What is the best way for self empolyed Petitioners to qualify on the Affidavit of Support form if the last year tax return do not meet the minimum poverty level?

Can bank statements be used from a business acount?

Must the Petitioner meet 125% of the minimum poverty level for all members of family including Fiancee? or just current members?

Line 22 of the most recent 1040 tax return is the income evaluated for a self employed person.

Household size would be the petitioner, beneficiary, and any other dependents.

Do the Same Income Requirements Apply to Form I-134 as Apply to Form I-864?

No. The 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline minimum income requirement, the most recent year's tax return, and other requirements only apply when Form I-864 is needed. Applicants presenting Form I-134 will need to show that their U.S. sponsor's income is 100 percent of the federal poverty guideline.

Not true for all. It is wise to check wih the embassy/consulate where the immigrant will apply for the visa. Many apply the I-864 standards to the I-134 in support of a K visa petition.

Funds in a business account are less likely to be considered.

Exactly correct. It's not too late to make the last tax year 2010 though and to make sure line 22 shows enough income for the current household plus the intending immigrant. Liquid personal assets can also be used to offset an income shortfall. It takes three buck in assets to offset a dollar of income shortfall.

Bear in mind that if you later remember some more deductible expenses, nothing prevents you from filing an amended tax return later after all applicable affidavits of support have been evaluated.
