I-134 is difficult to understand in K-1 context [merged threads]

[usaman1999 17]

There are some areas of the I-134 that are poorly phrased and don't seem to fit the K-1.

 

Part 2, page 3, Beneficiary's Income. It states "Income contribution to the beneficiary annually" does that mean the beneficiary's salary or earnings?

 

Part 3 page 6 the same thing "Income contribution to the Beneficiary Annually" same question.

 

Then under "financial responsibility to other beneficiaries" I don't know the exact date I filed the prior form for my ex wife in 2017. Can I estimate a date? Also I filed an affidavit in 1990 for my second wife. Do I have to list that?

 

Page 8, #24, Intent to make specific contributions to the beneficiary. " She is coming over as my fiancé and we are going to be married. This question does not fit well into that scenario.

 

Then the Beneficiary Statement on p. 8. I can't swear that the beneficiary can read and understand English fully. So should I list myself as an interpreter? Or a preparer?

From my understanding you can enter “0” since the beneficiary cannot legally work once they enter in the country. I’ll let one one of the senior VJers confirm that.

How much do you intend to provide to your fiancé until they can legally work? Do you intend to give them $100/week? 200?

You’re legally responsible for beneficiaries for up to 10 years, so I believe it needs to be listed within that time frame. AGAIN, leaving that to senior VJers.

It says to only complete this section if you, yourself are the beneficiary. You are not, you’re the petitioner. Skip to part 5.

This form is for you because you are the petitioner. Unless you need an interpreter  or preparer, skip and only answer the questions meant for the petitioner.

I have transcripts pulled off of the IRS website for the past 3 years. They are about 9 pages each year. Is this what they prefer? Or photocopies of the returns printed from the Turbo Tax website?

Transcripts for three years are preferred.

The I-134 is the form mentioned in all the guides that has to be turned in at the K-1 Visa Interview. I thought that the I-864 was the form used with adjustment of status.

That's correct.
