Affidavit of Support - Tax Return Question (Dependent)

[frida_e 14]

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a great weekend!

My question is about the first affidavit of support form (I-134) that my fiancé must present for the interview. I just began working a month ago and therefore my taxes were not reported on my parents tax return but I do show up on there as the dependent. The main provider on there is my father. Should I fill out the affidavit of support with my information and attach my parent's tax return or should I fill out two affidavits of support, one with my father's information and one with mine?

I'm also going to have a joint co-sponsor who is my best friend since my family is low-income and my best friend is in the military and single and he makes the 125% above poverty line salary and of course he'll fill out his affidavit as well.

Thanks!

- Frida

Welcome to the forum.

The USC petitioner is always the primary sponsor. Take a look at the K1 Guides I-134 FAQs for more info about the types of sponsors: http://www.visajourney.com/content/support

Good luck on your immigration journey.

You can only have, and only need one co-sponsor. You will fill out your I-134 and provide proof of your current income with a letter from employer and/or recent pay stubs. Provide a statement that you did not file taxes for 2014 because your income was too low and were not legally required to file. You can add on there that you were claimed as a dependent on your parents taxes, but that you have recently become employed, earning your own income and will be filing taxes on your own next year, if you wish.

Choose your friend or father as your co-sponsor and one of them will fill out their own separate I-134 and provide their most recent complete tax return or IRS transcript, letter from employer and/or recent pay stubs, plus proof of being a USC or LPR just in case it is needed.

Thanks! I will do just that! I really appreciate all the information
