i-134 affidavit of support questions

[nyheen 0]

hello all. few quick questions about i-134

1. if i have a co-sponsor or joint, do they and me fill out i-134 or i-864 or both,?

2. i understand that combined income for the poverty guideline does not work on k1 visa, but does it works for the k3? like if i had my mom and mines income to add on the poverty guideline?

3.if i got a 2nd job how long i need to be working just to do the affidavit of support?. do i really need to be working over a year just to prove that iam over the poverty guildeline? can i just use a few pay stubs (1month total?) to calculate how much i would be making for the whole year? i already have 1 job, i make 15k a year, but only got 1 W2 from it. is that fine or i need 3 years for it? just dont want her failing her interview because of that.

4. anyone ever did the interview in the U.S. Embassy Kathmandu, nepal? how did it go for you guys?

5.coke or pepsi?

thank you!

Coke for sure ? hahah ok sorry down to business. I wish I could help but I myself am wondering about your first question there!

All I know is that you as well as your joint sponsor fill out the i-134 for the interview for her k1, and for the AoS after you get married you and your joint sponsor both fill out the i-864

And Coke!

But that`s really all I know, I have a bunch of questions on this form myself, I have a thread on this topic that has at least double the amount of questions yours has so I definitely feel your pain, sadly

I`ll be following this thread!

Good luck

-you both fill it out

-k3 is obsolete, it'd be a cr1 and a sponsor has to make enough on their own for your fiancé and their household size.

3.if i got a 2nd job how long i need to be working just to do the affidavit of support?. do i really need to be working over a year just to prove that iam over the poverty guildeline? can i just use a few pay stubs (1month total?) to calculate how much i would be making for the whole year? i already have 1 job, i make 15k a year, but only got 1 W2 from it. is that fine or i need 3 years for it? just dont want her failing her interview because of that.

-You'd need a letter from the employer stating your salary for the year

4. anyone ever did the interview in the U.S. Embassy Kathmandu, nepal? how did it go for you guys?

5.coke or pepsi?

-Have to interview in home country for a k1

thank you!

So that means I can only work for 1 month? Just need to get a letter telling me what would be my annual salary? If so then wow that a huge help dude. Ok everyone let get 2 jobs and bring our wife over! Lol

[Kim Mertens 54]

do keep in mind that you should be keeping it as long as your AoS isn`t completed so not just to bring her over, they`ll need proof of 125percent of the minimum income once you get married to adjust her status after marriage, so just getting that job till she`s over there won`t be enough, sadly

That will be alright with me, it just I thought I would have to be working for 1 year just to fill out that I-134, Iam happy I can do this much faster now. Thanks all

You both fill out an I-134 for the K-1 visa interview, and you both provide supporting documentation, most recent tax transcript, letter from employer and/or recent pay stubs.

You do not have to work an entire year to prove your current annual income. However, please know that the CO will sometimes not approve an affidavit of support is the income is new and borderline of the requirement. You may still need the co-sponsor, so have that lined up too, just in case. Some consulates are more lax about the financials than others.

And just want to add, that if you had been self-employed, then you would have most likely needed to wait until your Total Income(line 22 of the 1040) showed you met the income requirement, if you wanted to forgo the co-sponsor.

The 134 is for the K-1 interview, the 864 is later for AOS. You both fill out a 134 form and send in any documentation. Your 134 is like a verification that you need a cosponsor.

2. i understand that combined income for the poverty guideline does not work on k1 visa, but does it works for the k3? like if i had my mom and mines income to add on the poverty guideline?

No, can only use one income.

3.if i got a 2nd job how long i need to be working just to do the affidavit of support?.

1 day....you would need a letter from the employer stating your new annual income.

do i really need to be working over a year just to prove that iam over the poverty guildeline?

No, just current income.

can i just use a few pay stubs (1month total?) to calculate how much i would be making for the whole year?

Yes plus a letter from the employer.

i already have 1 job, i make 15k a year, but only got 1 W2 from it. is that fine

Yes

or i need 3 years for it? just dont want her failing her interview because of that.

If you don't have any, then you don't submit. Current income is key.
