Simple I-134 Questions

[MagicDragon 1]

I am the USC sponsor. Will I mail the I-134 to the Embassy (China), or to my Fiancee? Will I need to snail mail the original signed document, or can I email a scanned PDF copy for her to print there?

Your financee and she needs the original with original signature.

You will send them to your fiance.. The I-134 should have wet signature and any other document such as Tax Transcripts etc can be copies. So, you should send them by mail, DHL, Fedex etc...

Thanks. So are the only two points in the normal process where we need forms with each others signature and are in different countries for the I-129F packet and the Embassy Packet? We prepared the I-129F packet together and I brought back her signed papers. I'm thinking of going back and preparing the Embassy Packet together with her. Are there any other forms she will need original signature from me before she gets to the USA that aren't in either of those two packet checklists?

The forms that requires her signature and date for the I-129F

G-325A

Intent to marry

Her name on the back of the passport photo

When it comes to the embassy, it depends on which embassy and how they process the K1 visa application. You need to look at the embassy information. Most the time, packet 3 will explain what your fiance need to bring to the interview. But as far as if she would need any other forms from you the petitioner, I have to say just the I-134 and I would write fresh new letter of intent to marry closer to the date of interview...this will need your signature and date as well.

It really help a lot to read on Vj if you have time. So much information that you can use to get you ready and prepared that will help you now, and in the future...This is some learning experience in progress for sure...Best of Luck...

Thanks. In the internet age, I just don't like international snail mail. If I dated the documents around the projected time we are to receive the NOA2 would that be close enough? Or maybe 3 months from the NOA1 date? What is there typically; another 2 month delay between NOA2 and the embassy interview? For China, the Guangzhou Embassy actually refers to "Packet 4" , not "Packet 3" for the K1 Visa. I have that list from their site. Just wondered about anything else with my signature she might need before she got to USA.

Yes, you are correct, in Guangahou case they issue packet 4 when most other not all, issue packet 3 followed by 4. Either way, I would send the letter of intent along with I-134 right after the NOA2 approval.

In my case, I sent my fiance entire complete copy of the petition as well.

It varies by embassy. Most embassies including the one I applied to require I-134 to be dated within 1 year preceding the interview, but you should check with your embassy as they might have a different time frame.

This is what they require from Guangzhou Consulate as far as affidavit or support.

□ AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT (I-134) AND EVIDENCE OF INCOME: The Consulate requires evidence that demonstrates that you and the members of your family who will accompany you are not likely to become public charges after immigrating to the United States.  Please submit Form I-134 signed by your petitioner. The form should be accompanied by evidence of sustained income or financial resources, such as his/her most recent tax return.  If the petitioner’s income does not meet the poverty income guidelines (please see http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3183.html),you may submit an I-134 signed by a joint sponsor along with his/her most recent tax return and proof of U.S. citizenship or legal permanent resident status.  Even if you submit this documentation, a consular official may at any time require additional evidence to determine your eligibility.
