I-134 Question 3 ??

[pmarshall 9]

Hi all

Our friend in the US has filled out our co-sponsor I-134 as the USC does not earn enough from her current job. I'm going to London for my interview so we can use a co sponsor before anyone says :-).

Q 3 of the i-134 is the details of the beneficiary and it asks for 'relationship to sponsor' ? What should our friend put in this box ??

Thank you

Paul

Paul--

The reason I suggested maybe putting more than "friend" is because of this discussion of the I-134 from the Foreign Affairs Manual:

(Paragraph before is saying to consider more than income and look at other factors, such as....)

(1) The sponsor's motives in submitting the affidavit;

(2) The sponsor's relationship to the applicant (e.g., relative by blood or marriage, former employer or employee, schoolmates, or business associates);

(3) The length of time the sponsor and applicant have known each other;

(4) The sponsor's financial resources; and

(5) Other responsibilities of the sponsor.

NOTE: When there are compelling or forceful ties between the applicant and the sponsor, such as a close family relationship or friendship of long standing, you may favorably consider the affidavit. On the other hand, an affidavit submitted by a casual friend or distant relative who has little or no personal knowledge of the applicant has more limited value. If the sponsor is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR), the likelihood of the sponsor's support of an immigrant visa (IV) applicant until the applicant can become self- supporting is a particularly important consideration.

I don't think London would likely care, but if you could quantify the relationship a bit, why not?
