Question:
1. Can a person self-sponsor for the i134 at the K visa interview in London? If so, which form is used or do you have any information on how on earth to look at this!
- If No to the above question, can my partner and I use my savings (even though in GBP not USD) plus his disability to do my i134 for the London embassy OR is it best to get the joint sponsor we are using for the adjustment of status to do the i134 also.
- If Yes to Q1 then what evidence do i need beyond a bank statement?
PLEASE HELP. We have been feeling so lost with these forms!
Circumstance
Me:
- I am a UK citizen engaged to a US citizen filing for fianc visa
- I am resident in the UK
- I have a full time job in the UK earning between 50-55k annually. (We are aware I need to quit my job if K visa is approved and I go to the states. We will be applying for my right to work as soon as we get married and then my job has said they will hire me remotely as a contractor after i have a right to work again. I do not plan to work illegally.
- I am a sole trader also in the UK working remotely for a UK company that contracts me in to provide services. This is new and is going to be used similar to above once i have the right to work again!
- Once i am allowed to work i will be using my UK jobs to support our household PLUS look for work in the USA to allow my income to be counted in the future as aware that UK salaries and income are not considered income.
- I have 30k in savings in a UK savings account for 6months +
Him-
- US citizen fianc who lives in the US with 4 dependants
- He is on disability and looking after 4 kids therefore we have a joint sponsor for when doing the adjustment of status side of things if K visa is approved
We did use a lawyer in the US to start but have had to let them go as they were overly expensive and actually did not understand our situation and made multiple errors on forms that we were told that wouldn't happen because they understand the forms and we don't ! So we are not doing this alone after spending over $5k with nothing out of it.
