Affidavit of support form

[Shellane845 0]

Hello! 

 

I am currently filling out my K-1 visa for my fiance and we are having my mother who is a USA citizen fill out the sponsorship form I-134. I have a few questions about it. Can she sign it and scan it and email it to me or does it have to be a wet signature? Also is this the correct form for her to fill out. It asks if she is filling the visa for the person she is sponsoring but she is not I am. 

And should she put down that she is going to contribute money to our marriage if we don't know if she will yet?  Can the form just be her saying if anything goes wrong she will pay the bill for the financial loss of the US. 

The problem is I cannot be the sponsor because I am still in Korea and when I get to the US won't have a job right away. So we need someone else to prove that if he racks up medical or school bills someone is responsible. Essentially we will support ourselves but my savings is not enough over the poverty line to prove it now. When I get a job in the US before he comes plus with his savings we will be able to support ourselves. But does my mom need to say that if we need it she will be giving us financial support monthly? 

 

Thank you for your help!!!

Scanned documents are acceptable in some consultes. From the consulate where I processed mine, they wanted the originals which means 'wet signature'. Check with your consulate first or try to look for people who recently had theirs processed in the same consulate where you're doing yours.

Yes, it is. All the financial support documents that the primary sponsor (you) will provide should also be provided by the co-sponsor. That means all forms, w2, paystubs, tax form 1040, employment certificate (if it applies), social security benefit statement (if it applies).

She is 'co-sponsoring' your fiancè so the answer here should be a "yes".

Better write it down that she will help rather than take a risk and not put anything and you end up asking for help anyway. Sure we want to be positive and try our best not to ask for help esp financially but nobody knows what the future holds, I would say she mention on the form that she will help provide for whatever's lacking in the beneficiary's necessities.

This depends on your arrangement and the extent of help you are willing to ask from your mom.

 

Best of luck.
