Hello, everyone. I'm working on completing the new from I-134 affidavit of support so my fianc can hand it to the embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Now, my projected annual income for this year exceeds the 100% poverty guidelines they recommend, but my tax returns for the past three years leave room to be desired, 15k, 16k, and 12k, respectively.
While that shows steady employment throughout the years up to now, I don't want to take any chances...I was looking into adding my mother as a co-sponsor but I am unsure how to go about doing this on the i-134 form.
Does my mother and I need to fill out two forms (one each), or does she attach a written statement of her intentions to help support?
On the I-864 form at least there is a box to check if someone is a joint sponsor, but on the I-134 form, I'm not seeing anything, and seems to only want ME (the petitioner) and my fianc (the beneficiary) financial information.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hello everyone. I just started processing my K1 Visa. I am guessing we are all aware now how slow the VAC website is. So long story short, I was able to secure an appointment for VAC for biometrics and photo but the website crashed before I could make an appointment for my interview at the embassy. Now the customer service said that I have to close my application and start a new one. I did that but when I reached the payment option there is no option where I could put the receipt number since we already paid. CS said I have to wait 24 hours but its been 3 days and its still the same. I don't know what to do anymore.

Hi all,

I came across some info on the Enumeration Beyond Entry (EBE) process, which sounds like an SSN can be provided through USCIS and the AOS process, removing the requirement for a K1 to visit an SSA office pre or post marriage. Has anyone heard of this and knows if it is advisable? Info is:

You may not need to visit a Social Security office or Social Security Card center if you apply using the Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization), I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status), if you are approved for any of these applications through USCIS, and elected to apply for an SSN. USCIS will collect information on behalf of SSA to process the SSN card. [https://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm]

Under the Enumeration at Entry (EAE) program, any lawful permanent resident can apply for both an immigrant visa and a Social Security number (SSN) by filing an immigrant visa application (Form DS-230 or DS-260) at a Department of State (DoS) office in their home country. If the visa is granted, DoS transmits the identifying information from the person's visa application to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). [https://www.ssa.gov/faqs/en/questions/KA-10040.html#:~:text=Under the Enumeration at Entry,arrive in the United States.]

Thoughts would be appreciated!

Hello! I had accidentally received a 10 year card when I should have received a 2. I filed the i90 and was sent the correct 2 year CR1 card however when I come back to US the officer always sees me as IR1 even though I m CR1 and have received the new 2 year card.

I m applying for my i751 next month, will this cause a rejection? Do I need to check with USCIS to see if I ve been updated in their system?

Hi, we're just wondering if anyone has gone through this in the past 6 months or so via the Manila US Embassy?

We stupidly forgot to bring the original divorce decree. Because of holidays (interview was on 12/23), we were able to submit the original on 1/3.

Thanks
