I-134 Question

[agreenw 0]

I have a few questions for the I-134. My father has offered to be our co-sponsor and makes well above the poverty guidelines for our household size. My mother (who is married to my father) also works but will not be listed as a co-sponsor. They file their taxes jointly.

Here are my questions:

1. Should my father list my mother as partially dependent on the I-134? Again, they both work and they file their taxes jointly.

2. Will there be any problems because they file jointly but only my father is the co-sponsor?

3. Because my father's income is higher than the poverty guidelines for our household size, does he need to list his bank savings, mortgage, life insurance, etc. on page 2 or can he just list his income?

4. If he just lists his income, are the paystubs and W-2s/ tax forms the only supplement documents he will need?

Thanks for your help!

wholly dependent .

there will be no problems.

3. Because my father's income is higher than the poverty guidelines for our household size, does he need to list his bank savings, mortgage, life insurance, etc. on page 2 or can he just list his income?

his income is enough.

4. If he just lists his income, are the paystubs and W-2s/ tax forms the only supplement documents he will need?

3. Because my father's income is higher than the poverty guidelines for our household size, does he need to list his bank savings, mortgage, life insurance, etc. on page 2 or can he just list his income? No need to list assets if income is sufficient.

4. If he just lists his income, are the paystubs and W-2s/ tax forms the only supplement documents he will need? I would use tax transcripts from the IRS

I would recommend that your Father get tax transcripts from the IRS. You will also need proof that he is a LPR or USC--Birth certificate, US passport, etc. You will also need your tax return from last year. USCIS expects you to file a tax return every year as a LPR or USC.

Good luck,

Dave

1. I would list her as wholly dependent, since she is residing in the house and will be counted in the household size.

2. There will be no problems.

3. If his income is sufficient there is no need to list other assets. You can leave these parts blank.

4. For proof of income, your father should have: copies of paystubs, employer letter on company letterhead, the last 3 years tax return transcripts.

Your father also will need to prove his status in the US by providing a copy of his birth certificate, copies of all pages of his passport, or copies of any document that will prove either his citizenship or permanent resident status.
