Re: I-134 support and Change of Address woes
His salary should be enough to cover it (its 57,000/year), but he included the bank info in the packet he sent to us just to be on the safe side by providing as much information as possible.
I can obtain copies of the last 3 years tax returns. Do those need to be notarized copies or can they just be photocopies?
And what would you recommend for proof of US Citizenship? A copy of a birth certificate? He doesn't have a passport (weird, I know).

Good eye, though. Trust me, I *WISH* we were already at the adjustment of status stage.
I am about 5 seconds away from tears as I write this. Every time I think I have my stuff together, I read a post referring to something I didn't even think of or totally missed the first 500 times of reading. I have dreams about this interview and its not even MY interview.

Trust me - far better to realised you're missing stuff now rather then on the day of the interview........
Just take your time and don't spend too many big chunks of time on one subject - I found doing that I would be looking at the answer and couldn't see it. Try and do a bit each day, if possible. It'll all be fine, just take your time

I really REALLY appreciate all of the help. You guys are all so fantastic and so knowledgeable. Hopefully I can be on your end soon!
And Jeff, I honestly didn't know that AOS didn't mean "affidavit of support". Since I haven't begun to prepare for Adjustment of Status, I haven't read much on the forum about it yet. My apologies for the confusion and I'll be more careful next time.

Re: I-134 support and Change of Address woes
Hi all,
This is our first post. My fiancée and I have applied for a K-1 visa for myself. We've gone through the stresses of the petition and the packet 3 and the medical..
I have my interview scheduled for January
I have a couple of questions....
Firstly, with regards to the I-134... What supporting documents do we really need (London office)? We have a letter from her employer in the US, a letter from her bank documenting her balance and her custom for the past 12 months.
I am concerned that she doesn't have the IRS tax transcripts? Are these needed? Any idea how quickly they can be processed? She lives in California.
This is the biggest thing that's worrying me, I've seen other threads by people saying they have been put on the Additional processing list because they don't have these forms?! Is this true?

I have a question regarding this as well.
My dad completed the I-134 for my UK fiance, since I don't make enough money to show that I can support us. I have his AOS and the required evidence for that, however, do I still need to provide tax and financial info for myself? I thought that if he showed that he would support both of us, my info isn't really needed in the K-1 interview.
Is that right?

K-1ers! I know you get nerves and all, but I haven't seen anyone mention that they have actually read the instructions from the Embassy.
Evidence Which May Be Presented to Meet the Public Charge Provisions of the Law
Also, her tenancy at her current house is expiring JUST before I would be due to come over :-s
Meaning she would be living somewhere different to the address listed on my K-1.
Any ideas what we need to do about this? She may even move just after my interview :-/
Thanks for your help!!

Its not that we aren't reading. Or at least I can speak for myself by saying that I do read up on the info. But as I'm sure all of you know - its all very confusing and VERY scary. If you miss out or overlook one thing, it can screw things up for you big time. I'm sure you all know that too.
I know that it can seem annoying that we ask the same questions over and over again, but you've all been there before, too, right?
Even though things are stated very clearly in the embassy links, it still feels good to have someone who has been through the process clarify things for you one more time.

Yes, that's why many people hire lawyers. (And why some who don't, should.)

Re: I-134 support and Change of Address woes
I understand your point here too. We hired a lawyer who have us horrible advice and cost us a lot of money. Now we are doing it on our own (and with some much appreciate help from this forum and other forums as well).

I caught my lawyer making mistakes as well. By the way you can have tax transcripts faxed to you too.

If one is going to hire a lawyer, they should exercise at least as much care in making their selection as they would use when chosing their dry cleaner.

Re: I-134 support and Change of Address woes
My lawyer was referred to me by my cousin who is also a lawyer. After my experience with her I don't have too much faith in his recommendations for anything!
