I'm currently filling out my Affidavit of Support and I'm on page 4, part 3, item 38. I have check the, "I intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person named in part 2." I am unsure how to write these contributions, what to or not to say. I will be supporting my fiancee 100% until he is stable and working. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You are not making SPECIFIC contributions......

We put "N/A (K-1 Visa)" as K-1 is a dual intent visa. It's immigrant and non-immigrant.

We ticked the box for "I intend to make specific contributions" and didn't put any further information in part 7 and it was accepted fine.

 

I came to the London K1 interview with copies of 3 years of my American fiancée's (now wife's) tax returns and a load of pay slips and so much information, but the only proof of income they asked for was the affidavit of support and the letter from my fiancée's employer stating her job, salary and that she was full time permanently employed. However it's good to get that extra stuff together just in case they decide to ask for it, and you'll need tax return copies and wage slips for the Adjustment of Status affidavit of support, which is a different form.

 

In fact, for the K1 interview I only had a copy of the affidavit of support, not even the wet ink signed version (as we didn't have time for her to mail it to me) and they were perfectly fine with that. The regulations don't mandate a specific method for you to demonstrate sufficient financial resources to the immigration officer for a K1 visa - you just have to show it in some way to their satisfaction. Technically you don't even need to have an I-134 affidavit of support, however it's kind of the standard process for demonstrating income so I'd definitely recommend doing it that way. Again, the adjustment of status affidavit of support is a different form and is specifically required to be submitted, so this only applies to K1.

 

Anyway, hope that answers your question (and possibly some that you didn't even ask!)

A never ending contribution until they get adjusted

FWIW, I'm 100% convinced that for K-1s the answer to this question does not matter at all. There's no consensus answer here, it gets asked about all the time... and no one has ever reported an RFE based on it.
