I-134 Co-Sponsor Form

[kate&javi 26]

Hi VJers,

Since I live and work overseas in my fiance's country and don't make enough money to hit the poverty level by US guidelines, my mom is going to be our co-sponsor. When my dad sent my petition to USCIS, my mom put her I-134 form and supporting documents INSIDE my petition folder (even though I asked her to please not do that). I'm afraid that they will throw it away because they do not need it at USCIS (read that somewhere on the forum). She seems to think that they will send it with the petition package to the Embassy here when it's time for our interview. She talked with an immigration lawyer who told her that she was ok to send it in the petition package. Well, I only want to know if they will throw it away. I know it's impossible to know for sure, but I'm worried that IF they throw it away, we won't have it when we go to the interview. She tells me not to worry, but I tried to explain to her that I won't know 100% sure that it will be included in the petition package sent here and it's better to send me another form, just in case. She is worried to send it to me here because she's super paranoid.

Anyone have an idea if they will throw it away?

I do not think they threw it away, but I doubt they paid any attention to it. It is not required to file with the I-129F petition. The I-134 needs to be taken and given to the consulate when you have your interview. She will need to mail you new, updated forms. She needs to put in a letter from employer, the most recent year's tax transcript and a few months worth of her most recent pay stubs. She will also need to send proof of being a USC or LPR with a copy of her birth certificate, naturalization, bio page of US passport or front and back copy of green card.

You are the primary sponsor and will still need to fill out your own I-134 too, even if you have 0 income. If you have not filed taxes, you will need to write a statement explaining why you were not legally required to file a tax return.

If she is paranoid about the mail, she will need to spend a little more to send it through a courier service overnight, or 2 day express. Something that gets it there fast and must be signed for in order to know it arrived. I would not use regular mail.
