My fiancé took a bus out of Ukraine and into Poland and I flew over there to get her. We spent a couple weeks in Poland having fun and yesterday we made it home. Customs in Chicago was pretty simple a

I'm not sure if I screwed myself here, but I put the wrong passport number in the I-134. I wish there was a phone number I could call about this

Beneficiary passport number? They can change it when they get to the next step.

Unfortunately she said that the input field was greyed out and couldn't edit it 😞

Could you call USCIS ? Hope you can change it and everything goes smoothly. It is very stressful process.

Just wanted to confirm with this group since I've heard some rumors about this.... That you need to fill out i-134 for every family member. So if it's a husband and wife, then you fill out two i-134's.

 

But when you apply online, it asked me about husband and wife. One person was the "main" beneficiary (I put down the husband) and you could "attach" family members to him. 

 

Is this correct for online? Do I need to fill out another i-134 for the wife?

 

Thank you everyone!

my partner got her travel authorization!!!

 

the only problem is that for whatever reason, they put the wrong birthdate on the authorization notice. I know we put the correct one on the forms, we both checked it like three times each. I should probably call to have them fix this, right? anyone else have any issues like this so far?

Yes. need a form for each person. Even minors from my understanding. Later your beneficiary will be able connect the them in a traveling together section.

does anyone know how to get through to someone at USCIS on the phone to fix an error on the travel authorization document for U4U? losing my mind because there's no option to request an error fix on I134 on the website and the automated system keeps kicking me off. 

 

insanely frustrating, clearly someone typed that form by hand because we made no such mistake ourselves

I made an error on my end and my beneficiary cannot correct it. 

 

I got ahold of someone at USCIS and they told me that they can't help me since it was submitted online. The person I had was rude and unhelpful. My suggestion is to keep calling and hopefully you get someone who isn't a ghoul.

I ended up getting through to someone. they said I have to talk to a tier 2 officer, who is supposed to return a call within 72 hours.
