I-134 Co Sponsor Question

[kofilovesama 4]

Hello vj'ers! The ghana embassy told my fiancee that the $45,000 i made last year wasnt enough money. that i need a cosponsor. i aslo showed 90K in business assets in machinery. anyway my father is going to sponsor us. I am assuming he is filling the form out for her and not me. on question 3 its asking ''relationship to sponsor'' anyone have any suggestions what they put? ''sons fiancee'', future daughter in law, daughter in law to be... i have no idea what to put.

thanks in advance to those kind peeps who help!

When my sister filled out the form to co-sponsor my fiancée, she put "brother's fiancée" for that question. I hope your father also has to put Son's fiancée. Since you are not married yet, your father can't use son or daughter-in law terms.

Good Luck

It is the realtionship to YOU, the sponsor, they are asking for. "Father" is the correct answer.

If they do not think $45,000 in income and $90,000 in assets is enough there are other problems you are not aware of yet. The requirement for income for the I-134 is not specified, actually, we usually assume it is the same as for the I-864 but it is not. It is up to the discretion of the consulate, plain and simple, to determine that your fiance will not become a public charge. There is no specific amount, no goal line to cross and you "win" However $45,000 is far above the guidelines for a family size of two, if they are using this excuse, what else is wrong? Keep in mind also that for a K-1, the I-134 is only valid for a few months, tops, until it is superceded by the I-864 and your fiance/spouse cannot even remain in the USA unless approved under a different affidavit. To suggest that $45,000 is not enough to keep someone off welfare for 3-4 months is preposterous. But it is an easy "out" for the consulate.

Unless you have a bunch of children you are also supporting. ???

This is exactly what I was thinking. Many I-134's go through Accra with the petitioner making much less and there is no issue about sponsorship.

There has to be something else going on.

so you are saying at the beginning of the question when it says ''this affidavit is executed on behalf of the following person'' my father puts my name? as the petitioner? and not the fiancee?

and no i have 0 kids just me

It is on behalf of (fiance name)

His relationship to the sponsor (you) is "father" That was your question.

They look at 3 years in Accra- from our experience.... so its not just last year's income.
