Affidavit of Support I-134 for K-1 visas questions.

[Loving_girl 38]

Guys,

I was reading plenty of posts over here as for Affidavit of support I-134 for the K-1 visa, so decided to join them under one post to clear up all doubtful issues. I kindly ask you to leave comments as for how it should be properly filled.

Question 3. This Affidavit is executed on behalf of the following person:

Here we but Fiancee/Fiance full name and other asked information.

As for the Relationship to sponsor – should it be indicated as “Fiancee”?

Name of spouse and children accompanying or following to join person - If none, should be said “None” or just leave it blank?

Question 7. I am employed as or engaged in the business of – If the sponsor is Retired, should it be mentioned as “Retired from US Air Force”?

Question 8. The following persons are dependent upon me for support – Should fiancée be indicated over there? Or it is referred to children, family of the Petitioner only?

Question 10. I have submitted a visa petition(s) to the USCIS on behalf of the following person (s). – Does this refer to the fiancée? If an I-129F was submitted for K-1 visa.

Question 11. I intend (do not intend) to make specific contributions to the support of the person(s) named in item 3. – It is logic that Petitioner is going to financially support Beneficiary (Fiancee) so we should mark “intend”? And what about an explanation to this part, should such explanation be enough: I intend to support person named in item 3 by splitting all my incomes. ?

Ending of the form:

I acknowledge that I have read “Sponsor and Alien Liability” on the page 2 of the instructions for this form, and I am aware of my responsibilities as a sponsor under Social Security Act, as amended, and a Food Stamp Act, as amended. ______________ (there is a space, I suggest it should be signed?)

And last: it is written in the form I-134 the information about income, savings, insurance etc. Will it be enough if Sponsor (beneficiary) adds the following docs as a support taking into account our specific case:

1. (he is retired and he can provide letter from the VA (Veterans service) and Social Security where they state he is retired and year income that he receive stating that he is not a subject to pay taxes in the USA.
2. Pay-stubs. (in this case for what time? One year is enough?)
3. Statement from the bank as for his account. (Should this ne okay?)
4. Life insurance (he has several) what do you recommend to present?
5. He owns 2 cars (should this be mentioned?) What documents need to be presented in this case?

As for the poverty line income, we are way above it so will the letter from the VA and Social Security with pay-stubs be enough in this case?

Thank you in advance for answers! Sorry for detailed post.

Question 3: This is the beneficiary. The relationship to sponsor is fiancé. If there are no children, simply write NONE.

Question 7: Put the nature of your job. If you are retired, just put retired. I think what you have is fine.

Question 8: This is where you list household members that are dependent on the Petitioner. Do not put the beneficiary here.

Question 10: Yes you submitted the I-129f to petition for your fiancé, so you write their name, fiancé, and date of your NOA1.

Question 11: You can leave this blank as it does not apply to K-1 visa cases. In the space below simply write N/A K-1 VISA PROCESS. The I-134 form Is used for several visa cases in which this question would apply, for a K-1 it does not apply.

The short space near the end of the form you can leave blank. In my previous experience I just initialed it, but you should be OK to leave it blank. What matters the most is your signature at the bottom.

For your documents:

1. The letter from the VA should be good
2. I would say a few paystubs maybe a few months worth.
3. Statement from bank isn’t needed if your income is good.
4. Not sure how life insurance works, but for any asset it has to be readily available to convert to cash quickly.
5. Not sure he can claim the first car if it is the primary vehicle being used, but the 2^nd one he probably can.

If your income is above the poverty guidelines, you do not need to include anything about assets. In fact, you can leave every section of the I-134 blank when it asks about assets. If you ARE using assets, you will need to provide proof of their value, such as getting appraisals.

I have previous experience with the K-1 visa process. My previous relationship didn't work out and so here I am again. I will be filing another I-129F as soon as I am able to do so, which is why I do not have a timeline yet.
