Affidavit of Support I-134

[juliecheese83 0]

Hi,

As I look ahead to the paperwork that will need to be completed soon, I become a little concerned about the I-134 form. I am employed and I earn well over the poverty guidelines (265% - over double the 125% cutoff). I do not, however, have anything really in the way of savings, bonds, property, etc. Are those kinds of things required (or strongly recommended?), or are they just other ways to show your finances if you do not happen to be employed?

If you know any stories of people running into trouble for not having those things, please let me know. Thank you

No they aren't required its only if you do not meet 125% of the poverty guidelines.

Yeah, not required. You'll definitely be in the green with double the required amount of salary.

Perfect. Thanks to you both for your help.

I don`t mean to hijack this thread but since this is the same topic I don`t want to fill up the forum with repeated posts. What if you don`t have any savings yet and u are below the 125% cut off will that make a impact towards my affidavit? As previously posted my dad will be co-sponsoring and he owns properties,bonds and all that stuff. I really can`t wait to graduate

If you don't meet the 125% and have a co/joint sponsor that meets it then you have no worry about yourself not having savings. Thats the point of having someone help you by being a co/joint sponsor.

You would only use savings if you have no one to help you out with sponsoring if you were trying to do it all on your own.
