hello my name is avelino a US citizen

I currently graduated from the philippines I live with my parents im planning to file a petition for my fiance she is in the Phlippines right now I am confuse wit I-134 affidavit of support. can I still file a fiance visa petition for her even if I didn't work for 4 years? I have no tax return to show to the USCIS because I was out of United States for school. I do have work right now but under an agency its a temporary job but they cut some taxes from me. Can I use my parents to help file an affidavit of support or be a co sponsor for my fiance? can I include them? What are the steps should i do? what are the forms do I have to fill out or my parents? thanks for you help

If you can't meet the 125% income requirement, then you will need a co-sponsor that can meet the requirement. Any co-sponsor would need to fill out their own I-134 and provide proof to support their claims. It doesn't matter what your past income is. They are only worried about your current income. For two people living in the household, you would need to earn a minimum of $18,212 per year. Add an additional $4,675 per person to your minimum income for each additional person living with you.

thanks but what about the I-864 do my parents still have to fill them out? and by the way when they fill out their own I-134 do I combine their income or separate? thanks

Since you're inquiring about your parents filling out forms, I take it that you're unable to meet the 125% income requirement on your own and need a co-sponsor. The I-864 won't become necessary until after the beneficiary (your fiancee') enters the U.S. and marries you. The I-864 is only for the Adjustment of Status. At that point, any co-sponsors that were listed in the K-1 process will need to fill out their own I-864. Such is the case with the I-134. You should not include any financial statements on any form other than your own. Your parents, presuming they are acting as your co-sponsor, should fill out and provide supporting documentation for their own I-134.
