K1 - I134 form and supporting documents help needed

[Amrita84 0]

Hello All,

I apologise if the information I am requesting is already somewhere on the forum, but I really couldn't see it. Any help/pointers would be much appreciated.

My US fiancé is a student and has no income. His mother has kindly agreed co-sponsor our application. I'm confused about exactly what supporting documents are needed for the i134 form.

If I have researched the matter properly, the following is needed to support the i134:

- US Federal tax return form

- Letter from Employer

- Pay stubs

My fiance is able to provide me with a tax return for 2013, but no further documents. What other supporting documents will I need from him? Will evidence that he is a student suffice?

So far, my future mother-in-law has given me a copy of her 'Notification of Personnel Action' and the state board medical licensure stating where she works and what type of medicine she practices. Does she need to supply me with pay stubs too? My future mother in law has stated that she may not be able to provide me with proof of US federal income tax return (she has an extension).

I have original copies of the i134 from both of them, can the supporting evidence be scanned/copies?

My fiancé is also currently based outside of the US due to his course (sadly not the UK though!), and will be back in the US in April. Do I need evidence to prove that my fiancé will be returning to the US at the end of his course (I imagine the educational institute where he is studying could provide a letter stating something along those lines).

My interview will be at the London Embassy (no date yet, though my medical is this coming Friday), and I've got the impression that they are focussed on making sure the financial side of this process is in order.

Thank you for your help in advance!

London is more flexible on the I-134 than many consulates. They will accept Mom's I-134 and supporting documents alone. That's been their practice. However one person who interviewed recently said they didn't have one from the fiancé and so they asked if there was a new letter of intent from the fiancé. I don't know if that was a one-off situation because kinda odd from how they normally are. So really nothing from fiancé, but maybe get another letter of intent to say he still plans to marry you within 90 days of your entry on a K1 visa.

London does not require any specific list of income proofs. No tax return is fine if there is other proof. Mom needs something stating her salary. Does her Notification of Personnel Action include salary? If so, that will do it. Is she a doctor? Maybe she doesn't get a salary like a typical employee. What can she prove her yearly income with?

Yes they accept scanned copies of evidence, but you likely have a month to receive something in the mail.

Thank you so much for your response. It really has helped to put my worries at ease!

I have an i134 from both Mom and Fiancé, and new letter of intent to marry dated from September (does the date matter?) from my fiancé.

Mom has emailed me copies last night of her letter of employment (thought that doesn't mention her salary) and a copy of her last pay stub. The Notification of Personnel Action' states her salary. It looks like I might have everything in order!

There is so much printing to do!

Again, thank you so much for your help!

???

If you are printing out piles of relationship proof, save yourself some time. London doesn't want anything like that including more photos together. Really. Nothing.

Well, in that case, I'm glad I saw your last reply when I did. Not so much printing to do!

Thank you for your help. It has been invaluable!
