Should I send my I-134 Affidavit of Support with my I-129F

[sydney424 1]

My partner and I are ready to send out our I-129F, but we are concerned because of our income. I am finishing college and still working part-time so I know I do not meet the income requirement for the I-134. My parents have agreed to be our joint-sponsor and they meet well over the income requirement. I am afraid that our I-129F will be denied due to my lack of income currently. 

Do I need to include the I-134 for myself along with my parent's I-134, with our I-129F in the mail to prove we can support my partner? Is income a reason for the first round of paperwork (I-129F) to be denied?

 

Thank you in advance!

The i-134 has nothing to do with the i-129f, so your petition for sure won't be denied because of that.

 

The i-134 is needed at the embassy stage, so send it to your fiancé once it gets closer to the interview.

Think of the I-129f as the "permission to apply for the visa". It basically makes sure you (the USC) are qualified to petition (that you are, indeed, a USC, and engaged to the beneficiary.) The actual visa application is the next step, which is the step where you need to provide proof of income (or proof that you have a joint sponsor) etc.

the affidavit is only needed at the interview, plus only one of your parents can be the joint sponsor

I have a question about the i-134 that I hope maybe you can answer for me. I am currently living in Germany with my german fiance and working here, so I don't have income in the states, but just here in Germany. Can I file the i-134 with my German income? Or is it likely to be rejected because both I and my fiance will be jobless upon moving to the states? My Father is also willing to sponsor us, so would it be better and safer to just go with sponsorship right away? 

Thanks in advance for any advice!!!
