Greetings,

Currently I'm a graduate student living on savings and part time work, but am below the income requirements support wise for my wife coming in on a K3 (I graduate at semester's end and income won't be a problem). My mother has stated her willingness to sponsor us financially, however, I do not live at the same address as she does and as a couple my wife and I would not live at that address. Is that problematic?

Regards, J

Your mother can sponsor your wife, yes, regardless of whether you are living with her or not.

That's good to know.

Now, last bit of confusion - the embassy uses the I-134. Unlike the I-864 where there's an I-864a for a sponsor to fill out, I don't see and equivalent form for use when the I-134 is required. In my situation, what would that mean? That my mother acting as the sponsor fill out I-134 and send it and I send nothing?

That's exactly right. You're going to make Aussie so proud for getting that concept on the first go 'round. Way to go!
