Co Sponsor on I-134

[norotonfd 1]

For saftey sake, I am having my mother as a co-sponsor for my fiance.

I have read in many posts that if you fiance will remain in the United States forever, you would put an x next to "I do not intend to make specific contributions"

My question is do either of us have to make specific contributions?

From most posts I have read.....no you dont have to. The I-134 is used for many visa types and contributions with other visas can be required. With K visa's it appears not.

norotonfd,

No, you don't have to make specific contributions. But unless hes has a lot of money saved, how's he going to feed, clothe, and house himself until he can get a job if you don't?

I used my brother as a cosponsor just in case I needed it (I live and work overseas), and he chose "do not intend" to make specific contributions.

For my I-134 I checked "I do intend" and then wrote in "whatever my fiancee needs for basic subsistence"

We had no problems in the process and the I-134 was never brought up or asked about.

I'm filling out I-134 now for upcoming wife's K3 interview next Wednesday and I have a co-sponsor who has already filled out his I-134. I'm using Nolo Press book "Fiance and Marriage Visas" that has line by line instructions for forms. For this question book says: "Enter N/A (Not Applicable). This is only for visitors who are truely temporary, such as tourists." Seemed a little strange to me, but I'm hoping it's correct because that's what both I-134s will say.

Can any wise person share some wisdom on this?

The I-134 is used primarily for non-immigrant visas such as visitors etc that are temporary....K visa's on the other hand whilst they are non-immigrant visas, are processed in many ways as an immigrant visa. The I-134 is not a requirement for K visas but it is however in many cases used by consulates to help in assertaining whether or not an applicant will or wont become a public charge.

Have a look at the example I-134 form here in VJ http://www.visajourney.com/examples/I-134-exp-04-30-07.pdf
