additional sponsor

[GrenadianCrix 1]

I have an additional sponsor for my non-USC fiance. I know I need to fill out an I-134 myself but since I will not meet any criteria we have an additional sponsor.

My question is, when the sponsor sends the filled out and notarized I-134 form to my fiance for the interview, do they need to be put into a sealed and signed envelope? Or can it all just be clipped together and put in with all the rest of the forms.

I remember seeing this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it in a search. I just need to advise the person on how to compile the form and supporting documentation.

Thanks a bunch

Sue

The idea for putting the co or joint sponsor documents in a sealed envelope is an old one.. and not so much a suggestion as an "it's OK to do this if the joint sponsor doesn't want the immigrant to see all his/her financials'. The CO then becomes the only one reviewing the documents.

Not a requirement or suggested action, simply a possibility IF the co or joint sponsor prefers it.

Hey Sue,

I was just told by someone at the embassy that your "joint sponsor" is supposed to fill out the I-864 form with will need to be accompanied by a copy of their recent IRS income tax return.

Hey Sue,

Chandra, It sounds like you got some bad information.

In regards to a K-1 visa, the I-864 is filled out at the time of AOS...not the interview. For Barbados you will need the I-134. This is standard in most embassies and definatly the process in Barbados. I have already received packet 3 from them and it requires the I-134 form. The I-864 refers to a second sponsor as a 'joint sponsor' but the I-134 makes no mention of it. You may have an additional person submit an I-134 if you don't meet the requirements (which neither of us can given our volunteer status).

I hope this doesn't slow you down too much.

By the way, nice to hear from you, hope all is well.

Sue
