Help with I-134 question

[afo2422 0]

Can you use your 401K as financial supporting evidence? And if so should that be listed under stocks and bonds?

I also have a question about 125%of the poverty level. I hear everyone talking about this but can anyone tell me the exact amount in dollars what the current level is? Is it around $17,000 or am I way off? I just want to know so I know if I am above this level or not.

Thank you.

It depends on where you live and on the household size including the people you are petitioning for. Without these information no one can give you a clear answer.

And every person in the household counts!

The document you need to look at is here:

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.

Assets need to be liquid. Would you readily cash in a 401K considering the tax penalty?
