i-134 Affadavit Support.. ?? and advice please

[pushbrk 13,612]

The (K visa) intending immigrant simply needs to satisfy the Consular officer, they won't become a public charge. The most common way to do this is with an affidavit of support from a US sponsor. Even such an affidavit can be in another form than the I-134 but not in the form of an I-864.

Heh pushbrk!

You recommend people trying that. Get REAL bro!

Stick with what works and is tryed and true!

Yes, he still has to fill out and I-134. You can't sponsor yourself.

If you are saying that the fiance' (non American) cannot sponsor him/herself, this is not true. They most cetainly can self sponsor and are in the good if they make over the poverty guidelines for an individual.

A question for those with more experience than me in this area:

Regarding the OP's question about utilizing her own income to contribute to income requirements:

Since the OP is applying for a K visa, she is not using the I-864. However, one of the points in the I-864 instructions under what income can be used? is this point:

Income from the intending immigrant, if that income will continue from the same source after immigration, and if the intending immigrant is currently living in your residence. If the intending immigrant is your spouse, his or her income can be counted regardless of current residence, but it must continue from the same source after he or she becomes a lawful permanent resident.

Does anyone know if this restriction would apply for the K visa/I-134 as well?

If it does apply, then I would think the ability to clear this restrictive hurdle would be rare - possible example: a Multi National Company (MNC) that allowed their employee to transfer from another country to the USA, or something like that. Staying in the same position or field does not qualify. It has to be the same source ("employer").

Again, I am not saying this is the case. I am asking a question , whose answer may or may not have bearing on the OP's situation/question. Thanks.

Yes, income that will continue in the US from the same source can be used. However, the OP was asking about the use of cash assets, not income. The assets qualify too.

I didn't bring it up. The OP did. Then you said it was misinformation. It's not. What she posted is absolutely true but I advised her to get and I-134 from her fiance anyway.

Just what is your point? You called a truth misinformation. It is the responsibility of members who have accurate information to correct others who provide false information. It's really as simple as that.

Truth isn't always the right course and someone can get in trouble following it. No reason to even bring it up if that's not the safe tried and true way to go. That's what I call misinformation.

People just want to know the fastest, safest and easiest way.

That's alls I'm saying.
