MarsofBorg Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I am a little puzzled about question 10. Do I put my fiancees namehere or is this question concerning if I have submitted a petition foranother person at another time? This is for a K-1 visa. Thanks Link to comment
cosmiclobster Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 If would be nice if they had line by line instructions on how to fill these things out. From what I could decipher, they are asking if I did in fact submit a visa petition for my fiancée, which is yes, so I put her name here. Most likely some of my learned colleagues will chime in here and confirm or deny this. Link to comment
Trigg Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 It wants to know if YOU have petitioned before. Link to comment
cosmiclobster Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Oh Trigg, Great Emperor, Wise Man in general and daddy to us all:I'm not saying I don't trust you 100% and would not lay down my life for you, BUTI would feel better with some input from some others who have successfully navigated through this hoop. So I ask again: Question 10 on I134 form: None or current beneficiary ???And as an extra bonus and to help those who have not gotten to this part yet, this helpful hint: When you print the I134, print it on both sides of the same page. This is so that it is one single document with 1 notary seal instead of 2 pages of a document with 1 seal for both pages or 2 seals on 2 seperate pages. 1 page with 1 seal avoids any ambiguity. Also, do not make any changes or corrections after it has been sealed, as this effectively voids the seal ! Link to comment
tywy_99 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I134F? What is that? A new malt liquor?............. Link to comment
cosmiclobster Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I134F? What is that? A new malt liquor?............. OK OK I went brain dead for a second!!I have removed the extraneous F from the I134.Now, how about an answer to my question, tywy?? P.S. You are way up there on my top 10 list of knowledgable posters!!! B) P.P.S. I will save the malt liquor until after she is safely here in the US, has cleared customs and we have both sucessfully negotiated L.A. traffic and we are home!!! Link to comment
tywy_99 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 The I-134 has been the most questioned form on this board than any other form, it seems. And what I have learned is that people interpret in different ways. Also, I think that the I-134 is not that much to be concerned over as long as the petitioner can meet the requirements. Since the creation of the I-864, the I-134 has lost some of its bite. I'm not saying to take it lightly but don't take it too seriously either. Save the over-seriousness for the I-864. This is a contractually binding form ever more so than the I-134.With that said, don't worry about any small and insignificant 'typos' should you notice them later on the I-134 either. In most cases, the VO doesn't even ask for the form.As far as question #10 goes; I put NONE. Others have put the beneficiary/applicant's name down. Again, it is no big deal.Some ppl have used 3 tax returns; some, just one. Again, it is sort of a preference thing and whatever the petitiioner is comfortable with. Using one sheet of paper is a good idea. But I used two. Again, preference. Don't sweat this form too much, people. Just prepare it neatly and to the best of your knowledge. Save the sweating for the I-864!...... Link to comment

So I ask again: Yes and you show wisom beyond your years as in my hecktic flurry of important ordained duties, I misread the question. The answer I gave was at the very leasts brilliant. However, it was possibly geared for a different question. It is slightly possible that I may have been wrong. Once in the past I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken. I did manage to successfully navigate through an I-134 but never an I-134f. Unfortunatley I have slept since then and can't remember anything about it except they never looked at it. Link to comment
kfman Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I completed and sent in my I864, and I always hear people talking of the I134 so I downloaded it and was trying to fill it out when I came to the conculsion it was like repeating the 864. So I guess I will ask this: If we fill out an I864, do we have to complete the I134 if I am applying for the CR1. I really cannot recall ever being asked for it.. only read about it here.. What say ye, oh brave and smart gentlemen and gentleladies? Link to comment
Trigg Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Best I know is that the I-134 is what GZ asks for proof of ability to support. Once in the US I had to file for AOS (Adjsutment of status) and fill out the I-184. I'd like to say that because I had to you should have to.--but I doubt it and don't really know for sure.

Guest Long_strider Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 On item ten, put the name of the person you have assisted in obtaining the visa for (ie. on a K-1, your fiance (and children, if any). Remember the I-134 might also be used to co-sponsor someone who did not assist in obtaining the visa, (for example, another family member co-sponsoring your fiance if your income is below 125% of the poverty level. just my 1 and 1/2 cents long_strider Link to comment

What say ye, oh brave and smart gentlemen and gentleladies? The I-864 varies significantly from the I-134 Affidavit of Support currently in use. It is much longer and far more technical than the I-134. As a legally binding document, it necessarily contains contractual language and legal terminology and will be difficult for many petitioners to complete without assistance. The I-864 is to be used only with the immigrant visa categories listed in Para 7 below. Any other visa case, immigrant or nonimmigrant, which may require an Affidavit of Support to meet public charge provisions should use the I-134. A little dope on the subject posted above. You are an IV petitioner so you will need the I-864 instead of the older I-134. NVC will handle the I-864 and send it to GZ.But is is a good idea to let your wife take a completed I-864 with her at time of interview. Link to comment
kfman Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Bahan noticed about 15 days on your timeline for the P-3 supplemental from NVC. Nice suprise wasn't it?Yuppers... and I hope for quick movement now... hahahhahahahhahahahahahahahhahahaah... oh well. At least it will make me chuckle. I gave LuJing a copy of all paperwork, including the I184. I think now I will go ahead and complete a fresh I134 right before the interview, and then if they ask, we will have it on hand... Thanks..

Being a petitioner for an immigrant visa, you will be wasting your time on an I-134. The I-864 was introduced in December 1997 as a more binding contract in provisions of the public charge. Some petitioners for K-1 visas are even required to submitt an I-864 in some countries and not the I-134 as it once was.Have an I-134 prepared for the interview if you must but it will be to your advantage to have an I-864 prepared because that will be the form they will want to see if they ask for any support affidavit at all.
