Hello everyone, 

 

Filling out the new edition of Affidavit of support (02/13/19). How should we answer this question? Some say leave it unchecked. 

 

Thanks!

Doesn't matter.   You could leave it blank or choose either box.

 

The I-134 was designed for non-immigrant visas, whereas the K-1 has immigration intent .. very confusing to say the least.       Embassy is just looking for GROSS income information and the name of your beneficiary/fiancee.

we checked the INTEND and fill in part 7 by saying, pet will provide housing and food and all beneficiary's necessities.

I would either leave it blank or check "I do not intend...."   unless you are making only SPECIFIC contributions... just my opinion.

But if it is for your fiancee wouldn't you check the intend part and then state? Unless of course you are not trusting your Fiancee to be around long...

In the new revised I-134 form dated 11/30/2018 - Question #38 now regards contributions.  You leave the yes/no boxes "unchecked" and your explanation is submitted in Part 7 on page 8 of the new form.  

 

You will do this:

3.a. "Page 4"

3.b. "Part Number 3"

3.c. "Item Number 38"

3.d. "N/A (K1 Visa Process For Permanent Residence)"

Exactly like @Greenbaum said. That's how we had filled it out also.

 

Checking "Yes" means you give a specific monthly, almost like income amount, which you won't be. Think of that as like for internships where a company is promising a certain allocated monthly amount. 

 

So check "No" then put in N/A (K-1 Visa)

The mere fact that you are filling in the form on the new immigrant's support indicates you are sponsoring them.  The referenced part of the form is for SPECIFIC contributions......therefore, "I do not intend........." is appropriate , in my opinion, because you are not making only specific contributions.....

No, not necessary, beneficiary is listed in Part 2, income is listed in Part 3, that is all the embassy cares about.   You have to remember this form is designed for non-immigrant visas.     But like said check a box, don't check a box .. doesn't matter .. 

 

Plus lastly this form is not binding .. hardly worth the ink used to print it.

I see  Thanks for the education. It makes sense now

Well, the specific contribution is that you will provide all the required support until such time as the alien no longer requires.   In some situations that could be until death do you part

I-134 is NOT binding ... no support requirement for X number of years or such.   Doesn't matter which box you check.
