Correect, this is what we did when using the I-134, there are two ways of showing capable of support income and assets, if income is more than sufficient then no need to provide asset data. Income should exceed 125% poverty line. My income is well above the 125% level they are concerned about, My concern is that it states right on the 134 instructions if ALL directions and criteria are not followed excatly, They can reject your affidavit.

GUZ speaks out fo both sides of it's mouth. While the instructions say 3 years of tax returns were not required, at thje time we'd shipped the paperwork over there I still hadn't filed my 2010 return. So I sent the "supporting documewntation, including W-2 and all the K-1 and 1099's I had at the time. I filed my 1040 a couple of days later. When ChunMei did her document turn-in the day before her interview the intake clerk told her that they needed 3 years of 1040's, and that if the 2010 1040 wasn't present she'd be blue-slipped. I emailed the 2010 1040 to her and she had a hard copy for the interview. They still questioned her strenuously about why she hadn't turned it in the day before. It plainly ask on the I-134 form for Banking account balances, Do i need to include statements from my bank? According to the I-134 instructions, They are calling for all deposits for the last 12 months, This form was revised 2010!!

Hey guys i have some more questions, My fiance visa has been assigned to Guangzhou, And she is waiting to receive her interview packet, My question is for the I-134 affidavit of support, I have read the instructions online, But they are a bit unclear, Do I need to send this I-134 to my fiance? Or do i need to file it myself? I am not sure! Also in the instructions they are only asking for last years tax return? do i need to send copies of last 3 years? They are asking for a statement from my bank for deposits for the last year. Look guys i have no problem providing them with whatever they want, I am just unclear as what i need to provide, Please help, Thanks Brian

What two items will they ask my finace for? OF-169 and DS-230 (Part 1) They will be filled out and mailed to the consulate here: United States Consulate Guangzhou IV Unit 1 Shamian South Street Guangzhou, 510133 PRC Thank you so much for your help here, But I still have a few questions, When we filed our I-129F appliction we provided certified and translated copies of my fiances records, Birth certificates, ect, Will she need to provide them again in the instruction packet for Guangzhou? If so i need to mail them back to her, But I am not sure if she needs to provide them again since they were allready in our application, Can you clear this up for me? And does she need to pay another 350.00 before her interview? I am a bit fuzzy on this too. Thanks Brian

Hey guys i have some questions, And hopefully someone can help, Today I received I-797 , notice of action, It is a approval notice for a I-129F application, My questions are as follows #1 on the 797 it says Valid 05-09-11 to 09-09-11, What does that meen excatly? #2 Will I be notified of what I need to do next? If yes, How long does this usually take? #3 What will I have to do next? #4 Will they advise me of my finance,s interview date? Or will they contact her directly? And how will they contact her? Mail or e-mail? I really thank everyone in advance for any help here, Thanks Brian, P.S. case assigned to Guangzhou,

What excatly is a service request? I think it is something I should be aware of? and maybe something i should do?

I just hope to get some information here, It has been very helpful in the past. U.S.C.I.S received my I-129F on 11-15-2010, I understand the processing times are taking about 5 months at the Vermont processing center, Where my case was assigned. My concern is that during this time period I have not heard anything from U.S.C.I.S. only a letter stating they had received our application. My question is #1 Is it usual not to hear anything from U.S.C.I.S for so long? I have contacted customer service, And all they say is I should be patient until 04-15-11. #2 They have not requested any further information from me? No taxes requested? Nothing? I am just a little worried. I have all of the E-Mail and text message notfications turned on that i can possibly think of, But nothing yet. Also if the 5 month processing time is up 04-15-11, When can we expect a appointment for a interview? Thanks Brian

The Chinese consulate in Houston (the one I am assigned to) had all the information I needed. It DID have to be notorized by the Chinese consulate though if it was done in America. Si i guess i might as well plan to visit Guangzhou or Shanghi to receive my Marriageability affidavit?

CAn i get a marriageabilty certificate here in the U.S. before i travel to China? or must it be obtained at the consulate in China?

Try checking out www.mydialbox.com it may have what you are looking for.

I checked cheap o air and found a round trip ticket from Charlotte to Gulin China for 701.00 dollars, The only problem is I have to change AIRPORTS in new york, Has anyone dealt with cheap o air before? any problems?

I am allways looking for the cheapest way to travel to china by air, What is the best deals anyone has found?

Hey guys that is a wonderful suggestion, Because my finance and her family is very old fashioned or traditional, It allmost seems to be a black eye for me to visit and stay with her when we are not married, I think a formal announcement and some type of ceremony is in order, We will do everything except register it with local officials, Thanks

I mailed my I-129F about a week ago, And sent the form requesting e-mail or text message notification upon receipt, But have,nt heard anything yet? How long does this usually take? just curious
