K-1 Visa Applicant

I am filing the I-134 Form in connection with my I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance. I
am the Petitioner.

Instructions (Rev. 10/12/00)Y Item A - Numbers 1, 2, 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does anyone have an opinion as to what the INS considers most important --- the
current balance in ones' checking account, or their annual salary??

I am wondering if I should wait for my next paycheck to be deposited so that the
letter from my bank reflects a higher available amount of cash. My annual salary is
35,500.00 per year; is this enough support for two adults according to INS standards?

Instructions (Rev. 10/12/00)Y Item D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do not have any bonds. Is this OK? The section of the I-134 application asks to
list serial numbers of bonds, etc.

Application (Rev. 10/12/00)Y Number 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This question asks if I have any other "personal property, the reasonable value of
which is..." What is considered "personal property" -- computers, general material
household things such as an expensive television, etc.?

Application (Rev. 10/12/00)Y Number 8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Question number 8 asks if my alien fiance(e) is wholly or partially dependent on me
for support. As my alien fiance will have to look for a job here after marriage, is
it valid to answer "wholly" to this question?

**Thank you, everyone. Any bit of advice is appreciated. - Chumpster

Thank you, Diane.

If anyone can help us answer the "wholly" or "partially" question that we're
concerned about (see below), please do.

Thanks to everyone!

According to what I've read, what counts most is your income. Savings, personal
property, and stocks or bonds are taken into consideration only if your salary does
not meet the poverty guidelines, which indicate that you must make 125% of the
poverty level. There is a sheet with the I-134 that lists the poverty levels, I can't
find mine, but it's something like $18000/year. Your income is more than adequate.

I don't think that your current balance will make any difference. They want to verify
that you have been steadily depositing cash over the last year.

As long as your income is adequate, they don't care.

Once again, you can enter whatever personal property you have, but it won't matter if
you meet income levels, which you do.

I hope that someone else will reply to this one. I was going to put "NONE" under this
question, since I interpreted it to be asking if I have dependents in the U.S.
already, which I don't. I am more concerned about question 10, which asks if I've
submitted Visa petitions for anyone. Of course I submitted one for Eddie, so it seems
I should put his name there, but since this is a petition of support for Eddie, it
seems redundant. I haven't done a web search on the correct answer to this one, so I
haven't posted it as a question.

Good Luck.

Chumpster,

For starters, you do not need to file the I-134 with the I-129F. That form is
required in it's original form with original supporting documents AT the interview.
The INS service center does not need it to process the I-129F..... If you feel
compelled to file it with the I-129F make sure it is a copy and get the original to
your fiance for the interview.

Odds are she will not be working for a while, so the answer is wholly.

I thought the entire form was for you to show your support for your alien fiance(e)
do you have to list her or him in line 8 as well, or just other other dependents
(ex-wifes, existing children, etc.)

Diane answered your I-134 question very well.

As far as the "have you submitted a visa for a person" question that is referring to
in the past, not for the current application. You have NOT submitted this
application yet so the answer would be NO if you have never submitted an application
for another person.

Unless you are current supporting your fiancé then the answer to the other question
is NO. They are asking if you are currently support them, not if you will be
supporting them.

You don't need to prove assets if your income is enough.

You don't need a bank letter if your income meets the standards.

No, you better go out and buy some bonds. Hahaha! If your income is enough, you do
not need bank letter. If your income is enough, you do not need to list any assets.

Yes, personal property is personal property. Like when you get your homeowner's or
renter's insurance, they ask for your personal property value so they know what to
insure you for.

Wholly until she gets a job, so wholly.

As for question 8, they are asking for people you currently support, not in the
future. You would not list her here at all.
