When to Date I134?

[DarkKiss 45]

I want to send items needed from me, the Petitioner, to fiancee in advance (i.e. I-134, Copy of original I-129 Petition, proof on on-going relationship, taxes, bank statements, travel tickets, hotel receipts, phone logs, photos etc). Because DHL is so expensive, I want to send only one packet.

Our case is still and NVC, and he has not yet received an interview date.

Do I have to wait until he receives his interview date before sending these items to him? If it is NOT necessary to wait for interview date, what date do I put on the I-134?

Due to medical reasons, I will not be able to attend interview if it will be before the end of the year, which I believe it possibly could be.

Hi DarkKiss,

We dated all documents on September 1st, our Interview date is 2weeks later.

Why don't you wait till your file is sent to your embassy to date them?

[DarkKiss 45]

I guess I should wait, but because I won't be there with him, I want to give him all documents in advance to assist him in being fully and accurately prepared for his interview. Just trying to cross all t's and dot all i's.

I supposed I'm just too nervous because I will not be able to attend and assist him in person, I want him to have all his ducks in a row.

The I-134 can be a couple months old and it should still be ok. You should send in the documents as close to the time of interview as possible though.

Thanks so much Zedayn. I really appreciate, that even though this part of your journey is over, you are still here helping others. Thanks again.

I dated the I-134 with the date of Sept 18th and sent to fiance. His interview date is Nov 19th. On the day of interview, that form will be two months old. Does anyone think I should redo it and send him a new form with a date like maybe today's date or should it be dated closer to interview date or is it OK the way it is?

Thanks in advance.

You should put the date that you fill the form out and sign it. That's the way it was designed...there can be a gap between when you sign it and when it is presented to the consulate or embassy.

Mine was dated 6/21 and the interview was 8/29, they didn't seem to care.

Edit: In case you were unaware the date on the updated letter of intent to marry DOES matter, it has to be within 30 days of the interview.

Thanks for this thread. I have the same question. We are also waiting for NVC to send our file to the embassy. NOA2 was on 10/01/14.

I am visiting him next week and taking everything to him then. I also was wondering if 2-3 months passes between date on documents and his interview would be a problem. I don't want any reason to prolong the AP visa waiting time. Jamaica already seems to be putting others in long APs until visas get issued. Thanks!

I have same problem....

My fiance sent me the documents needed on my interview.. His letter of intent and the I134 was dated and signed on August 26,2014... Our case is still at NVC and we still dont have the interview date..would the letter and I134 still acceptable even it is now 2months old?? And will be 4months old on December (which i plan to sched my interview)?

[Dan&Yvette 15]

Thanks Hank for answering my questions!!

Thanks Hank for answering my questions!!

So is it ok to have a few months gap?

Mr Tee said he thinks that two months old would be ok, but I think you should start a new thread on the 4 month thing. I may be too old or NOT, I don't know.

Ok so thanks for that information about the letter of intent. I need to send a new one because it is also dated in September. Thanks again.

Per Hank's advised:

"I don't think the I-134 signed back in August will be an issue (got copy of his most recent tax return and W-2 ?)

No issue with the LOI being dated in August either, odds are the embassy will not ask for that... :)"
