Urgent!! I-134 Affidavit form - help needed

[EmilyTim 3]

Long story short... my fiancé (petitioner) didn't realise he earned under the minimum poverty requirement. My interview at the US embassy in London is Friday. We are going to ask his mother to be a co-sponsor. 

Really stressed as this isn't something I thought I had to research/deal with, so any help is hugely appreciated!!

 

A few questions...

1) Does the co sponsor need to fill out the I-134 or is it a different form?

If it does need to be the I-134, are there any step by step guides (aimed at co sponsors)?

2) Can the co sponsor scan her completed form, email it to me and I can print it? Or does it need a wet signature and therefore need to be posted to me?

3) What other financial documents does the co sponsor need to scan and email to me? Is the past 3 yrs of tax returns adequate? A letter from her employer?

4) Is a scanned copy of her US passport adequate to take with me?

 

Thank you so much!!

I saw this person also has some of the questions that you did. It looks like the cosponsor must fill out the I134 form as well and send with a wet signature.

Here’s what was suggested for the I134 below. I’m sure the 3 years tax return should be enough and perhaps add in paystubs or W2s. There is an example I134 form:

Supporting documents:

1. Start getting the I-134 ready with the supporting documents [e.g. proof of income].London will accept any proof on an I-134 that clearly shows income. Some ways besides a tax return/transcript are employer letter, pay stubs, pension letter, or banks statements showing direct deposits. Pick two. You don’t need to prove income five different ways. If you have a new job or earn more income since your tax return, then an employer letter and recent pay stubs are a better choice than a weak tax return. This one has to be sent the old-fashioned way with a “wet” signature on it. Copies of the form aren't accepted, but your proof of income can be scans or photocopies.

1) yes your co sponsor just fills out an I-134

2) Scanned copies are perfectly acceptable no wet signature is required.

3) they just need to include their previous tax return and/or copies or w2's

4) this is not required

Thank you - I am so grateful for your help!

If you're worried about the wet ink signature, just to put your mind at rest, do as per the good advice above and take the scanned form to your interview.  Get your co sponsor to mail it across to you. Although you wont' have the wet ink signed document for your interview, you have the reassurance that if they do ask for it (they won't) it's in the mail and you won't have any serious delays if you have to submit it later. 

Good luck for your interview
