I-134 Questions

[afoyoswa 178]

So, I am working on the I-134 in preparation for Aaron's interview, and I am wondering:

1) In the section that asks about visa petitions submitted (question #10), which date should I use as the date our petition was submitted: the date I sent it, the date VSC received it, or the date the NOA1 was issued? (Does it matter?)

2) For financial records, I have:

--tax transcripts (the 4 most recent years)

--printouts of my pay statements from the online program my company uses for payroll: we do not receive paper checks (biweekly statements, as far back as necessary)

--printouts of my tax returns generated by the online tax preparation program I used (as far back as necessary)

--W-2s (as far back as necessary)

How many of each of these do I need to supply?

3) On the I-134, I reported my income from the job that I list in question #7, which is plenty to exceed the poverty guidelines for a household size consisting of my fiance and me. However, my W-2s and tax transcripts show multiple other sources of income (some of which I still have). Should the figure in question #7 be my total income (which varies a lot), or is it okay to list my income from my primary, permanent job only?

Whoa...are we supposed to list the petition that we're working on currently? I didn't list that - sigh.

How about getting the tax account records? Comes pretty fast in the mail and will take care of all the multiple W2 questions since it will report your total income from all sources.

You can list the date on the NOA1.

You really only need the 2011 tax transcript(no need for W-2s with transcripts from the IRS), letter from employer(if you have one) and your pay statements, but you can include the last 3 years of transcripts if you think it would help show the beneficiary will not become a public charge.

If you meet the requirement with your primary job, then you can simply list it on the form and include a statement about the other income plus documentation for it.
