Joint Sponsor or Household Member??

[Rossifan 0]

Hi all,

I wonder if someone can help me? I am preparing the next load of paperwork in preparation for the interview stage at the embassy and in preparing the I-134 I am a little confused as to the definition of a joint sponsor versus a household member. My fiance's Dad will be joint sponsoring us but as we would be living in the same house I am not sure if we should have him fill out as a joint sponsor or as a household member whose income you combine with my fiance's. Anyone know??

Also someone told me you need three years worth of tax returns but I can't see that stated anywhere in the guidelines. Am I missing something?

Any help would be really appreciated - thanks!

There's no place to put a household member's income on the I-134. Dad can fill out an I-134 if he wants to sponsor. You're thinking of the I-864 that will be filed with AOS.

London will approve with zero tax returns. This thread may be helpful to you. Lot's of London info for where you are now. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/

Also read the instructions for the I-134 and look at the form. If you have more questions about it and what London requires, ask in that thread. Each consulate is different.
