I-134 additional sponsor filed jointly questions

[jaimelee 12]

Hello fellow VJers,

Working on the I - 134 form for my fiancé. I am going to send additional sponsor information for my fiance because I was in college last year working only part time and also had left the country to be in Chile for 3 months out of the year when I was not working. Right now I can make the poverty guidelines with what I make but I have no way to prove that other than a document that my employer can sign stating what I generally make in tips monthly (I am a waitress).

So if I have read correctly other posts, my mother (the additional sponsor) even though she filed jointly with my father will be the only person to be put on the I - 134 correct? However, my father will be put as a "partial dependent" in question 8 regarding dependents? And I even though I file as non-dependent but since I still live at home with my parents will also file as "partial dependent" or not?

Also for number 10, states, "I have submitted a visa petition to the USCIS on behalf of the following persons…" she would put none in that box because I was the one to file for the petition not her correct?

Thanks everyone for the help! I hope that this was not too confusing.

You are not her dependent. Father is listed as part of her household, but not you. And yes, she would put None because she has not filed a petition for anyone.

Ok thank you for your response! So it doesn't matter if I live in her house I would still not be a dependent?

Everyone you live with is not necessarily in your household count.

How to count household size >

Your household size includes yourself and the following individuals, no matter where they live: any spouse, any dependent children under the age of 21, any other dependents listed on your most recent Federal income tax return, all persons being sponsored in this affidavit of support, and any immigrants previously sponsored with a Form I-864 or Form I-864 EZ
