I-134 Questions

[♥Yllen 3]

Hello people. Since we recently got our NOA2, we´re preparing for the next step, and we have some questions about the I-134.

(Since my fiance (Petitioner) does not meet the income requirements, someone is cosponsoring for us).

Question #1: How much does co-sponsor need to make? (He will be co-sponsoring me and my daughter, and he has a son of his own).

Question #2: Besides the I-134 form, what else is required to submit if only the Co-Sponsor´s income will be use?

Question #3: Forms need to be notarized?

Thank you!

The co-sponsor needs to make the same as a sponsor would in this situation. The guidelines are here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

Since there are four of you, he needs to make $27,937.

You need the same type of documents as you would if he were the sponsors: copies of recent pay stubs / letter from employer / tax returns or transcripts, etc. Depending on your consulate - you will likely need only two of those things.

Nothing needs to be notarised. All the best!

sorry I am not using a co sponsor and in my case is only my fiance and myself so I dont exactly know what would it be like for you.

what I do know is that the minimun annual income required for 2 people is around 18k per year. So I would assume that for 4 has to be over 30k.

the form does not have to be notarized ....and besides the I 134 your sponsor needs to provide either pay stubs, letter from his/her current job stating how much he earns a year and wether the job is temporary or permanent), bank statements, real state documents if he ows a house...everything that you can think of! Is better to bring everything just in case! good luck!

Double check with consulate - very few (if any?) require your to have six - seven different forms of income!

Note that also - if your income is fine - you don't need to prove assets, real estate, etc. That's only if your income falls short and you CAN make up the difference with assets.

Thanks, I´ll be interviewing in Argentina. The thing is that packet 3 instructions, (which comes in english and spanish) in english states:

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT: You must submit any evidence which will show that you and members of your family who will accompany you are not likely to become public charges while in the United States. Visa petitioner (US Citizen) will have to complete form I-134. If the petitioner does not qualify as a sponsor, a Joint-Sponsor should ALSO be presented (any US Citizen living in the US or Legal Permanent Resident), who will also have to complete form I-134. Both, the Sponsor (Petitioner) as well as the Joint-Sponsor, will have to present last year`s income tax return and proof of current and sustainable income (e.g letter of employment on letterhead including salary and start date, most recent salary receipts, bank accounts, value of properties, etc.)

But spanish translation in that part only mentions that both Sponsor and Co-Sponsor must submit the final tax return (Form 1040 and W2), and doesn´t mention anything else!...

thanks! I guess I would have to call, I was wondering that exactly, I just have The letter from his employer, bank statements and the I134, the good thing is that he makes a lot more than the minumun required so hopefully that will be enough. I will double check though. THANK U!
