Hello,

I have some questions regarding the i134 requirement in Vietnam. So my income this year should come about to $15000. IF following the i134 income requirement, I am short $500. But if the consulate follow the i184 than I am short about 5K. First question is which income requirement does Vietnam consulate follow, the i-134 or i184? I do have about 55K assets in the bank that are easily use. Is this enough to cover my shortage? In addition, I have been reading mixes advise about asset divide by three or five? Which one is it?

I am trying to find a cosponsor but it is difficult to get someone to help me right now. Any advise? Thank you!

It is I-134 ( not I 864 ) for K-1 visa. The poverty guideline for 2 people is 19387.5 so you are short about 5K. I think 55K will cover your shortage .

The i-134 follows the 100 % poverty line which comes out to be about 15,500 for two people. The i-184 follows the 125 percent poverty guideline of 19387.5. Thanks for your reply?

Anyone else can answers my questions I stated above? Thanks!

Even travel state website says 100% for I-134, however I-134 instruction or I-134 form does not mention 100% or 125%. "Most consulates will use the 125% guidelines because, although the K-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa, there is immigrant intent and they know the intending immigrant will be filing I-864 which requires 125%. You have to understand that the I-134 form is used for other non-immigrant visas as well, which will not have immigrant intent and in THOSE cases they will require only 100%, but not for a K-1 visa."

Thank you for your replies. Do they take into account future income from PHD program which I will start in Sept 2014. Plus my assets is enough to live off for at least 5 years. Do you know any student that get denied because they dont make enough money? I would hate to be denied when we get to this stage. We worked so hard for this!

They will not accept future income, but they will take into account that you are a student and your assets seem plenty enough with your income.

yes you can use the $55,000 in the bank, assets, to use them it would be 3 times the amount needed for a spouse and 5 times for all others, so which will they use? plan on 5 hope for 3.

as far as 100% or 125%, if you don't meet the 125% how could you in 90 days later after you marry and file or AOS,
No you can not use future income. I expect to win the lottery they would not let me use it.

But I can use my assets to cover my shortage right? IF I use my assets, I am well over 125% poverty line now. Is that a correct assumption?
