Does my Mother Need to Fill Out I-134?

[SunflowerSweet 1,321]

Hello Everyone!

My father has agreed to be a joint sponsor for my beneficiary fiance for the I-134, as I make just short of the requirements.

He makes enough to cover us as it is without my mother's income as well, so I was not planning on having her fill one out.

However, they file taxes jointly, and some of the assets (bonds, IRA's, etc) he has include her name on them.

Does she need to fill out the I-134 and provide info as well?

Does he have pay stubs and an employer letter to show what his Income is and that it alone is enough? With that he doesn't even have to list assets. Leave that all blank. A tax return is not even required with an I-134 for London. He can do the only I-134 if he has the proof of his separate income.

I don't know how short you are of the requirements, but London has on occasion accepted just 100% of the poverty guidelines. See this K1 page, tenth question down ..."Do the same income requirements apply to the I-134...."

Great

You can only have one cosponsor anyways.

That's OK. If your father's income is sufficient, then there is not need to list other stuff.

No, you can only have one cosponsor.

my parents filed jointly but i only filled out an I-134 for my mom and had her sign and date it. i included copies of her birth certificate and passport, her last income tax form, last 3 paystubs, copies of her life insurance, and receipts for taxes paid on land and the house her and my dad own.
