Completing I-134

[arh1 2]

Hi all. I have my K1 interview at the London Embassy on the 22nd August and we are just doing the I-134 just now (I did post similar in the K1 forum a couple of weeks ago although now realise that was the wrong forum).

In terms of background info, my fiancee lives in the UK with me just now (on a work permit) however has just resigned from her teaching position and so is unemployed prior to our move to USA. While she has some ($20,000) savings in the USA this is obviously not enough for the I-134/864 guidelines and consequently her Dad has agreed to file as co-sponsor.

My fiancees Dad is retired (with no pension) however has 2x large savings accounts, one with approximately $120,000 and the other with a few times that - trust fund. His 2010 tax return has not been completed yet whilst they wait for one of the bank to file information regarding the interest on the larger account.

Including me the houshold size owuld be 5 therefore I calculate the "income" required to be over $32712 (or 3/5x that when using assets).

In terms of filling out the I-134 is the below correct do you think?

Section 7:

First two lines regarding employment and employment address left blank or N/A.

I derive an annual income of - $0 [or interest? issue being 2010 tax return isn't ready yet so can't confirm officially]

I have deposit in savings of - $Greater than [$32712 * 5]? Proof would be financial statements and letters from banks.

Stocks and bonds - blank

Life insurance - blank

Own real estate worth $_ with mortgage of $_. Both blank as assets are above 5x

Does this look OK/sufficient?

Thanks again

Certainly sounds sufficient. You're right that it is 5x the amount that your fiancee's father will need to prove. I would estimate the interest income. Not sure exactly what kind of trust fund he has, so long as he can easily access that account it all sounds fine.

The I-134 is a bit more wishy-washy than the I-864, so on the one hand you probably don't need to worry too much about proving exactly what your fiancee's father's assets are but on the other hand you should still take care to make sure your fiancee's I-134 is as complete as possible. So don't neglect to include her tax returns and savings information.

Trust fund held by himself. The interest is transferred to his day-today-account monthly while the rest sits there. Can be accessed if required. Will append the 2009 tax transcript too for what its worth.

Including:

2009 Tax transcript (if relevant)

Statements and letter from Savings account detailing when opened/monthly ingoings/total yearly ingoing/current balance.

Statement from larger/trust fund account.

My fiancee is including Statements and letter from Savings account detailing when opened/monthly ingoings/total yearly ingoing/current balance for her savings account. And 2010 tax return - even if it only shows UK income as had no USA income.

Thanks
