Should I fill I-134 form if I have a sponsor?

[WhiteBear 0]

Hi guys,

I have this kind of question.

I am a petitioner. Currently I am preparing the documents for an interview for my fiancée (K-1 fiancée visa).

We have a sponsor (who is my relative in the US) - he filed the I-134 form for us.

I have been a student for last several years and haven't got any income. I have not filled my taxes, since I have no income. I have some savings, approximately $20,000.

Should I fill another I-134 form myself, or we need only one I-134 form from our sponsor?

I can do it, but not sure if it is required

Thank you.

London has accepted just the one I-134 from the person with income on a number of occasions. It should be fine for you to do the same. There really is no written law stating exact and specific requirements.

Some of the confusion on this is the I-864 Affidavit of Support, which will be filed with your AOS, has stricter written rules. You will be required to file a form as primary sponsor, even with no income. Then your other person will also do one as joint sponsor.

Various embassies can set their expectations on how they want you to show your fiancé will not become a public charge. London is okay with any sponsor. London is okay with no tax return if the income is proven in some other way. I would be so curious to know if only your I-134 and $20,000 savings would be convincing to London. But you might as well go with the other person because you will need them for the I-864 anyway.
