I-134 questions

[mhne 0]

On the I-134 declaration of financial support, should I include the names of my fiance's minor children who would be coming to the U.S. with her as dependents I support?  They are not listed as dependents on my taxes yet. 

 

Another question, Is there a way to include income and assets from others in my household but are not dependents, such as my mother?

Do you file taxes jointly with mother? I don't see how you would. So if you want her income considered, you'd need her to be a joint sponsor.

Do you have good enough income to sponsor? If yes, don't bother.

you need to list ALL children (yours and hers)

 

she needs separate I 134  not together unless you claim her on tax returns as dependent relative
