others) and that requires 125% of poverty level.

ok thank you. That is what i thought. Don't know what i'm going to do because i'm $1,902 short of the family of 5 which is $27,570 which is at the 100% guidelines.

[Umka36 781]

Use a joint sponsor, or assets to cover the difference? You really need to first confirm that the embassy you are going through uses the 100% poverty level. If not, then it will be $34,462 for a household of 5.

Have that straight because had to look for a sponsor for my fiance.he was approved bt we had to submit that and we just did waiting to see what they say.

If you are in the Military you can go with the 100% poverty level but otherwise you may need a co-sponsor as suggested above.

When you guys say i need a sponsor don't this apply to the I864 when he arrive in the states because i thought your not able to use it a sponser on just the I134 . You will only be able to use a sponser after the fiance is here. I'm so confused

[Umka36 781]

Being allowed to use a joint-sponsor depends on the Consulate you go through. Maybe a VJ admin can move this topic to the correct regional forum, so people there can better assist you.

Our embassy uses the 125% guidelines that is listed on the I-864P. You will need to meet the guidelines of a family of 5. If you don't meet the guidelines, then you need a co-sponsor. They accept co-sponsors at our embassy for a K-1.

Ok thanks for your help. This make me feel a bit better because i started to cry. I just want my baby to come home. He's having a hard time in Jamaica with his our kids (my step kids) . He is a single father there and his baby mother does not do anything for her children. Just want them here so they can be taken care of.
