I-134 needed for fiance or not?

[mathew5502 0]

Hi guys,

Well my fiance and i have just sent off our I-129f package to the Texas lockbox on Monday. Have yet to hear anything. She is not working since leaving high school so im wondering will she still need to complete a i-134? Both her parents earn under $25000 each so the combined income is just short of $50,000 for a household of 5 including me once im there. They file their taxes jointly and will both complete a i-134 for me. Is this correct? What evidence will we need? Will i need 3 x i-134?

Please help this is so confusing!

Mathew

Can I say one thing about your timeline which says Texas Service Center? You don't know your service center yet until you get your receipt (NOA1). The Texas Lockbox is not a service center. It's a mailroom of sorts run by contractors to take in all the K1 applications, sort them, deposit the check, and send to a proper service center for processing.

Now the I-134 which will be taken to the interview in London--

You will read many things about the I-134 on Visa Journey, but each consulate is different in the way they handle things. LONDON will be fine with somebody other than your fiancé providing the Affidavit of Support. Yes, that is correct. If your fiancé has no job then they have little use for an I-134 from her. Bring one from her father. Bring the tax return that shows the income. If each parent can get an employer letter stating their income, London won't faff around much about it. It is a subjective decision by the officer and $50k should convince them you will be taken care of.

When you file for adjustment of status in the US, there is another Affidavit of Support, I-864. It has very strict and specific rules you will follow. That includes your wife filling out a form, even if she has zero income. You may have a joint sponsor (Dad) and he can pool his income with a household member (Mom). They will each have forms to sign as well.

Hello,

We got our NOA2 and I am currently on hold with the NVC. My fiancée is back in England waiting for the next step (not exactly clear on all of this but hopefully I'm about to find out more once they actually pick up)...he has a complete I-134 filled out with tax returns and all other information from my father as co-sponsor, who has above the minimum income probably required. My question is, do I have to fill out an I-134 as well? And how long does it usually take to get the interview and approval? We are pretty prepared, my fiancée has his original birth certificate, police check, and all else needed already, and we have a letter from the place we booked to have our wedding at September 27th (maybe a stupidly optimistic idea but no money down or lost if we have to cancel). I feel very hazy about all of this and just wondering if co-sponsor alone is ok. Help!

Thanks

For London, yes they will accept your Dad's sponsorship alone. Well let's say, they have done for a number of people. I guess we can never predict the future, but the past is a good indicator.

If you need a walk-through for London processing, read this http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/474161-london-k1-a-complete-guide/

It is 8 posts summarizing the process. Read past post 8 for a few changes that have happened...like don't call DOS for info and mobile phones are now okay inside.
