Best thing to do is call the embassy. Each one is different with the guidlines.

Good luck!!

Depends on the embassy - This is from the I-864 FAQ - they are free to follow their own guidelines. (we would need someone that went through the OP's embassy for this info)

Do the same income requirements apply to all immigrant visa applicants even if they use the I-134?

No. The 125 percent minimum income requirement, the most recent year's tax return and other requirements only apply when an I-864 is needed.

Applicants using the I-134 will need to show that their sponsor's income is 100 percent of federal poverty guidelines as required under Section 212(a)(4) of the INA.

No. They do not combine the incomes of two sponsors.

i do live in the same household as my parents, so that means they will count us both?

No. They do not combine the incomes of two sponsors.

What about assets? Does your mom have assets she can use? The consulates must decide that the intending immigrant will not become a public charge. They could, in theory, do this without proff of any income per se (In fact the state department manual specifically says so) but it is unlikely.

Since the I-134 instructions/guidance is sketchy, I will refer to the I-864.

It will allow you to combine, if you are in living in the same residence. With that being said, it really depends on the embassy, and what guildelines they are following. (if they use the I-864 for guidance, then they may require 125% of the poverty level)

Also, using the 864 - you would have a different household count size.

I suggest you read up on both the I-134/864 instructions, and find out what your embassy will require.

India.

Different kettle of fish. Three years tax returns will be required. Read for anecdotal evidence as to how sponsorship by individuals other than the petitioner is viewed.

No - at this stage you would use the I-134 - in the ruling/handbook for the State department, they refer to the I-864 (because eventually you will need to fill out the 864).

So, if you can meet the requirements for the 864, you will meet the requirements for the 134.

Again - you will need to find out what your embassy in India requires. They all vary on what they want.

After some more thought. Maybe this would work, and I welocme other comments on this idea.

I presume your father has income? Yes? Then why would he (or anyone else) be "dependent" on your mother? Just a thought. She can say no one is dependent on her but your fiance which means her family size is 2. Other thoughts?

Not on the I-134. The I-864, which you will have to do for AOS allows the inclusion of other household members. The I-134 does not have a section or provision for this. As R.Jo point out above, each consulate takes different views of co-sponsors and requirements for satisfying the qualifications. Some are very "loose" others very strict. From what I have read here, India is on the strict side.
