financial support from self and outside US?

[junior_g 0]

Hi there,

Just wondering if there is anyway that I myself, being the foreign fiance, might be able to give some sort of proof of support from my family or if it can only be done by somebody who is a US citizen or resident? Maybe anybody knows if there is some sort of I-134 for non US citizens or residents.

Thanks,

Phil

Some consulates consider this.

The best source of info is London's page.

Applicants Own Funds

An applicant who expects to be able to meet the public charge provisions of the law through personal financial resources may submit to the consular officer evidence of funds or income from one or more of the following sources:

• bank statement showing present balance of applicant's account, date account was opened, the number and amount of deposits and withdrawals during the past 12 months, and the average balance during the year. If there have been recent unusually large deposits, an explanation thereof should be given;
  
• proof of ownership of property or real estate, in the form of a title deed or the equivalent and a letter from a lawyer, or real estate agent showing its present valuation (any mortgages or loans against the property must be stated);
  
• letter or letters verifying ownership of stocks and bonds, with present market value or expected earnings indicated;
  
• statement from insurance company showing policies held and present case surrender value;
  
• proof of income from business investments or other sources.
  

If the financial resources are derived from a source outside the United States, a statement as to how the funds or income are to be transferred to the U.S. must be provided.

From everything I've read on VJ, all support must come from the United States.

If the beneficiary (the foreign spouse) listed their foreign employment income - it cannot be considered for affidavit of support because this source of income will be terminated.

But if it is a monetary asset or other type of asset owned by the foreign spouse or investment income which can/will be transferred to the US to support the intending immigrant, I do not see why it cannot be used for affidavit of support.

If a K-visa applicant has sufficient financial resources of their own they do not need a financial sponsor to meet the public charge requirements for their visa, they can do it with their own resources. Same as applicants for any other non-immigrant visa.

Phil did make his question ambiguous by writing in his subject line "financial support from self" and then writing in the body of his post "from my family" without mentioning himself or whether any of the family lives in the USA. Self is acceptable, family in the USA is acceptable, family not in the USA is not acceptable.
