I-134 question on bank statements

[Jay and Tin 0]

Hello all,

I'm preparing my I-134 now. I bank with bank of america and many a years ago (long story) when I prepared an I-134 I was having a hard time for the bank to give me what I needed. Finally I was able to talk to someone that understood what I needed. I filled out a form and I can't remember what that form was called. I do remember it had "immigration" in the name. If someone knows what I'm talking about and the name of the request form so that I can walk in the bank and tell them I need to fill out a ????????? request. Hoping that will make it much easier than last time.

Thanks

For the Affidavit of Support - unless you are using the cash-in-bank as an asset (to make up some shortfall in income) - you do not need to include bank statements (nor stocks/bonds, real estate, etc).

** Topic is Interview/Embassy-related and would be most appropriate in our US Embassy/Consulate Discussion Forum (rather than K-1 Procedures); moving thread there.

So last three years W2's w/ statements and a letter from my employer should be enough?

Thanks for the quick reply btw!

Most folks - will include as many recent pay stubs as they can/prefer (although one or two would probably be enough) - they will likely also include at least the most recent year's tax return and supporting documents (such as W-2's) - some may include the prior 2 years as well (for example, if you're self employed).

Yeah forgot the pay stubs Well, thanks for your help! I think I'm good to go here.
