Hello!

So we received our NOA2 recently and I've started filling out the I-134. Based on the poverty guidelines, I am above the 125% this past year (not by much) but the two years before I was not above it. I have been in college and graduate school until May, 2018 so I haven't had sufficient income for a bit.

My questions are:

1) I currently work part-time and receive an income of $15 an hour for 30 hours a week. I am above the poverty line, but really not by a lot. I also haven't been above the poverty line with just my income alone for the years before (based on being in school). Does this show that I have stable income enough to be financially responsible for my fiance or should I have my father co-sponsor me? 

2) I do have other assets (such as savings, etc.) that I am going to put there. I don't know what would be sufficient enough in terms of price to show that I am genuinely fit enough to support him financially.

3)  Also, can both me and my father fill out the I-134 but only take out my father's if they say I don't have enough? Or will they send us back to come back at a later time if he doesn't hand it in in the first place?

I hope someone can help me, because I'm really going back and forth on how to go about this. I don't want the process to take longer, I just want it done correctly the first time. 

Thanks!

So so sorry to ask, but do you have any information for Brazil?

Hi. I recently submitted my I129f form for my beneficiary. He is Colombian and they use two family names: father's last name and then mother's last name. The I129f form asks for FAMILY name and we only wrote his first last name (his father's last name) that is actually his official last name. 

His passport and U.S tourist visa says SURNAME: TWO LAST NAMES  so we are worried now.

Is this issue going to be an RFE?

Has anyone else only written one last name when the person has two?

 

Thank you so much!

Hello, I don’t know if anyone answered this yet, and I really can’t answer it fully, but my fiance is from Brazil and has two first names and two last names with no middle name. This is common outside of the US but was definitely confusing when filling out the form. I personally put all of the names in the I129f following the format of his passport. I don’t know if it was right but I felt more comfortable putting all the names that are in his birth certificate and passport into the form. I don’t know if not putting all the names will result in an RFE though, I’d just sit tight and hope that it doesn’t.

If My I-129F maybe adjudicated between August 22, 2018 and August 27, 2018

, and I want to go back in the 10/11 to accompany the fiance to the United States, we think it is possible ? Thanks!

I wouldn't make any set plans to pick up your fiance until you have the approval that they have the visa. But hypothetically if the approval was in August, you have up to six months to use the K-1 visa before it's void. So if you wanted to wait to pick her up you can do that! Just don't make set plans because there really is no way to know when your fiance will actually be able to come.

They cash it first, and send the notification later. You should be getting it very soon.

They actually did the opposite on mine, they deposited the check after I received the notification. Also did you fill out the G-1145? If you didn't that may be another reason you didn't receive the message that they got it.

Hello everyone! We sent our packet in on January 30th and got a confirmation sent on the 6th that they received it on February 1st. Hopefully the journey is short for everyone <3
