I was going to place on the I-134 the exact income amount that my employee letter states, but it is a bit less (few thousand) than what my 1040 income tax return states. Either way, its well above poverty level. The 1040 is higher from working some overtime. Is it ok that the two do not match ???
It is absolutely ok. Ryan's ITR and the amount of his salary written on the employment certification didn't match either. Although he reminded me that if the screener/interviewer asks why it didn't match, I will tell them that it's because of his overtime pay. They really didn't ask me about it.
Good luck!
