Financial support proof at interview in Havana

[hjmartinez 0]

I'm trying to prepare for my fiance's interview at the consulate in Havana, preparing the financial information that my fiance will need. For those of you who have already been through the interview, could you tell me: What forms does the US Interest Section require at the interview for proof of financial support? What income level will I have to prove? Do they require the I134 or any other documents? I heard that different consulates set different income minimums, and some consulates are stricter than others. Does anyone have an an idea of what this is like in Cuba? I'm a student, so I'm kind of worried about this and want to get all the information I can.

Thanks so much for any help you can give me with this!!!

never heard of different income levels used by different embassies... google I-864P and see the chart that's in that form; that's the official one that's supposed to be used by every embassy. They require a I-134 along with supporting documentation such as Letter from employer stating how much you make, how long you have been employed with them. A letter from the bank stating how long you have been a member and what is the current balance of your accounts, and most important of all W-2 and tax returns for the last three years. Double check this info by reading the first two pages of the I-134 everything you need is there. If you don't have enough income see if you can find someone that makes enough money BUT remember they now have to make enough money for 3 people (you, your fiance(e) and themselves) if you are still confused just search the forums on the main page and you will see plenty of posts regarding I-134. Just don't take this lightly because the approval of your application not only relies on the evidence of your relationship (if they think its real or not) but also on your ability tu support him/her when they get here so that they don't become a liability to the rest of the working, tax paying people (sorry just wanted to sound American there)

The I-134 that you must send to your fiance is not a legally binding document. However, most Embassies require it. They will use the criteria set by the I-864 (which is filed at AOS and is legally binding) as a way to be sure that your fiance will not become a public charge once in the United States.

Most will require that you either meet the minimum requirement or that your income plus your liquid assets will. A co-sponsor can also be used at most Embassies.

I'm not sure if the Cuban Regional Thread is active but if you check out the Embassy Info/Reviews link above, you are sure to find the information you need.

FYI: according to the I-134 instructions....
