I-134 F and DS-156

[Alex&Mari 0]

Hello VJ!

I have a question about the documents that I need to submit with the I-134 Affidavit of Support. I emailed the Consulate (Bolivia) and they told me that the documents for financial support are:

* Form I-134, Affidavit of Support plus W2 and 1040 of last year

* They don't require pay stubs (and in rare cases they ask for employment letter)

I have read a lot in VJ that we need the last 3 tax transcripts, but they ask only for the last. I'm already have JUST a copy of 1040 and W2 of 2010 and anyways I have an employment letter.

Also, they require to print and complete two copies of DS-156 form. Is not an electronically form? They issued only Packet 4 and we need to send all the required documents at least 15 - 10 days before interview date. We don't have our NVC case number yet, but the Consulate told me: "Once we send the Packet 4, the process is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. So, we are gathering the documents to gain time, practically they listed every document that contains Packet 4.

I know that each Consulate works differently but I would like to take in consideration your advices.

Thanks,

Alex & Mari

tax transcripts and W-2's are important. I submitted 2010 tax transcripts, W-2's, employment letter, pay stubs, bank statement. And to make sure, I have the last two years which is 2008 and 2009 tax transcripts and W-2 for back up just in case they ask but they didnt.

DS-156 https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp

Good Luck!

True - every consolate works differently! Someone from Bolicia can probably give you more specific advice to their experiences; however, it's good that you have 2010 W2/1040s and employment letter. It wouldn't hurt to be over-prepared.. I think that's what a lot of it is. People want to provide a 'mountain' of things so that there's near enough no possibility that anything will go wrong.

I won't advise what to do, as I can't say I know Bolivia ;-)

All the best though!
