As I replied to you, his consulate might accept his pension, especially if it will continue even when he moves to the US. The Swiss consulate is probably one that will accept self-sponsoring since they are not high-fraud. You don't send financial information with the I-129F petition, but it won't hurt you if it is included. It is just not needed for the petition, and they won't care about it when adjudicating your petition.

Be careful sending anything that shows you calling each other wife/husband, or doing so at the interview. People have been denied a K-1 for doing this because the CO claimed they were already married.

Good luck to you two.

Thank you. He has not started collecting his pension yet, because the longer he waits the more it is worth, and he does not need it yet. He retired end of last year, but took a 1 year contract with the same company to set up clinical trials in Russia, Moscow. It is beautiful and my daughters also love visit and see classic architecture. The lawyer assured us she has never lost a case, and it would not matter which consulate we use because she would draft a letter along with my fiancée financials so that the i-134 is not required. So I hope this process is complete by the end of the year. Thank you for the advice about calling him my hubby!!

Regards,

Sue.

For the record, no one is insulting Thomas70, however, the information he consistently posts does not give the full picture of the affidavit of support requirements.

Thank you. I thought at first the information was factual and informative, which included information we already read and assumed at the travel.state.gov website. I emailed my hubby and he had already received a return reply from our lawyer which he posted a retainer to help us because he is still very busy with everything. She said we will include my husbands financial information in the original i-129f and also for him to bring updated versions to the interview. She said for any visa it is the burdon of the immigrant or visitor to show they will not become public charge, and in most cases for fiancee this include the i-134 as the proof of support, but this would not be needed in our case. I was very worried because I started reading the forums and everyone else on the board said the i-134 is required and the immigrant is not allowed to support themselves if they use a certain consulate. thank you all... ps, my honey told me to relax and stay off the message boards...

regards, Sue.

Wait a minute, I was just getting hope my fiance could support himself. I am 40, USC, and my fiance is 60 from Switzerland. I have been trying to find out about how we will make things work with the I-134. We want to live in the USA because my children are here, but I have no income and have only been raising my childern after my divorce. They are now all older and it's time for me to move on with my life. My fiance is very wealthy and can support himself. Is this possible? He is 60 years old. He owns home worth 500,000 CHF, has monthly pension, and has about 500,000 CHF in the bank. How can this work if my income is not 125% of the poverty. I see you all insult thomas70, where I was gaining some initial hopo. Is there a way to make this work? thank you. Sue
