Hello Everyone... I have a question about the I-134 Affidavit of Support. I am not currently working. I will be released to return to work in January of 2007. (I have been out of work due to a back injury.) Therefore, I have NO tax returns for the past year! We have been trying to find a co-sponsor, but... not much luck there!
My questions are: 1)... My Husband (from the UK) has about 5K pounds at the moment. Will that be enough for him to sponsor himself at his K-3 interview?
From what I can understand, it only has to be enough to get him through until he gets his work permit in the US???? 2) Is this true?
Any HELP in this matter will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! Thanks in advance for ANY info.! and... GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WAITING!!!!

If I were you, I would wait until January and are back to work to worry about filling out the I-864. Then you can get a letter from your employer stating that you are employed, earning x amount. You can explain your tax situation in a short letter. It is really best if you have a co-sponsor in this situation though.
No, when you sign the I-864, you are agreeing to support the immigrant until he becomes naturalized, leaves, dies, or works 40 quarters. The point of the I-864 is to provide evidence as you the sponsor being able to support the immigrant for this length of time. You can include the money as his assets though on the I-864, however, you are still the sponor.

Thanks for the response. I actually need to know about the I-134 for the K-3 Interview. I am aware that I will need to file the I-864 at the same time we file for his AOS, and have my employment information prepared etc. But... I just wanted to confirm if one of the posts that I read on this web-site was accurate about him being able to sponsor himself for the K-3 Interview at the Embassy (UK) with a certain amount of money in his bank account???
If so... that would be GREAT!... and it will also allow me more time to get my employment information ready for the BIG Affidavit of Support which will be coming up AFTER he receives his K-3.
Thanks again... ANY information about this would be GREAT! and GOOD LUCK on your Journeys!
JSPink,
Only the consular officer who reviews the financial information that your husband submits can answer your questions. That's the person who will make the decision.
