I am a college student

[mikeascalzo]

I am a senior in college and I'm going through the p3 part of the k-1 visa right now. I just want to know what additional paperwork would be good for me to send to my fiancee for her interview, as well as what kind of questions they would ask her in terms of me being a student. My parents are willing to help out in any way, I just need some more information on this.

One thing that comes to mind is that you may need your parents to cosponsor your fiance. Did you research the links here on getting started?

Correct.

 

You may want to look up the "Kitchen Sink" here on CFL

 

Things you should send to her for interview are

 

Affidavit of support (I-134)

Chat logs

Phone logs

Sample emails

Renewed fiancee letter of intent.

 

If your income is not sufficient, and your parents are willing they can co-sponsor by providing an I-134

 

The directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

 

The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

 

In our case this what the I-134 included.

• I-134.
   
  
• SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc156.html?portlet=1
   
  
• Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)
   
  
• Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.
   
  
• Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.
  

My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

 

If income exceeds 125% of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.

A few notes about Affidavit of Support.

1. If using co-sponsors, you the petitioner are still required to provide one even with low to no income because you are the primary sponsor.
   
2. If you are living outside the USA as a student, perhaps studying in China, you may be required to provide evidence of your US Domicile.
