Actually you need to show the name change from atkins to warren as well as the change back to atkins.  You need to show the progression for ALL names used in their lifetime from birth

 

No different than if a person changed there name upon marriage and then changed it back upon divorce.  All name changes are documented

Proof of Legal Name Change if either the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance is using a name other than that shown on the relevant documents. 

Even though I dont have any documents with his last name Warren besides mentioning it in the section that acted for other names or nicknames?

As you wish, most people include a cover page and sequence the evidence according to the sequence of the Parts of the form 

Thank you for your help, I actually have one more question. So his name that he changed was his last name. It was Atkins and when his mom married when he was a kid it was changed to Warren. So a few years ago he changed it back to atkins. On his birth c. , passport, and id etc, it is still atkins. So i am still not actually sure if I need the copy of deed poll?

Was the name change by deed poll? If so, he will need to submit a copy of that. 

Yes it was! OKay thanks, do you know if i just include by like putting it in the back of the packet for the i-129?

Hello, so my fiance (UK citizen) changed his last name a few years ago, do I have to provide proof of this? Here is the list of evidence you need and it mention name change, but I was not sure if that are for me(the petitioner) or him. Any help would be appreciated! 

Did you provide the following?

• Evidence of your U.S. citizenship:
  • A copy of your birth certificate, issued by a civil registrar, vital statistics office, or other civil authority showing you were born in the United States; 
• Evidence you or your fiancé legally terminated any previous marriages (if applicable)
• One color passport-style photograph of yourself and one for your fiancé taken within 30 days of you filing this petition 
• Evidence of legal name change (if applicable)

Doesn't have to be verified or even signed... just named.

 

See the I-129F instructions:

Photographs

You must submit one color passport-style photograph of yourself and one color passport-style photograph of the beneficiary taken within 30 days of filing this petition. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched.

 

The color passport-style photos must be 2 by 2 inches. The photos must be in color with full face, frontal view on a white to off-white background. Head height should measure 1 to 1 3/8 inches from top of hair to bottom of chin, and eye height is between 1 1/8 to 1 3/8 inches from bottom of photo. Your head must be bare unless you are wearing headwear as required by a religious denomination of which you are a member. Using a pencil or felt pen, lightly print your name and A-Number (if any) on the back of the photo.

 

Thank you! I thought you just needed a name since thats all I saw. My fiance had to sign/date/ and verify his photo when he did his passport a few years ago so we just wanted to be sure!

Hello!

 

I was reading up on the requirement for a PASSPORT STYLE (2x2) photo of both the beneficiary and petitioner to be included in the packet with the i-129f petition

 

I got my photos today (I am the beneficiary) and have dated / signed the back... do I need to physically mail the photo now to my fiancee or will a scan/print be acceptable?

 

Whats the most efficient way?

For the back of it, is it just the date and a signature by the person in the photo? Or do you have to have someone verify its you?

Yes, it can be the same person.

 

At this stage the applicant co-sponsor must fill out an I-134 and must make up 100% of the requirement. 

 

At the AOS stage, your co-sponsor actually becomes an JOINT applicant and your incomes are combined total to make up the 100% requirement on form I-854. This is why you can use your fiance (then spouse), or a friend, etc to combine with yours to make the minimum. In fact, even your joint sponsor can include other family member's income in their support to help out! It's much more forgiving.

 

When you get to that stage, be sure to pay attention to the form's instruction page anywhere it says the word "Joint" - as this is how your co-sponsor will be filing.

Thank you!

To be honest if you don't make the minimum they likely won't even look at your I-134. They'll look into your co-sponsor's. Your fiance can explain the reason for needing the co-sponsor at the interview stage.

 

You will also likely need a co-sponsor for the AOS stage as well, though the fiance's income can be included in this at that time - noting they will not be able to work until they have an EAD as @Jorgedig hinted. It may be hard to convince the CO that you have the income if your fiance doesn't immediately start employment when they receive their EAD before the AOS interview.

 

For example, when we filed my wife was in your same shoes - didn't earn enough and didn't have sufficient income. We got a co-sponsor.

At the AOS stange, I had transferred to a US branch of the company I was previously employed with as soon as I received my EAD and was able to use that in our documentation to cover the minimum income. Had I not been able to do that, we would have needed someone to co-sponsor at that stage.

 

 

Thanks for the response! For the co-sponsor at the AOS stage, can it be the same person from the interview stage? My joint/co-sponsor makes ~$50,000 so I know she meets the requirements and will be willing to sponsor

Are you the petitioner?  How do you intend to support the beneficiary?  Have you looked into the total cost of immigration?  (All of the fees, etc).  It is not cheap, and if you go the route of the K-1, the beneficiary cannot work for >6 months.  

 

Any co-sponsor, will not be sponsoring *you,* but your beneficiary.  You and the co-sponsor would both need to submit I-134s, along with all of the supporting documentation.

Thanks for the response! Yes I am the petitioner.  Yes I am aware of the total cost of immigration. As for how I intend to support the beneficiary, I've saved up money for the visa through my summer job and my fiance also has money saved up. I will have a job before he gets here, but we will be living in my parents house where we do not have to pay rent.

I know we both will have to turn in the i-134, I just wasn't sure if  I would need to turn in something else. I saw that some one had asked something similar had written a letter just stating why they did not file (not make enough to be required to file).

What beneficiary signature you are asking for? Intent letter of marry?

I had this question too in regards of the Intent letter or marry, do I need my Fiance's signature? He is in england and I am in Cali.

Hey everyone,

So I am currently a student. The only jobs I have ever worked was two summers at a amusement park, I did not make enough to have to file taxes so I never did. I have someone who will Sponsor me, who makes more than enough. Will I have to turn in anything besides the I-134?

Thank you! What about travel? Such as if i had visited him in England, since I am just visiting, that would not be included right?

Hello everyone. I had a question for Item Numbers 50.a. - 51.b. Places You Have Resided. I studied abroad Spring 2017 in Rome, Italy. Would I list where I stayed there? Would I also add it to my address history?

It won't be a problem from a procedural aspect but if you are not even making $20,000 a year how do you plan to keep 2 people in California on your small income? You do realise he won't be able to work for many months and after you marry you will have to pay over $1000 in additional fees for him to get his green card? 

 

So from a practical aspect it could be a problem. You might want to consider getting married and filing a spousal visa. It's cheaper, you don't have additional fees when he arrives, and he will be able to work immediately. 

For living in California part, that isnt an issue. I currently live with my dad and he does not mind if we both live there until we get on our feet etc. I do plan on getting a job soon, the issue is that i hadnt done my taxes because of a lack of job, so i was not sure how it would work when filing the form (as in do i put unemployed etc). I do get finanicial aid for school so i do have a few thousand put aside. As for the getting married and filing for a spousal visa, is it cheaper? When i looked up the fees, it seemed like it was more expensive. Though, i heard the k-1 is faster. I wasnt sure which route would be better to take, the k-1 or the spousal visa

Hello, this is my first time on this site and i would like some advice.

I am a US Citizen living in California and my fiance is from England. I have yet to apply because I am worried about the providing evidence of financial support part of the process. I am currently a student, and the only time I ever had a job was a seasonal position that i only had for the summer. I did not make enough that i was required to file taxes, so i dont know what i would do when filling out the I-134 form. has anyone had a experience like this? 

I do have someone willing to do a joint sponsor, but can only family do it? She is my half-sister's half sister.

Sorry if I did not make much sense!
