Hi everyone,

I was reading the instructions for I-134 and it states:

"Evidence should consist of copies of any of the documents listed below that applies to your situation.

A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions with deposits, identifying the following details regarding the account:

1. Date account opened;

2. Total amount deposited for the past year; and 3. Present balance.

B. Statement(s) of your employer on business stationery showing:

1. Date and nature of employment;

2. Salary paid; and

3. Whether the position is temporary or permanent.

C. If self-employed:

1. Copy of last income tax return filed; or 2. Report of commercial rating concern."

As it says 'any' and not 'all' of the documents listed, does this mean just a letter from your employer if you are way above the 125% poverty is enough evidence? Has anyone supplied only the employer letter and been approved? I am in Australia.

I appreciate your help

I would not provide only that. You can provide tax returns, they are easy to get from the IRS, as well as pay stubs. Those evidences are more appreciated but the embassy/USCIS, and better be safe (particularly when it's easy to get those documents) than sorry.

The recent paystubs are a better proof of current income than the letter.

Thanks everyone for your input. The reason I ask is that there is a hold up with my fiancés taxes so in the event that we are approved soon we wanted to know if we could get by with just the employer letter and pay stubs. I have also sent an email to the embassy in Sydney asking them to clarify the evidence required. I will let everyone know what their response is.

If a filing extension has been granted, submit a copy of that letter.

You need to provide supporting evidence of emploment letter. Pay stubs, W-2, tax returns or transcripts.

When you refer to transcripts what exactly are you referring to? I'm gathering my information for I-134 and have all the other items except "transcripts". We are filing for the k1 (NOA2 recvd 3/8/13)so want to be sure if these transcripts will apply for K1.

Thank you.
