i134 vs i864

[WindowLove 1]

Does my Fiance need to file an i134 as well as an i864 or just the i134 is okay and his mom files the i864? He is currently making over 100k but he just started work last year, which means his mom needs to submit as a support as well... She needs to fill in an i864 as well right?

The I-134 is typically used for co-sponsors as well. Did your consulate specifically state a co-sponsor must use an I-864 instead, even for a K-1?

If he makes over 100k, then he probably does not need a co-sponsor. Is he self-employed and therefore cannot prove his income with a letter from employer and recent pay stubs?

He just started work in June 2014.

In the email I got from Montreal, it had this in their list..

Affidavit of support (I-134) (for fiancé, employment and DV visas)

¾ Evidence of support (I-864, Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year)

His mom already filled out the papers for the i-134, would that suffice?

As I'm going through this i-1864 form, it says "on Part 5. 3-"If you are currently married, enter 1 for your spouse" - Which she is... however, the husband is not filing one of these forms out which will make it 3 people when I go to Part 5. #8.... Then below where it asks about the income, it'll only show her income, wouldn't that look bad for 3 people? She's making 40k...

Part 6 #11:

10. The person(s) listed in 6.a., 7.a., 8.a., and 9.a. have completed Form I-864A. I am filing along with this form all necessary Forms I-864A completed by these persons.

The 134 is for the K-1 interview. The 864 is for AOS after marriage.

He is currently making over 100k

Then unless his household size will be super large, that's enough to sponsor on his own.

but he just started work last year,

So, doesn't matter. Current income is key, not how long at it.

which means his mom needs to submit as a support as well...

Where did you hear this? Totally untrue.

Nope, Read the Guide and Form Instructions and Follow the Example Forms....links at the top of this page.

Ok, so he started working in June, and is currently making over $100k annually? Like I said, if he is not self-employed, then no need for the co-sponsor. Why do you think he must have one? He can prove his income with a letter from employer and recent pay stubs. It is about current income, not past. Hell, even if self-employed and needing to prove income with the most recent tax return, working June-Dec. 2014 at that pay rate probably shows enough Total Income to meet the requirement. For a household of 2, it is only approx. $20k. He earns $80k over that.

If you still want to take co-sponsor documents, then use the I-134 for the co-sponsor. Don't give them the co-sponsor documentation unless they state they need it. I really do not think they will.

I'm in a similar situation. I thought I had all of my paperwork done and then I see on an email that my fiance received from Montreal that the I-864 is required as well as the I-134. (Just like you posted above.) Now, I'm so confused how to fill this I-864 out because it doesn't seem like it fits our situation at all. And every time it says mailing address I have no idea if it means mine or my fiance's. Totally confused over here.

If you received what was posted above, then it states the I-134 is for a fiance(e) visa. That is what you need. I-864 will come later after you are married and filing for AOS.
