When does my fiancee need the I-134?

[ayamani 0]

Hello Everyone,

I've got a simple question. When does my fiancee actually need to submit

the I-134? She's gotten the packet in the mail after the NO2 from the

Consulate, but we wanted to know when the I-134 was needed by the consulate.

Is any financial support documentation before the interview? Any help would

be greatly, greatly appreciated! = ) Thank you.

during her interview to the consulate.. she will be ask to submit your I-134 (affidavit of support) along with your W2.

good luck!

The I-134 is to be filled out by the US citizen. It is to show financial support for the immigrant, so that the consular officer is sure that he/she will not become a public charge once moving here. The US citizen will fill it out and mail it to the immigrant, then it is to be brought to the visa interview at the US Consulate.

If you do not make the minimum required income (which is right around 17k right now) you will need a second person to also fill out the I-134 as a cosigner.

Thank you for the responses thus far. So any form of financial support documentation won't be

required until the interview date, not prior? Just making sure. Thank you! = )

Your fiancee must submit the I-134 at the time of the interview. Be sure that she has your pay stubs, W-2 (last three years), bank statements, employment letter stating date of hire, salary, etc. I was not asked to show half of the financial information. However, it is better to be over prepared. Here is the link for K-1 beneficiaries (US Embassy in New Zealand).

Correct.

It is needed for the visa interview at consulate.

One thing about I-134, the directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

In our case this what the I-134 included.

• I-134 signed and notarized.

• SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

• Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)

• Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.

• Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.

My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

If your income exceeds 125% of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.
