After being redirected to different departments within the USCIS, I was finally instructed to contact the embassy where the interview will take place with my question about tax transcripts. I simply wanted to know if I should supply my own tax transcripts since I have never filed before (full-time student) and if I should provide my mother's, since every year she has claimed me. They basically told me that with form I-134, I do not need to provide any extra documents???? I thought they treated this as form I-864; as an affidavit of support. I have a co-sponsor and everything for this form and now they tell me otherwise, regardless of the instructions.

Here is my original email:

"I filed form I-129F in February 2012 as a petition for a K-1 fiance(e) visa. I am currently gathering the required documents for my fiancee's interview, which will be in Madrid. My question is about form I-134, the affidavit of support. My fiancee and I have a co-sponsor for the K-1 visa, but I am aware that I need to provide supporting documents as well - I was wondering if I need to provide a tax transcript with this form if I have not filed taxes. My situation is that I have been a full-time college student and my mother (who is not the cosponsor) has been claiming me on her taxes. If so, shall I submit my own or my mother's tax transcript?"

Here is their reply:

"If you are going to present your own I-134 you do not need to attach any extra document, with that form is enough, and we won´t need your mother´s I-134, as after you get married with your fiancé you will have to file a form I-864 and there is where you will have to proof you have income, or present a co-sponsor, but for the K1 your I-134 is enough."

I would imagine you will have to get the embassy in contact first if they allow co-sponsors. If so you would need your Mothers Tax transcript and a letter stating why you can't sponsor as you are a full time student. She how ever needs to make enough to cover herself, you, and or family members plus the immigrant sponsoring. I would say amost don't trust them on the I-134 as everything will be needed during the interview. You will need tax transcript, letter of employment status, and/or current paystubs if they allow co-sponsoring. Good Luck to you.

Well, my mother isn't our co-sponsor. That's why I was wondering if I should send hers - since she claimed me and I haven't filed.

Provide your I-134 with a statement explaining that you are a full time student and did not earn enough(or earned zero) to be legally required to file taxes.

Provide your co-sponsor's I-134 with their 2011 tax transcript, letter from their employer, few months recent pay stubs and proof of being a USC or LPR (copy of birth certificate, naturalization, bio page of US passport, or front and back copy of green card).
