I-134 (Merged threads)

[jayhayman95 0]

Hello, so my fiancee and I just received her case number from the NVC ans they are forwarding our case to the embassy in her country. My question is for the I-134 affidavit of support I should meet 125% of federal poverty guidelines. I live with my mom and dad still and obviously they provide for themselves.  So when calculating how much i should make a year to meet 125% of the federal poverty guideline do I consider the household size to be 1 or 3? Does my parents count since they provide for themselves or is it only my fiancee and I?

For the income requirement, is it gross income that they want to know?

So my fiance is preparing for her interview and I need to send her my form I-134 and tax returns. Can I scan them and send it to her via email so she can print them?

My fiance is preparing for her interview and they told her to bring all original documents but does that include the originals from me like my tax returns or can they accept photo copies? I don't want to have to send all this stuff by mail to my fiance

While your assertion of 100% for K1 is technically correct, in practice it is not. Consular Officers know the I-864 comes next, so they don't typically issue visas unless the sponsor qualifies comfortably OVER the 125%.  This is one of the situations where instructions don't match real life.
