Affidavit of Support documentation at interview (split topic)

[myyid68 0]

Hi, I also have a question about the Affidavit of Support and the documentation (bank letters, employment letters etc) that should accompany it. I am Romanian and I am getting ready for my K1 interview in a few weeks from now. My fiance (American citizen) will have his sister sponsor me because her income is MUCH bigger than his. My question is this: How will the signed Afiidavit and accompanying documentation get to the Consulate in Bucharest? Is it ok if they scan everything and send it to me via email and then I ;print it out and take it with me to the interview or do they have to mail me everything so that I have the originals??

do they have to mail me everything so that I have the originals??

They need to do this.

We did it two ways.....1. the 134 was included in the K1 visa petition eventhough it was not requested at that time. 2. I handcarried it across the ocean. it is that important. From what I recall, signed orginals are required. Best of luck!

Signed originals only with supporting documents as required for affidavit. On the us consulate website it states always originals.

Thank you for the replies, everybody!

One other question: If my sponsor for the Affidavit of Support is going to be my fiance's sister (her income is MUCH better than his, over 100k a year), but she is married, does her husband also have to sign the Affidavit?! Furthermore, does my fiance also have to file a separate Affidavit so that I can have both for the interview? Do you guys think that'd be necessary?!

Thank you!

If your fiance's sister is your co-sponsor, then only she will sign her I-134. Yes your fiance has to file his own I-134 because he is your primary sponsor. So you would have two I-134 forms: one from your fiance, and one from your fiance's sister.

Thank you, Zedayn!

What about tax returns? In the package sent from the embassy they say that I should include legalised copies of tax returns (2012) together with the Affidavit. But then when I downloaded the I-134 form from the USCIS site, in the instructions section, they didnt mention anything about tax returns. Plus, the problem here is that both my fiance and his sister were still students in 2012 and didnt work so no income back then.. What should we do?

Thank you,

You need to include what the embassy is asking for, and most embassies will want at least a copy of last year's tax return. In the case of no tax return, you need to write a statement explaining why you were not required to file.
