I-134/I-864

[chrisepic 0]

chrisepic,

If you're pursuing K3 use only form I-134, however, you don't need to fill it out yet until they mail it out to you.

My father (the Co-sponsor) will fill out the same type of form I do, right? The I-134?

Are you aware of the anecdotal evidence in this community of Manila's opinion of financial co-sponsors?

No, I would sure like to be enlightened. Please dont tell me she will be denied because I have a co-sponsor. I am working at a restaurant right now while I'm in school and I live off of school loans, too. I will be moving back home and actually living in an apartment on my father's estate and will be working for him part time while I continue school. I have three years left of school.

Should I be worried about these circumstances? I mean, a co-sponsor is a co-sponsor- I shouldn't get denied should I?

No. He will fill in form I-134. You will not fill it because you don't meet the income requirements. The instructions on the form also asked for it to be notarized. Use infopass to schedule an appointment at the local district office to have it notarized. Just follow the instructions.

So you are saying, since I dont have adequate means of financial support right now, and will indeed be using a co-sponsor, they dont want to know anything about my financial standing, only my co-sponsor's? I was under the assumption that I would still have to do an I-134 myself?

Ok. That doesn't change the I-134 procedures. You would be well advised to fill out an I-134 and have it notarized. Since you are in the Philippines, you can get it notarized at the Embassy. Your father's I-134 can be notarized by any Notary in the USA. I use my insurance agent but banks have Notaries too. Given you are young and living abroad as a student, it is highly likely the financial documentation will be asked for at the interview.

Infopass is something you do with USCIS. They have no involvement with the I-134 whatsoever.

Okay. No, I am not in the Philippines now, I am in the US- so I will get it notarized in the US

You need to spend some time in the Philipines regional forum. Ask any questions about co-sponsorship among those members who have gone through THAT consulate - not London or China or whatever. Each consulate has unique requirements and stipulations, not the least of which is Manila.

Is this true? The I-134 doesn't have to be notarized? I've been reading all day about this form and have yet to read anything of this nature.

Beameup: Where did you find this out? Thanks.

I'm just going by the instructions given by the Embassy in Manila, Philippines in regard to filing the I-129F.

But, just to be on the safe® side, I would go ahead and have any notary public in the U.S. notarized it.

In the Philippines, attorneys do all notarizations and they now have been EXCLUDED - as of this year - from

being able to notarize any docs regarding U.S. Immigration. So, in that case any notarizations would have to

be done by an Embassy Official at a cost of $30 each. I assume that is the reason for the exclusion as well

as the fact that the I-864 Affidavit requires NO NOTARIZATION. Perhaps the I-134 is undergoing revision.
