Hi guys!

I will be moving to the Staates in end of Mai (K1 visa).

I was wondering, what should I do with my place of residence in Germany. Is it necessary to give any notice of departure? Should I inform any public authority that I am immigarting to the U.S.?

Is this necessary? What consequences does it has?

thanks for your answers.

- Adam

Edited to add: (spoke with Karin about this)

The German public insurance (if you are on it) would definitaly not cover you outside the EU (not even for visiting). If you have (or wish to get) private coverage (say through ADAC or what ever), you may/can be covered outside the EU (a friend of ours is doing just that).

Hi Otto!

thanks for the answer.

Yes I heard about ADAC insurance before.

I am not sure if I can be insured through them, cause I am moving permanently to the Staates.

I will just call them and figure it out.

thanks for the information

hey guys!

I know that I am propably in the wrong forum, but I have a short question.

I will move to the U.S. with a K1 visa to marry my fiancee in June.

I will finish my Master in May and she is still going to school and is insured through her parents at the moment.

I was wondering if someone can give me an advice what to do for the beginning for insurance.

Should I get an insurance in Germany?

Is it even valid if I get married? Can I be insured in Germany and she through her parents until I find a job?

Any advice would help.

Thanks a lot

Sorry again for posting in the wrong forum, couldn`t find the right one for my question.

Hi guys!

I have two short questions.

1)

I already received my K1 visa. My fiancee is living in San Diego. I want to fly out from Frankfurt to Las Vegas (I found a cheap flight). Can I cross the boarder in Las Vegas or has it to be San Diego. I quess I know already the answer and it should not be a problem. Just wanted to double check.

2)

I want to take a flight with an other airline from Las Vegas to San Diego.

The flight leaves 3,5 hours after landing in Las Vegas. How long does it take for me at the boarder until they process my visa papers?

Just want to make sure that I can get the flight.

thanks for the help

can anyone give me an advice????

Hey guys!

My fiancees dad will be my co-sponsor.

His household size including me is 5 people. Regarding the 125% of Poverty Line his income should be $32,237

His income (income tax return form) was in

2006: $38,515

2007: $29,655

2008: $42,215

He is self-employed. On the guidelines for the I-134 form it says I have to provide his last income tax return papers including papers which show his income from the last 12 months. I already have these papers. Is this enough or should I also provide the income tax statements from 2007 and 2006? I was reading in some forums here on the website that this is necessary. Is this true and why is it not mentioned on the quidelines on the I-134 form? In 2007 his income was a little bit lower than the requested income (125% Poverty Line). I am afraid that I get refused because of that.

Does anyone has experience with the embassy in Frankfurt?

What papers should I provide, just the 2008 income tax return from or also the papers from 2007 and 2006?

thanks for your help!

Hey guys!

short question: for the K1 visa do I just need the I-134 form or also the I-864 form?

thanks

- Adam

Hi guys!

my fiancee's dad will be my co-sponsor. He is self-employed and makes $80.000 (line 22 form 1040).

I will provide his income tax return (2008) to the I-134 form.

I can not include monthly pay stubs from this year cause he is a truck driver and gets paid by checks from different clients after he gets a job done.

What kind of document do I have to provide in order to prove his income from the year 2009?

Do I even need any additional documents to provide? Or is his income tax return from 2008 enough?

thanks,

Markus

Hi guys!

I posted this question already once, but I still would like to get more feedback for it.

It is regarding question 9 on the form 134: “I have previously submitted affidavit of support for the following person(s) If none, state None.”

My fiancees dad will be my co-sponsor. 25 years ago when some of his family members wanted to visit him from his home country Poland he had to fill out some paper work in order that they could come and visit him (he does not remember if it was an affidavit of support). He did that a couples of times back than. I guess it was nececarry due to the Cold War and Poland was under Russian control at this time. It was always just for a visiting visa for a couple of weeks. So it was for sure not the same affidavit of support like the I-134 now.

First Question: Does anyone know if this papers he turned in for the tourist visa was an affidavit of support?

The first time one of his brothers came to visit him from Poland. He went back after a couple of weeks. He died 4 years ago in Poland.

The second time his other brother came to visit him. He came on a visiting visa and stayed illegally in the U.S.. After a while he got his green card and has U.S. citizenship now.

The third time a cousin wanted to visit him. But he didn’t got a visiting visa, probably cause his brother stayed illegally in the US. She is still living in Poland

I know that I apply for a K1 visa and that it is something completely different than a tourist visa 25 years ago. I just don’t want to get denied because of that story.

Second Question: Should I write all his family members down, even his cousin who got denied for a tourist visa? Or do I just put “None”, cause I don’t even really know if he filled out a affidafit of support or something else?

Third Question: Also he doesn’t remember the exact date any more cause it is so long ago. Should I just write unknown? And should I supply a letter explaining the whole story?

Thank you guys and I really will appreciate your help

Does someone has an advice for me....I would appreciate some help.

but it was not for a I-134 form for a K1 visa....it was just for a tourist visa....does it has any concequences for me if he did this already for his family members?

The question doesn't qualify itself - it asks simply have you submitted an affidavit of support before. Yes or No (You'll notice there is no mention of a K-1, tourist, or other visa in the question.). You are making more out of this than there needs to be made. I'd put the information down - date it as best you can and move on - it's not that big a deal - especially since it was 25 years ago.

Very doubtful submitting an affidavit of support for family 25 years ago would have any affect on your case now - especially if there were never any issues with these family members.

the reason I am asking is that one of his brothers was visiting him and got didn't wanted to go back to Poland so he stayed in the U.S.. After a while he got his green card and he has now his U.S. citizenship.

After that his Cousin wanted to visit him in the U.S., but she didn't get a visiting visa.

All this happened 25 years ago.

I am scared that my visa will get denied because of that, even if his income is high enough.

thanks for the help

Scared or not the answer is what it is. If the previous person sponsored now has citizenship, that will be on record. It's ok to note that when you file the affidavit.

So if he has citizenship now it will be not a problem any more? I am just scared, cause my fiancee's dad cousin got denied, but she also applied for a tourist visa and they were probably assuming that she wants to stay in the country like his brother. In my case they know that I want to get married and obviously want to live in the country, so I hope they will not care about that.

do you guys think it will matter or should I just find another co-sponsor, cause I will be probably denied due to that whole story?

if I write all the names down from his family, should I also write down the name of his cousin who's visa got denied?

should I write down that his brother stayed first as a illigal immigrant and got his green card later?

but it was not for a I-134 form for a K1 visa....it was just for a tourist visa....does it has any concequences for me if he did this already for his family members?

The question is pretty simple - I presume you are somehow completing this form on behalf of your fiancé's father - so from his perspective has he completed/submitted an affidavit of support for another person... apparently the answer is yes. If so, complete the appropriate information - if he doesn't know when he did, write 'unknown.' or '1994'

but it was not for a I-134 form for a K1 visa....it was just for a tourist visa....does it has any concequences for me if he did this already for his family members?

Hi guys!

I still have one question regarding the I-134 form.

Question 9 on the I-134 form “I have previously submitted affidavit of support for the following person:”

My fiancees dad had to submit affidavit of support 25 years ago when some of his family members wanted to visit him from his home country Poland. He did that a couples of times back than.

Or is this question just regarding to I-134, affidavit of support? Should I just write down “none” cause it is the first time he is filling out the first time an I-134 form for a K1 visa? Just want it to do it the right way, therefore I am asking.

Hi guys!

I have some questions regarding the I-134 form filling out by the sponsor (my fiancee). My fiancee is a student and didn’t work last year. Her dad will be the co-sponsor and he fulfills easily the 125% of poverty line.

What should she write down for Question 7 on I-134 form: “I am employed as or engaged in the business of….”

Should she write down “not employed” or leave it blank?

She didn’t work, therefore she didn’t had income. Therefore we will write down “0” for the question: “I derive an annual income of:”

We also want to attach the following letter:

“ I, (name of fiancee) was not required to file tax return because my income did not exceed the filling threshold. I am a full time student and I didn’t work in 2008 therefore I didn’t have any income. My dad, (name of fiancees dad), will be the co-sponsor for my fiance (my name).”

Is this short notice enough or should it be longer with more information? What information are required?

Thanks for the help

Hi guys!

I have some questions regarding the I-134 form filling out by the co-sponsor. My fiancee, who is the my sponsor is a student and didn’t work last year and doesn't has any income. Her dad will be the co-sponsor and he fulfills easily the 125% of poverty line.

I still have some questions regarding the I-134 form.

Question 1 on the I-134 form:

My fiancees dad got his U.S. citizenship through naturalization. On his certificate of naturalization there are two numbers. On on the top left side writen in red and it consists of 8 numbers and one below that writen in black consisting of one letter and 8 numbers (it says JNS Registration No.. I think it is the second one (writen in black), just wanted to double check.

Question 2 on the I-134 form:“I am XX years of age and have resided in the United States since….”

Should I write down the date of his naturalization, the date when he got his green card or the date he entered the United States for the first time (he can’t remember the exact date of his first arrival in the Staates just the year and month)?

Question 7 on the I-134 form:!!!

My fiancees dad is self employed (one-man business – truck driver). He did his income tax return together with his wife (but his wife is not working any more since August 2008) . Therefore the income on form 1040 is as follow:

“Line 7: Wages, salaries, tips, etc.:” $ 12,724 --- this is the amount his wife made

“Line 8a: taxable interest:” $277

“Line 9a: Ordinary dividends:” $110

“Line 12: Business income:” $83,726 --- this is the amount he made with his one man business

“Line 17: Rentel real estate, royalties etc.:” $-11,707

“Line 22: total income:” $85,130

They have two dependend children mentioned in the form 1040 (my fiancee and her sister).

Should I just write the amount mentioned in line 12 $83,726 and add his wife to the children as dependent on him?

I also have some attachement to form 1040 (Schedule C , Schedule E, Schedule SE and some others). On Schedule SE under line 2 you can find the net profit of $83,726 (business income). Line 4 states the “net earnings from self-employment”: $77,321. Is this maybe the right number?

Should I have two co-sponsors him and his wife? Should each of them fill out an I-134 form? They have two dependent children therefore his salary ($83,726) would be enough to fulfill the 125% of proverty line. Hers wouldn’t be enough ($12,724). Or is their both income mentioned in line 22 of $85,130 enough and should they just fill out one I-134 form with both names on it?

Any recommendations how to fill out question 7 with the correct amount of income? What would be the easiest way?

Question 8 on the I-134 form:

On the income tax return statement it is mentioned that both of his children are dependent on him and his wife for support. How do I know if they are wholly or partially dependent? My fiancee is still going to school, her sister just graduaded, but doesn’t has a job yet.

Question 9 on the I-134 form “I have previously submitted affidavit of support for the following person:”

My fiancees dad had to submit affidavit of support 25 years ago when some of his family members wanted to visit him from his home country Poland. He did that a couples of times back than. I guess it was nececarry due to the Cold War and Poland was under Russian control at this time. It was always just for a visiting visa for a couple of weeks. So it was not the same affidavit of support like the I-134 now. Should I write all his family members down? Also he doesn’t remember the exact date any more cause it is so long ago. Or is this question just regarding to I-134, affidavit of support? Should I just write down “none” cause it is the first time he is filling out the first time an I-134 form for a K1 visa? Just want it to do it the right way, therefore I am asking.

Question 10 on the I-134 form: “I have submitted a visa petition to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of the following person.”

I would write down “none”. Just when my fiancee fills out the I-134 form as the sponsor, she would have to write down my name.

Specially Question 7 and to figure out the right income is confusing me.

Thanks for your help!

Hi guys!

I have some questions about the I-134 form. My fiancee's dad will be my co-sponsor, since we both still study and don't have our own income yet.

Question 1:

Does my fiancee (who is the primary sponsor) has to fill out an I-134 form or just my fiancees dad (who is the co-sponsor)? My fiancee does not have any income.

Yes, the primary sponsor must fill out an I-134, as well as the co-sponsor. If she has no income, state such on the I-134. Regardless of whether she has income, provide last year's tax return if she filed, or a statement that she was not required to file because her income did not exceed the filing threshold.

Question 2:

My fiancee's dad is self-employed and makes about $100.000 per year. Is it enough when he provides a copy of his last income tax return or are any other documents required? He has also savings in his account and owns property. Can I just fill in on form I-134 for Question 7 the annual income or do I have to provide all information? I think the annual income in my case would be enough, just want to double check.

The tax information should be sufficient. If a sponsor qualifies on the basis of income alone, no asset information is needed.

Question 3:

My fiancees dad got his U.S. citizen through naturalization. Is it enough if I write down his naturalization number on the I-134 form or do I have to provide any copies of specific documents like birth certificate and certificate of naturalization number?

Write his certificate of naturalization number in the appropriate place on the form, and provide a copy of the certificate (or all pages of his US passport).

Question 4:

Can I leave Question 11 on the I-134 form empty or write "K/A". Question 11: "I intend or do not intend (I can mark on of it) to make specific contributions to support of the person(s) named in item 3."

Follow the example in the VJ guides: "N/A - K1 process for permanent residence"

Question 5:

Are there any other important documents missing?

Doesn't look like it!

thanks for the help

Hi Stephen and Elisha!

my fiance posted some questions yesterday. Thanks for your fast answers. I didn't had any income last year. I will mention this on my I-134 form.

You wrote:

"Regardless of whether she has income, provide last year's tax return if she filed, or a statement that she was not required to file because her income did not exceed the filing threshold"

Do I write this down on a piece of paper and sign it? Or who should write this statement and sign it?

Hi guys!

thanks for the fast answers!

Can you please help me with question 2 one more time. I got two different answers.

Question 2:

My fiancee's dad is self-employed and makes about $100.000 per year. Is it enough when he provides a copy of his last income tax return or are any other documents required? He has also savings in his account and owns property. Can I just fill in on form I-134 for Question 7 the annual income or do I have to provide all information? I think the annual income in my case would be enough, just want to double check.

Thanks for the help!

The co-sponsor submits all the same documents your fiancee does, PLUS proof of US citizen or permanent residency.

What kind of documents do I have to turn in from the co-sponsor?

- proof of income just from last year? proof of income before tax or after tax?

- birth certificate of co-sponsor?

- what else???

thanks for the help

hey guys!

I am collecting the papers for my visa interview and I have some questions regarding the I-134 form. me and my fiancee are both still studying so we don't have an income yet.

my fiancees mom is unumployed for about one year. She has savings and property. Can she be the sponsor? how much money does she has to have on her account and does it make a difference that she earns property? What kind of papers does she has to collect for me? Before her unemployment she made a lot of money on her job, should I attach her last tax income to the I-134 form or is this not necessary cause she has not a job now?

thanks for the help
