about I-134

[NANDA 0]

Guys, my husband needs help. Someone?

In regards to the Affidavit of Support (I-134), what forms of proof of income are acceptable? Can I use only Tax Transcripts or do I need to present W-2's or copys of 1040's that were mailed to the IRS or all of these documents?

In regards to the Affidavit of Support (I-134), If I were to file my 2007 taxes a week before my interview, could I bring a copy of the 1040 that I submitted to the IRS or do I need a copy or something that has been issued by the IRS?

In regards to the Affidavit of Support (I-134), if my father were to be the sponsor, would my mother have to sign the bottom of the Affidavit of Support along side my fathers signature or does she not need to? If so, does she have to submit information regarding herself or is her signature all she would need to do?

If you use transcripts, you do not need W-2's. If you use copies of the 1040's, you need the W-2's also. We used the 1040's w/ W-2s on ours.

I really wouldn't worry about the 2007 taxes that close to any interview. Just use previous year's.

I'm not sure about your father/mother thing. Somenone else will know that.

Good luck to you.

Tax transcripts are acceptable over (1040/W2/1099)

Yes you can bring the 2007 return with you, and should just in the case that they ask to see it.

If father will be CO Sponsor than just father needs to sign it. Note: US citizen that filed the petition for the immigrant visa must be primary sponsor.

One thing about I-134, the directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

In our case this what the I-134 included.

• I-134 signed and notarized.

• SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

• Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)

• Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.

• Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.

My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

If your income exceeds 125% of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.
