[Cham 3]

I only have one tax return as I was able to finally fo back to work last year. BUT it is ####### and I made very little.

I now make the 125% and have proof so what do I do about that?? will they deny me because of that???

I have letters from employer ect as well. So not sure GRRRR

My understanding is that you can use recent wage slips and a letter from your employer confirming that your total annual income is now $x and a covering letter explaining why your last return was below. If you're very close to the 125%, it might be worth seeing if you can get a co-sponsor for peace of mind, if anything.

Also consider any assets you have that you might be able to use - savings, etc.

Well I did get a letter from Sydney embassy stating I can use my SSI payments that I receive for my accident as well as my current job..SO that is a HUGE plus and they said i do not need a co sponser (THANK THE HEAVENS!!!)

Your advice is great..ty ty ty!!!!!!

That is why you get a letter from employer, and attach copies of recent pay stubs to the I-134.

Also more than likely you may have visa interview around March or April, in this case US Citizen can file 2008 return and provide a copy of the (1040/W2/1099) with the 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.
