I-134 question?

[Kim and Nath 0]

So I finally got the NOA2 (yay!!), and I'm getting things together for the 2nd haul of this K1 process.

Regarding the I-134 form -

I'm a student, and I have been for the past 2.5 years. I graduate this May. Last year, I had 0.00 income, and used student loans + grants to fund education/living. My mother is co-signing and makes way over 5x the current poverty level.

I'm concerned about this from the guide tips for the I-134:

However, that IF the US fiance has been on welfare or other

government benefits for a lifetime or has no plans to work actively, the consulate can still deny the visa based on

the likelihood that the foreign fiance will become a public charge.

Are federal/state grants applicable here? I've had no income, but I will be graduating in May with a degree & minor in the sciences, which is a marketable degree. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for any help!

other

I don't imagine that fits your case.

Thruout the process it's VERY important to read EVERYTHING carefully and comprehend what they are saying.

As long as your embassy allows co-sponsors, AND your co-sponsor (your mother) meets the requirements of being 125% above the poverty limit, then you are fine.

I as well am a full-time student with zero to very little income the past three years and we were granted the visa.

I think that you being a student and using grants and loans to fund education and living has nothing to do with being on welfare or other government benefits for a lifetime. Although, I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Good luck!
