I-134a Questions for my girlfriend

[Savetheworld 0]

My girlfriend and I (A US Citizen) are planning on getting married in Ukraine in 2 months, and she will move in with me in the US.

 

Right now I am planning on doing the U4U route.

I am working on the I-134a form, and I am confused on a few things.

 

• Should I list her as a fiancee, or non-specified? Would they be suspicious for some reason?
• Can I put my business LLC under supporting organizations?
• Do I need to list my total income from last years tax return, or could I determine my own actual income?
• Can I list that I am a business owner as well as I work for a company once a month, under employment info?
• Can I list my cash as an asset? How do I prove I have cash?
• What am I supposed to answer under "A grant of parole is a discretionary determination granted on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. Please explain why a favorable exercise of discretion is merited for this individual."?

 

It has been very difficult to find someone to help me with this. Can someone please help answer these questions, or at least some of them, if possible?

Thank you very much..

When you submit the U4U application I assume she will be your wife.

• Can I put my business LLC under supporting organizations?

Not sure.

• Do I need to list my total income from last years tax return, or could I determine my own actual income?

Tax return information is usually preferred.

• Can I list that I am a business owner as well as I work for a company once a month, under employment info?

Sure, all sources of income should be listed.

• Can I list my cash as an asset? How do I prove I have cash?

Yes, bank records.

• What am I supposed to answer under "A grant of parole is a discretionary determination granted on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. Please explain why a favorable exercise of discretion is merited for this individual."?

Not Sure.

Good Luck!

The best answer for you is probably "get an immigration lawyer".

 

As far as I know, it's best not to mention that she's your girlfriend. They may think that the true reason she's coming to the US is to get married to you, which is not what U4U is for, so they may deny the petition.

 

As to the last question, you'll need to explain how she's been affected by the war. IIRC she has to be at least displaced to be eligible. So if she lives exactly where she used to live before the war and it's relatively far from the front line, then I don't think she'll get approved.

 

Again, it's probably best if you ask an immigration lawyer. Even though I once helped to prepare a successful U4U petition, I can't consider myself an expert in this.

One more thing: if you go the U4U route, I don't think you should get married before she moves to the US. Even after she moves, it's probably best to wait at least 3 months before getting married, otherwise you may have problems with adjustment of status. USCIS really does not like when you use a program intended for one thing to do another thing. The 3-month rule is not a hard rule AFAIK, and you could still successfully adjust status even if you don't wait 3 months, but in this case you'll certainly need a lawyer.
