I-134 Form

[Alejandra y Mario 1]

Hi all,

In item 11 of the I-134 form it says: "I intend / do not intend to to make SPECIFIC contributions to the support of the person(s)named in item 3. (the person in item 3 is my fiance)

My question is: Do I check "intend" or "do not intend"? (I don't like the word "specific" in this statement.)

I looked at a sample form from this website and the sample does NOT check any of the boxes and instead writes in the lines provided below item 11 "N/A (K1 visa for permanent residence)".

I feel iffy not checking any of the boxes but I also feel iffy about the use of the word "specific" in the statement.

What have others done? I know it's a silly tiny detail but I would feel much better if I knew what others have done in the past!

Thanks in advance!!

I checked intend. Seeing how she is going to be my spouse, I put that was going to contribute to housing, food, insurance, general well being related to marriage.

I did not check yes on that one because I was not ready to SPECIFY my contributions. I felt the same way about that word as you. I had read a lot of other people using that rational and it ended up being fine. Remember too that the I-134 is not actually required, it's just kind of a way to organize your supporting financial documents.

I checked 'Intend' and wrote: K-1 visa process for permanent residence ( provide all expenses as necessary )

Actually the I-134 IS required for Australia and many other embassies.. I was not aware that it was "not required" anywhere so it is best to not make a blanket "it's not required" statement and instead if it's not required for a specific embassy specify that country (I know the OP is from Mexico as are you but this isn't the Mexico sub-forum so random people - like me - will see it and wonder).

OP - Tony selected "intend" and wrote words to the effect of "I intend to support Vanessa indefinitely and marry her within 90 days of her arrival to the US".

**Edit - here's the packet instructions for Mexico: http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/root/pdfs/pk1iv.pdf

Vanessa&Tony: thank you for catching my mistake. Because I read this in the Mexico subforum I forgot to specify that I was indicating that "it is not required" for Mexico. I am aware that there are different requirements for different countries and because of that I will correct my post and be more specific next time.

The packet instructions only state that "The Affidavit of Support I-864 is not required." It actually doesn't mention anything at all about I-134. Other VJ members have mentioned using one or the other interchangeably as a way of presenting the evidence of economic solvency, although neither form are required by Mexico.
