Why would you think that? Pray share the source of your expertise.

Read the I-864 Instructions for using assets to replace income. This link:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864.pdf

Page 9, Sections 28 and 29.

I do not claim the I-864 is the proper instructions for applying assets to the I-134. There is no such instruction as stated earlier.

Perhaps that is because it is down to the Consulate, not USCIS?

So you quoted numbers, you expect presumably the OP to act on them, where do you get them from?

You know the OP does not have those resources.

The DOS always adjudicates the I-134 a USCIS form. Every single person at VJ uses the I-864 instructions and I-864P when making the I-134 decisions such as using a joint sponsor since the I-134 does not anywhere reference a joint sponsor.

Well it definitely is NOT even close to GBP 4,000.

Where did you get your numbers?

Hi all, well it's safe to say I wouldn't be able to make it on assets alone - I reckon that by the time I get the interview (lets say August for example) I'll have the equivalent of $8500 or $9000 US in the bank that I can show the interviewer. That then doesn't count the various things I'll have to sell before leaving (such as my car) which will easily take the total over $10'000 - hopefully to more like $12'000. But I know that'll be secondary to her I-134 so we have to see what she can find in the way of work before then.

I wrote to the "Immigrant Visa Branch" at the Embassy a few days back requesting the extension of the NOA2 expiry date. Just waiting to see what the response will be.

A technical point...It's Embassy, not Consulate. Embassies are in the Capital city and Consulates are in other major cities. You may have meant the "Consular Section".

I did not use the 864 instructions.

As far as numbers, other People including myslef who self sponsored

And no DOS doesn't adjudicate the I134. The visa unit at individual consulates don't even have to use the form. Many do not.

It is absilutely positively certain that every single I-134 submitted to a US Embassy/Consulate or Mission is adjudicated by DOS. DOS typically requires I-134 for Non-immigrant Visas and the I-864 for Immigrant Visas.

So for a total of 4,000 GBP, the DOS let you self-sponsor yourself into the US? Your lack of credibility is extended with each posting you make.

Not every consulate does things the same way, Audy_Rob. Just because you personally have not heard of something does not mean it is not so.

Agree with JohnnyQ on this one. Guayaquil (Ecuador) may not even look at the I-134. No interviewees there have even had it mentioned one way or the other, to my vigilant knowledge. JQ is correct on this issue.

You obviously have no clue, which is no issue to me, but you are providing misinformation to somebody who may suffer the consequences. That I find distasteful.

I would have to believe that meeting the requirements of the I-134 to prove that the intended immigrant (K-1s are non-immigrant visas but the DOS states are treated as intended immigrants) will not become a public charge. It simply is not reasonable that the I-134 has already undergone scrutiny before the face to face interview process.

How can it when the affidavit isn't even presented UNTIL the interview?

I'm more confused now than I was when I opened the thread, seems this isn't an issue with a set answer! Sorry for kindling an argument, everyone.

Assuming the expiry date on the NOA2 gets extended I'll just show up at the interview with the I-134 and hope for the best!

[Audy_Rob 26]

The face to face interview will occur after the Consular Officer has studied all of the forms and evidence. The documents are not submitted at the same moment there is the face to face interview with the CO.

I am sorry that you do not believe this was of any help. If you do not mind, I would appreciate it if you either post the outcome of your experience here after the interview or you can PM me if you do not want it public.

Thanks very much and good luck.
