DS-160 - Person/Entity Paying for Your Trip

[simonschus 58]

Dear all,

On the DS-160, there is an entry for "Person/Entity Paying for Your Trip”. I can select Self, US Petitioner, Other Person, or Other Company/Entity.

I will be paying for my own flights to the US and I will have my own money whilst I am going through the AOS. However, my partner will also be paying for a number of things whilst I’m not working (i.e. rent). I am also under the impression that my partner will be the one who is legally responsible for ensuring that I am not a public charge when I’m out there.

Given this, should I put ‘Self’ or ‘US Petitioner’? Are there any implications for the interview for choosing one over the other?

Simon.

For K1, should be either you, the petitioner, or whoever signed your affidavit of support if you have a co-sponsor.

If you are paying for your trip to the US. I think you should put "self" that's what I did. I pay my flight to the US. They ask who is paying for your trip to the US. Not who is paying for your rent and other stuff while you are there.

I also think "Self" best describes your situation here. My fiancé put self and all turned out well. To be honest, I think that question is more oriented towards those applying to tourist visas than the K1 crowd, so either way I wouldn't worry too much about it.
