I-134

[Nicola & Matt 1]

Hello

I am reading through the step by step K1 visa guide (i received my NOA2 mid December) and i have got to the section:

- What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2)

One of the things on this list is an I-134 form. The USCIS website doesn't tell you where to file this form as it depends on where the non US citizen resides and which form has been filed. The form we have filed so far is the I-129F and I live in the UK

Does my fiance need to complete this and collect all of the evidence and send it to me to take to the interview or does he need to file this himself in the states?

Please help!

Thanks

Nicola

I-134 is Affidavit of Support it is not filed for K-1 Visa but should be presented at the embassy interview. So the USC should complete it gather all of the required evidence and send it to the beneficiary.

Your fiance(e) will fill out the form and evidence and send the entire application in to USCIS for processing. It would also be helpful for you to make a copy of all documents and proof sent for your records and interview process later on.

The answers is yes. Your fiance(e) needs to complete everything and send it to both you AND USCIS.

Here's the UK answer--

Each embassy handles things differently so you can leave the generic VJ guides at this point and prepare for your next step using London guides. The I-134 and two proofs of income is all you need from your fiance. You will take it to the interview. You will NOT need a copy of the NOA2, a copy of the I-129F packet, his birth certificate, or proof of your ongoing relationship for London. In four years on VJ and 500+ reviews of interviews, I've never known anybody who needed that.

London will not send you a "packet". You will get a letter saying we have your petition so use the website for instructions and forms. Here's your starting place. http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html

Here's my personal tips:

Advance preparation for the London part of the K1 process

When your NOA2 is near, it’s a good time to start your preparation.

Petitioner:

1. Order your tax transcripts. Only the most recent tax return is required, but you can order three years at a time for free from the IRS. Tax transcripts are summaries of your whole tax return provided free by the IRS. They can't be faked because it's a copy/summary of your whole tax return picture, basically certified by the IRS because it's issued by them. That's why you don't have to include any 1040, Schedules, W2s or 1099s if you send a transcript. They are free from the IRS. Transcripts take the place of sending a complete tax return.
   If you call 1-800-908-9946 (the transcript line) , there is an automated system for ordering transcripts. You'll have to enter your Social Security number and the numbers of your street address. It will generate an automated request to mail your transcripts. You can also order online on the IRS website http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=232168,00.html
   
2. Start filling out the I-134 Affidavit of Support. It will have to be signed and mailed to the UK the slow way. Get familiar with the form. When the NOA2 is received is a good time to finalize it with the supporting documents and get it in the mail.
   

UK beneficiary:

1. Get some passport photos taken. You will eventually need
   2 US sized for the Embassy
   1 UK sized for the police certificate
   1 either size for the visa medical exam.
   (and for AOS in the US, 6 more US sized photos)
   
2. Go to your NHS doctor and get the immunizations you will need for Adjustment of Status. You can get a K1 visa without having any shots, but you will need them before AOS. It’s really wise to take care of it before getting to the US. Many NHS doctors will do them for free, but they are not obligated to do so for immigration purposes. If you had theses shots as a child, Tdap/Td must be no longer than 10 years ago or you have to do them again. Get the shots documented by your doctor to take to your visa medical exam. Here’s the shots needed for 19 through 59 years of age:
   Td or Tdap - Maybe not available in the UK, so get DT, DTP or DtaP and it will be accepted for AOS
   MMR (if born in 1957 or later) Get a second shot 4 wks later if you have time
   Varicella – Not routinely given in the UK ; a history of having chickenpox excuses you from the shot. They take your word for it at the visa medical exam.
   Influenza - During flu season only, October 1 through March 31. This was a new recommendation dated November 2010 for all ages over 6 months. Older lists will say flu shots for over age 50. It changed.
   
3. Order your police certificate. It takes some preparation because you need a passport photo signed off on by somebody officialish who’s known you two years. Here’s the application. Read the instructions. A police certificate is good for 12 months. Must take it to medical exam. http://www.acpo.police.uk/documents/Application_Form.pdf
   
4. Look at your passport and make sure it will have 8 months remaining after visa issuance. If not get it renewed now. If you've damaged it or gotten it wet, it will need to be renewed.
   
5. Study the list of original documents London wants you to bring to the embassy and get those in hand or ordered. http://london.usembassy.gov/interview_documents.html
