I-134 issues

[coldasice_79 0]

I was just looking at the forms needed for when i go in for my interview and wanted to know some information regarding the I-134 form. I spoke to my fiancee and she stated that she has already filled in this form and has sent a copy in. Do I still need to bring a form completed by her or is the one that they should have sufficient? If it is not sufficient, will a copy of the old form do? or will she have to do the whole thing over again? any words of advice here would be very helpful, am so tired of the form filling.

You will need an original copy of a completed, notarized, I-134 with supporting evidence when you go to the interview. If your fiancé has already sent one in with the I-129f, that was wasted time and effort, since it's not needed until the K-1 interview.

The evidence presented with the I-134 needs to be current. 3 months is the preferrable maximum age of this evidence.

I-134 in NOT needed when filing the I-129F, it is needed by the fiancee or spouse when visiting the Consulate for the visa interview.

A new one is needed within a few months before the interview.

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.
