I-134 Question #8: That the following persons are dependent upon me for support. Mark an "x" for wholly or partially dependent.

I should preface this with the fact that I live/work in Vietnam and have the pleasure of spending everyday with my fiancee.

My fiancee lives in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and her family lives in Can Tho (4 hours away). When we met she was working full-time to support herself and her English school education. However, since our engagement I have taken on full support of her (i.e. rent, food, fuel, cell phone, etc) and she stopped working in August of 2005.

In my logical thinking I view her as wholly dependent upon me. However, the I-134 example form had a "NONE" answer for question #8.

The DS-156 lists some questions regarding current occupation/school for the fiance. Seeing that she lives away from her family and attends an expensive English school in the city, I thought perhaps the consulate might inquire as to how she is supported if she hasn't worked since August of 2005.

Is there a solid answer for this question? Do you find listing her as wholly dependent for question #8 alarming or unreasonable? Is there anyone with experience on this issue?

I'm wondering the same thing, but I read the instruction @

http://www.***removed***/visas/visitor/i134.html

I claim my step sister in my 2005 tax income. I put her name there and check whole dependent. I'm not sure if I answer Q#8 correct. I don't know if I should check partly or wholly. My fiancee will have the interview soon. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Goodluck to you and hopefully your fiancee will get the visa in hands soon.

The question has to do with the tax returns. If you claim dependents on your return, you list them. It relates to the income needed to sponsor your wife or fiancee. Meaning if you claim 2 dependents on your tax return, add your fiancee or wife (and her children if any) and you will have the total number, then you must make the level on the poverty level chart.

K-1 Timeline in Profile (our story)

Church wedding Sept 18

NOA1's for AOS/EAD received Sept 20 MSC #

Biometrics completed Nov 5 2004

EAD Approval Dec 29 2004

AOS appointment letter received Feb 3 2005

AOS interview scheduled for March 9 2005

AOS interview mostly fine, just need I-693 supplement filled out by civil surgeon

Spend another $40 for I-693 form, sent to local USCIS office registered mail, arrived March 11 2005

AOS finally approved March 25th 2005

Green card arrives about 10 days later

!!Green card has incorrect middle name!! Thanks USCIS

Travel back to Denver, turn in card and I-90 to correct their mistake.

Application accepted, asked for I-551 stamp, they told me "We don't do stamps anymore"

NOA1 for I-90 received from NSC April 18 2005, fee waived

NSC appears to have stoped processing I-90's

Marilyn needs to travel back to the RP, call Senators office for help with green card or I-551 stamp

Travel back to Denver July 1, 2005 and received I-551 stamp in the passport.

It all makes sense now! Thanks for clearing things up. Sometimes the process gets our thinking so muddy that it helps to lean on a fellow member to clear things up!
