How long is a signed I-134 valid for?

[Nick&Darina 36]

Hi,

 

I am planning to visit my fiance in week and i wanted to bring along some documents for her interview, including a signed I-134. Her interview will not be until July or August from the timelines i see but i don't know if i will be able to visit again before that happens.  So if i sign it today, 03/18/2019 and its looked at on 08/18/2019(example) will it be considered too old and invalid? Does this document even need a wet signature, i saw mixed answers on that.

 

Thank You

Just sign it don't date it.

The CO reviewing the documents will have no problem with an I-134 signed but not dated?

5 months is a long time. You can change your job, move, and it will be out of date.

 

The checklist from your embassy doesn't mention that the affidavit needs to have a wet signature. Most embassies will take a scanned and printed i-134. Check with other people from your country if they did it like that. If they require, you could mail them.

You don't need wet signature. I filled it in Acrobat, printed out page 5, signed it, scanned, then sent my then fiancee digital copy of PDF AND scanned PNG file of signed Page 5. She printed out PDF and PNG image and then replaced Page 5 with the one that had my signature on it. 

 

Do note that form I-134 was recently updated, please make sure you are using latest edition, the old one won't be accepted starting some time in May I believe. 

For additional documentation, I used Tax transcripts from IRS website, nothing else, no W-2, no letters from employers or bank. They barely looked at it if at all.

Thank you very much, i didn't see the new edition was released, i will need to see if they changed anything with this form.
