For I-134, does a cosponsor need 100% or 125%?

Good news is I got the job I was applying for, so I will likely be able to sponsor my fiance myself. But because I will only have one or two pay stubs (and a letter), I am hoping to still get a cosponsor, just as a backup plan. I may have someone.

I'm curious though: I know I only need to meet 100% of the poverty line, but does the cosponsor need to meet 125%? Or 100% also? Exactly what documents will they need to submit?

My fiance has delayed sending off his readiness letter until next week, will this pose a problem for our interview date being on time? I've heard if for whatever reason it falls after the petition expires (Feb 9th), we just need to resign new statements of wanting to pursue the K1. Is this correct?

For the I-134 there are no hard and fast rules for $$ value (particularly in London) but it's always prudent to hedge bets and aim for 125%, but go in confidently if you only have 100% - should be cool in London. This would also be true for your joint sponsor.

Does this mean you've found a co-sponsor?

If your interview ends up falling after petition expiry date, no worries. The USC should furnish the beneficiary with a fresh letter of intent to take with, that's all.

A friend of mine is at least looking over the forms. With my income from the new job, plus child support and maintenance, I will have over 125% myself. My concern is in case they say for whatever reason that I don't have enough time in the job, if my friend can cosponsor we've got a back up. I'm not sure they'll accept my maintenance because it will end when we marry...but it will last the duration between his entry to the US and our marriage so maybe they will count it. At any rate, without the maintenance (this is alimony by another name), I'll be between 100-125%. I know this presents an issue for the AOS, especially since I can't count the maintenance then, but with my fiance here I can get a weekend job if need be (or, my friend can cosponsor then too). As it is that's a ways off. I may have enough saved up to meet the difference by then anyway.

For the I-134, are any tax forms needed?

Will I list my total income (job + child support + maintenance) on the I-134, provide a letter from my boss, pay stubs, a court order showing my child support amount and a list of those amounts being transferred to me? Have I missed anything?

Do I list anything on the "specific contributions" line of the I-134? Would the cosponsor?

You can use tax returns (including the W-2) or IRS transcripts if you want. But seeing as you have a letter, pay stubs and those court orders along with a record of payments made you will likely be okay.

Unless you're going to make regular payments at set intervals or transfer over one big lump some or something, then I wouldn't worry about it. Some people put "support as and when needed" or something along those lines but London seems to gloss over that section of the I-134.
