Is this true for affidavit of support forms I-134

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/types/family/fiance-k-1.html#8 Proof of Financial Support and Affidavit of Support Forms

During the visa interview, applicants will be required to present evidence to the consular officer that they will not become a public charge in the United States. You may present evidence that you are able to financially support yourself or that your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) is able to provide support. The Consular Officer may request that a Form I-134, Affidavit of Support be submitted by the U.S. citizen fiancé(e).

The U.S. citizen fiancé(e) will need to submit Form I-864 to USCIS with the application for adjustment of status to that of legal permanent resident following the marriage.

Do the Same Income Requirements Apply to Form I-134 as Apply to Form I-864?

No. The 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline minimum income requirement, the most recent year's tax return, and other requirements only apply when Form I-864 is needed. Applicants presenting Form I-134 will need to show that their U.S. sponsor's income is 100 percent of the federal poverty guideline.

I am the applicant, so i only need to show them that my income is 100 precent of the federal poverty guideline? which is only $15730.

Please help Thx.

Assuming you have no one else in your household and your foreign fiancee will not be bringing any dependents, your household size would be 2 (you and your fiancee).

Officially, USCIS sets the minimum for the I-134 at 100% of the poverty line, but I've read that some consulates want to see 125% even at the K-1 interview stage. You could find out which consulates require what by asking in a separate thread or looking at the consulate reviews for your country.

Yes, but sometimes the Embassies like to see 125% because they know you will file for AOS in the future.

Agree with the above...if what you state is your annual income...you're very close to the margin. You may want to consider a co-sponsor...

I'm sure that others will be able to assist you with regards to that...

My 2013 total income only 15200, but i have deposit, personal preperty (cars), and my stocks as show above. Do I need a co-support?

The pic is diffcuilt to see, I just type it.

annual income $15200

deposit in saving bank $3000

personal property, reasonable value $ 20000

stock and bonds $49336

You live in NY NY???? At your income, you must be living in a shoebox? Are you living with others? Family? Friends? Co-workers? Roommates? That could come into play? Others might disagree with me...but, embassy personnel are not ignorant. Just sayin'. Again, you are at the edge financially...

Perhaps others who have been in your situation can add something to this...

Ok. Good! Would your parents be willing to co-sponsor you? It might be a good idea to get that started as soon as possible...just in case. The last think you'll want is to have your future bride turned down at the interview...

Seems that the CO's at the Embassy look at the "bottom line!" If they question it...BAM! 221(g) - refusal of visa - until they get additional paperwork...

So...look into it a bit more...cover yourself...be prepared...
