Filling I-134 and 2021, 2020, and 2019 all fall below the income requirement. I just got rehired at my old job and I’m estimated to make $33k-$40k yearly. Any advice on using my current income and not the last three years? Household size of 3 I129F

Hi All, Couldn't find any other posts about this or info in the I-134 instructions, but for K-1 visa applicants what should be put down for the "From" box in question/section 16 (Beneficiary's anticipated period of stay)? Since we obviously don't know when she will actually be coming over to the US, should we put "N/A"? Use some estimated date? Something else? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello! I have a lawyer, but she's taking forever on our I134 Affidavit of Support form for our K1. My fiance's interview is in London next week, so we need it asap. Is it ok if I just fill it out and email to him (with my supporting financial evidence)? Or legally does my lawyer have to do it? I keep reaching out and no response still. The I134 is all that's left that we need. Thanks!

I am the petitioner and my mom will be my joint sponsor for form i134. I live with my mom and dad. My questions are: 1. so when my mom fills out the i134, would her household size be 4? (My mom, myself, my fiancée, and my dad) or would it just be 3 and my dad not be included since he’s not a dependent of my mom? 2. since my mom and dad file taxes jointly, does my dad need any tax documents to differentiate his earnings from my mom’s? If so, what would that tax document be? My mom will send me her: - IRS tax transcript (recent year only) - W2 (recent year only) - Form 1040 (recent year only) - Passport biopage - Form i134 3. is there any other documents my mom needs to send me besides those listed above? My fiancée’s interview is coming up and we just want to do everything the right way the first time. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I have looked around and found some information from 2009 but wondering who can help me with this. Where is the updated list of what supporting information is needed? The i-134 doesnt call out any specific documents. The list I have so far is; - A signed statement from your employer on business letterhead that states the date and nature of your employment, salary paid, and whether the position is temporary or permanent - A copy of your last U.S. federal income tax return (i am assuming that since my 2020 taxes are being filed now i will use my 2019 tax filing?) - W2 - Past 3-months of pay-stubs Any other items that I should provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am planning to apply for my fiance's K1 visa. I do have a couple of questions regarding the income and I134. I called a couple of lawyer offices and none of them were ready to give me a paid consultation (1 hour or something). They offered packages which were thousands of dollars (4 k being min and as I understand from all the YouTube videos and forums is that lawyers are not essential for this process unless our case has unique circumstances. So, hoping the community here can help me. Some background: Fiance is an Indian citizen currently working in Oman. We have been together for 4 and a half years. Lived in the US for the first three (We were students at the same uni) and then he came back to his home country. We have met twice since October 2019 (We would have more if COVID wasn't a thing). Here are the questions: 1. I made higher than 125% of the poverty line last year (2020), but before that in 2019 I was a student and didn’t earn that much (approx 14k). Will 1 year of over 125% be enough? 2. Do I need to include the I134 with my I129F package or does my fiancé submit it at the interview in his country? 3. If my fiancé has to show it, do I need to courier him the original I134 with originals for supporting docs such as W2/Payslips/Letter from my employer? Another random question, 4) I lived in a dorm from 2016 to 2020. My physical address was my dorm but my tax address was my grandma's (as that was my home away from college). In the address history do I use physical address or tax/important document address? Thank you so much in advance. I am really hoping to not shell out money for a lawyer. And with all the external factors, I am hoping to do everything correct from our side to avoid any delay. Appreciate any help!

Hi everyone, I've got some questions and would love to hear any opinions : 1st question : So, I and my fiance was a little confused about the affidavit of support. He have 2 sources of income. A salaried W2 job, and at the same time, he's also self employed (Independent Contractor). We wanted to know how the consular officer will view his income and how we put that on the form I-134 of Page 3, Part 3, Item Number 3. For the question (My annual income information is) ? Total of both GROSS? Total of both NET? Adjusted both combined? Net both combined? Or W2 : Gross total 1099/Self employed income : Adjusted gross Then ADD them together? 2nd question : For form I-134. We are gonna have the joint sponsor, and the joint sponsor is my fiance's best friend. So, when my joint sponsor files I-134 and it asks " Relationship to sponsor" Page 2, Part 2, Item number 7. Should we write " Close friend of petitioner" or "A joint sponsor of K1" ? Thank you in advance
