I-134 Co-sponsor supporting documents required

[generic_user25 0]

We have an upcoming K-1 interview and now we are stressing out because we might not have enough required documents from the I-134 co-sponsor. I called the embassy and they told me I would need the I-134 form signed by the co-sponsor. I then asked if I would need to present a W-2 form or a photocopy of their passport. She said no, that we'll just need the I-134 form. I asked if the I-134 form needs to be notarized, she said they don't require that any more.

So when I talked to the co-sponsor, I told him to send the I-134 form (which he already had notarized), and his w-2 form, despite the fact the person at the embassy told me it wasn't needed. That's it.

But after talking to my fiancee, she is really worried that they are going to ask for these other documents. Its too late to get them sent, and not to mention expensive and uncomfortable to ask for more favors, the only way would be to re-schedule the interview for a second time, which will probably not look good in the eyes of the embassy.

Any general advice out there, or anyone had a similar experience? Can the people answering the phones at the Lima embassy be trusted at their word? If the interviewer asks for more documents, should we even bother relaying what the person on the phone said?

We got approved!

In my case, they basically said I qualified on my own, but took my co-sponsor documents anyway.

They had no problem with the co-sponsor docs I presented though (see previous post)

It's all case by case and CO by CO!
