Help with I-134 form...

[samanthaR 0]

hello, i am an american citizen living in japan for the past 5 years. my fiance is a japanese citizen and we both hope to go back to the states within this year.

we are currently waiting for the 1-129f petition to be processed (sent out on 7/05/2012). in preparation for our next step, i have been looking at k1 process sites, and begun preparing the paperwork for the next stage in the process. included in many sites is the proof of financial support of the non citizen. my soon to be husband doesnt have an income and neither do i. i hope to have my sister who is financially secure back in the states, to be his sponsor, however in the i-134, under the relationship to sponsor bracket, filling it in with "friend" does not seem very effective.

in some sites ive read, some state that an i-134 is unnecessary. can anyone help me figure this one out? would appreciate it a bunch!!

You will always need a sponsor. Whether it is through the I-134 or the I-864 it depends on the consulate, essentially they are the same thing. The petitioner is always the main sponsor, regardless of income. Any citizen or US resident can be a co sponsor, they just need the proper forms and enough income.

thank you for the reply! i should contact the embassy to figure out which one they accept. i do not have any income and neither does my fiance. i figure this will be a problem. as a co-sponsor my sister would have to report her relationship to my fiance as merely a friend or is there a way around this?

Go to this site www.rapidvisa.com and ask them. U can ask unlimited questions and they will answer you for free. I used that site personally with my k1 petition.

It doesn't matter what the relationship is. People often have friends or family who help out. You can put future sister in law if you want.
