I-134 AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT Questions

[Stephen Werner 15]

Hello all, It's been a while since I've been on here though my girl has been using the account to touch base with others semi-recently. Thank God, we've been approved thus far in the K1 visa process after some hard work; now, we are at the filling out of the I-134 Affidavit of Support part of the process and I have a few questions and would appreciate any help. I currently have multiple jobs that I work year around, one in being a customer service rep at a hotel for 40hrs a week and the second job as a direct service provider in disability services for 15-20 hrs a week, but 15hrs on average.  In the Income and Asset Information section, when I state my annual income will I be quoting the gross income amount found on my 1040 form? A base estimate of how much I make in a 52 work-week-year (estimated by me doing the math)? The amount I've made this year is much more then the amount I made last year since I've been working these multiple jobs longer as well. This year's personal annual income better represents my ability to support a dependent than last year's. Also, number 4. Balance of ALL my savings and checking accounts in the US. I have a fair amount of money saved up but I also have an outstanding balance on my credit card, do I have to show the outstanding balance as well as my accounts or just the account(s) balance? 

If you've read all of this then thank you for your attention and if you respond with help it is greatly appreciated. 😃🙏

Thanks Lovers4life, also in the dependents information do I need to put my girlfriends name? We are not married yet and she was not on my last tax return info although after we get married and when she is here then I will be the only one working for a while until she gets the green light to start work as well.

Also ☝️(man I hate this form already) It asks me in part 3 section 29 the date on which I filed my I-129F and I have a date on the I-797 Notice of action telling me it was received 02/09/2018 and then I have a notification telling me it was submitted on 02/14/2018. But nothing that says "filed". This is my hell, I overthink everything, is the "filing date" the date on which it was received or submitted??

02/09/2018 Is your file date. Some of these forms require to think outside the box. Use common sense but before that be sure to download the instructions and read them. The guides here are pretty good for filing the 129f and other documents. Under the tab at the top; look for "guides".

You do not put your girlfriend’s name on the form and you do not put your fiancee’s name on the form either. They are not your dependents. 😉
