Ahhh that pesky 1-134

[Danno 1,228]

I am heading to Russia next week and I thought I would bring documents with me, I suspect my 2nd notice will arrive during this travel period.

Couple brief questions on the i-134

sec 1.A (instructions) states a separate affidavit shall be filled for each person.

Should I assume a child riding on the mothers k-1 Visa does not require a separate affidavit??

Section 2 says; a sponsor must submit in *duplicate*evidence of income and resources, as appropriate.

What exactly does this "Duplicate" mean? Since I am self employed, should I print two copies of my 06 taxes?

And Have my banker make two copies of the letter verifying account info?

On the part of the i-134 to be filled out;

at section 7. where it asks about my income (I have included a copy of my taxes) do they want my income after all deductions are made and I am left with my taxable amount?

Of course there is also a place to include real estate value and mortgage balance. Is there no request for proof of this or are they "taking the applicants word" on this?

As to question 10.

It asks if I have submitted a visa petition on behalf of the following persons...

Does this pertain to a possible person before filling for this K-1?

I would *not* put my fiances name in there?

Anyone than can help, in whole or part, I would be grateful,

Danny

1. I would consider a child to be a seperate person from the mother, so I would recommend filing two I-134 Affadavits of Support.

2. Duplicate means two copies. Attach two copies of all evidence to the form. Since you have to file two I-134s, you will actually need four copies of all evidence.

3. Gross Income. If your income is derived from a job, the yearly amount that you are paid from that job from the letter is typically what that is.

4. I would include something like your property tax statement which should show your property's assessed value, and mortgage statement.

5. Who have you petitioned for? Past and Present. For example, you should put your fiancee and her child down, plus if you have filed before, any other names.

AND does this document go with her to the interview or sent to the service center?

Your fiancee will need it for the interview, possibly sooner.

In my case, my fiancee needed it so that she could give to VFS 10-15 days prior to the interview; and will use it in the interview as well.

Danny,

It seems that some consulates ask for a separate I-134 for each visa applicant, others will accept one I-134 covering the the K1 and the K2s.

Good question about the documentation in duplicate. My personal thought, based on my own experience and the anecdotal evidence that I've seen, is that this is an obsolete instruction that's never been changed, and only one set of documentation needs to be submitted to the consulate. One should be prudent, however, and be ready for a surprise.

They want your income, not your business' income. You, not your business, are the sponsor. Line 22 on the 1040.

Any information that you provide should be supported with appropriate documentation, otherwise the information will not be taken into account in the evaluation.

I take question 10 at face value - list anyone who you have submitted a petition for. Although I have seen many people report that they put 'none' here and it has not been an issue.

I would also recommend you post in the Russian regional forum as there are people there with "hands on" experience with Moscow.
