I-134 Affidavit of Support question

[Babe18 4]

Hi! Opinions please....

For a household of 5 (petitioner&beneficiary already included) is this OK?
Annual income - $53325
Real estate valued at - $162000
Mortgage - $ 134000

The annual income is actually above the 125% poverty line for a household of 5 but my concern is about the real estate and its mortgage which is still high... My fiance (petitioner) had already printed our I-134 out, signed, and sent it to me when we found out that it is OK not to include the real estate. Will the high mortgage matter much despite the above 125% poverty line annual income?

Will not matter. The income more than meets the requirement, so no assets are even needed. They do not care about your debts.

you don't need to show 125% for I-134. No don't use your mortgage because it will make things complicated you just need 100% of the poverty guidelines. You will need 125% poverty guidelines when you adjust your status with the I-864.

So even with the mortgage declared, I will not have any problem?

But my fiance (petitioner) had already sent me the I-134 wherein the mortgage was declared.. Do you think I have to ask him again to send me a new one? It will cost us a lot though.... i think he paid almost $40 whent he sent me docs the last time

And he sent me a signed 'blank/empty' I-134 just in case there will be any changes. Do you think its better if I fill it up handwritten and just declare the annual income?

No. It is already on there and makes no difference. The house value doesn't matter, and debts are not used for determining the affidavit of support.

If he already signed it, then you could fill it out and leave the assets section blank. They are not needed.

They only look at how much you bring in, not how much goes out.

Thanks! So I guess I will be using the I-134 that he already prepared even with the mortgage on it since it will not matter.. Thanks again! I feel relieved..

Oh okay Thanks! Was bothered by the high mortgage I feel relieved now... Thanks!

Don't worry about it, once the CO sees the income is adequate none of the other will matter.

Thanks Hank! Such a relief

Actually, doesn't it help because it shows $28,000 in equity? I thought the only reason for having that on the I-134 is so equity can be counted toward the needed total if necessary.

Helping isn't needed.

You either qualify or you don't, they don't look at it and say...he qualifies and look he has even some equity which makes it better.

You could have $1. over or $1,000,000. over the qualifying amounts and get the same answer.
