I-134 help after approved I-129f {k-3}
I am an American citizen currently living IN CANADA with my husband,
who is a Canadian citizen. We want to file for a K-3 visa. However, I
have heard that once the I-129f petition is approved, I must send an
I-134 affadavit of support to the consolate in order to get the K-3
visa!
Here's my problem:
Because I'm in Canada under temporary status, I cannot work, nor have
I ever had any work experience. Also, I am pregnant, so going back to
the States by myself to get a job would prove to be highly difficult
and heartbreaking.
My husband works, but we don't have much of anything in our bank
account {roughly $3000 CA}
How can I satisfy this affidavit of support? {for instance, can I get
my parents, who are in the States and whom we are going to be staying
with until my husband is approved for work, fill out and notorize a
copy and send it to me to give to the consolate?} Being in Canada,
under the situation that I am in, do I even NEED to fill out this
form?
If you have experience dealing with the Canadian consolate over this
issue, please help me! I'm highly worried and am lost for what to do.

Re: I-134 help after approved I-129f {k-3}
You can get a co-sponsor (family, friend, etc) to fill out the form and get the required supporting documents that are listed on the instructions. They just do the exact same thing that you would have to do to prepare it for your husband to take to the interview. As long as they meet the poverty guideline requirements, it'll be fine.
You *do* need to fill one out yourself, though, and probably write a cover letter explaining why you don't meet the requirements, and that someone else will be co-sponsoring your spouse. Lots of people are in a similar situation and haven't had any problems with using a co-sponsor.

Re: I-134 help after approved I-129f {k-3}
Thanks for your help so far (: Now, can ANYONE be a co-sponsor for the
I-134? I know for the I-864 affadavit of support that I'll be filling
out when my husband applies to change his status {you know, the big,
detailed affidavit that requires tax information, etc.} only relatives
of my husband who are living in the States can be a co-sponsor. {He
doesn't have any.} Is this the same for the I-134 or will the
Consolate not care in this case as long as there is some sort of proof
of support once he gets to the States? Thanks a lot...

As far as I know, it can be anyone as long as they live in the US and have some kind of income in the US.

I read from a response to my question in another forum that my husband
may be denied his K3 visa because we are relying soley on co-sponsor
income. Has anyone heard of an occurance like this?? Would this apply
to my situation, being in Canada with my husband and also being
pregnant? We will be relying soley on co-sponsor support and I am
worried that it may actually prove to be a problem...

Your husband can be denied if they are not convinced that he will not
become a public charge. They can take anything and everything that is
presented to them into account, including the cosponsor. Those relying
solely on a cosponsor have been denied, but my impression is that this
is much more likely in third world countries.
