I-134 Form, question 11

[CoffeeMuse 5]

I have a question regarding the I-134 forum. Question 11 states "I __ intend __ do not intend to make specific contributions to support of the person(s) named in item 3.

It appears that question 11 is aimed at those sponsering family members or relatives etc, and not a fiancee. Therefore, I should check X for I do not intend to make specific contributions... because the affidavit is in support of the person I intend to marry and live with and support as a spouse. Is that the correct understanding of this?

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

This is the place to post your experiences or questions related to this last step before moving to the US. Topics relating to I-134's, packets sent from consulate and medical & police certificates should be posted here.

You need to choose that you DO INTEND to make specific contributions to their welfare. You're going to be providing for your fiance's needs, specifically whatever needs she may have that would force her to become a public charge if not met.

Make sure you select DO INTEND.

It makes no sense. Why have the option to check one or the other? Obviously the purpose it to support, but in this case if you read the details it asks for you to give specific ammounts in US dollars etc. It seems if it is for a fiancee, then the duration is for life.

I thought the same thing and checked the example given for this form. In that area someone didnt check either box and typed in the following:

N/A ( K1 visa process for permanent residence )

Hi, there are many different factors in play here. Some are more important than others.

1) You appear to be applying at the London Embassy. So the USC should fill out the "I intend" bok because that is the only answer the London Embassy will accept. (This does not apply necessarily for other Embassies/Consulates but I still think it is the best answer.)

2) Because it is a K-1 visa and it is a lifelong commitment, a good answer on the three lines after checking "I intend to:" would be something general, do not specify specific amounts nor mention any time frame. Something such as "I intend to:" "provide food, housing, <other 1>, <other 2>, etc... for beneificiary <enter name>."

You can go to the London Forum and you will discover other Londoner's that inform you London has been instructed to accept only tyhe "I intend."

Good luck.

Well, I'll fill out the form as necessary but my common sense reading of the question was that it was intended for those sponsering family members or relatives etc etc who may need financial support and/or housing until they establish themselves.

This is for a K1. I have checked "I intend" and simply put "all expenses as necessary". It is difficult to put any specifics down as when you marry someone it is integrated into your own living costs (ie, housing, meals, etc)
