Do I have to put my dad as a Co sponsor?

[gedaa86 5]

Hi Everyone,

I am soo excited I got my approval yesterday, July 25, 2013 after waiting 6 whole months. So Now I need to fill out form I-134 but I have a question. Last year I was going to school and working part-time so my dad included me as a member of the house hold in his tax papers because I wasn't making enough money to file on my own. But starting Feb 1, 2013 I had a full time job that pays higher than the poverty line. So for the supporting documents for form I-134, are my pay stubs enough? or should my dad also fill out the I-134 and Co-sponsor me and my Fiance?

Thanks so much

I think the right way will be to fill out one I-134 from you as a primary sponsor and one from your dad as a co-sponsor for your fiancee. Fill all requered information on that and attach suppurting documents such as income tax, pay stubs, bank acc etc. your dad has to provide his information on his affidavit of support and has to provide yours on your affidavit for support for your fiancee. That's how I think it is. cause I recently filed my petition and I will deal with it later. I might be wrong in my thoughts but would like to know more on this, because I have almost simmilar situation like yours. But I also have a quistion about it. If the co-sponsor is married DOES HIS WIFE HAS TO FILL ONE I-134 FORM ALSO?

As long as you are earning above the poverty guidelines then I don't think there will be any need for you to request your father to be a co-sponsor.

Problem is, you likely don't have any tax returns to show. So get a letter together from your office which states your position, sallary, start date, ect. This might help.

You can always use your dad as a co-sponsor to be on the safe side though.
