Any petitioner's here who were unemployed for K1 process?

[Nicolerae 19]

Hey everyone! We received our NOA2 on the 29th so I'm just working on getting everything else together for moving forward in the K1 process. I've looked over the K1 guidelines on here and the Sydney US embassy list of what to bring. My fiancé is getting the vaccines he's missing next week, ordering his AFP, and ready to get his US passport photo done once he's got an interview and DS-160 ready to submit once interview is scheduled. We've already got the copy of the packet ready, and I'll be sending an updated intent to marry letter to him before the interview as well. I'll be doing the I-134 soon, but since its a new year need to do taxes first. I was living in Australia all of 2019 and did not have any income during that time. I've been back in the US for a couple weeks so still not working yet, but my mom has agreed to co-sponsor. Do we both need to do the I-134 for the interview? Any petitioners who were unemployed have any advice on that? 

 

Also, I hadn't heard of the MRV fee until now. Once our NVC status is ready will there be a link or something to pay that? If anyone has a link to accurate info on that that would be awesome because I'm finding so much on google I'm not sure what to follow. 

 

Thanks!

Do we both need to do the I-134 for the interview? Just the petitioner completes the I-134.

No need to google. All that is needed is on the website for the US Embassy Australia.
