Originals for affidavit?

[Kweli 3]

In packet 3 , I should provide an affidavit of support. Is it possible that someone other than the US citizen sponsors me? Should I have that person send me the originals of the bank statement and employer statement? Will the consulate ask for these originals?

I have another question: Must the sponsor absolutely be a USC or a permanent resident?

1. You can have a cosponsor in addition to the USC sponsor

2. Yes they must be a USC or permanent resident.

3. Yes send originals

As I understand it, the sponsor is the USC, and a co-sponsor is someone the USC uses to help them meet the financial requirments to bring their fiance to the US.

I have a question regarding the tax returns, 1099's etc. needed to support the income needed for the I-134.

First, I am the USC and I am on disability, not working. That is my only income. On my 1099 from SS it states that part of my disability income may be taxable if I make additional income. I read that if the sponsor is not required to file tax return they needed to write a letter listing the reason they are not to file. And they also want a copy of the IRS booklet page where it backs up that reason. I have written a letter telling them that I did not file because I am disabled and only receive disability income. And refer them to the copy of my 1099. I also have a copy of my 1099. Question: Is this sufficient or is it necessary that I attach a copy of the IRS publication page where it backs up my reason?

Second question: My parents are to be our co-sponsors and will fill out their own I-134's. Regarding the tax return copies needed and 1099's, etc., can all these be plain photocopies or must I send my parents original 1099 copies as well as order a certified copy of the 3 years tax returns from IRS?

Third question: Since the I-134 does not list any requirements for needed income, is it safe to go with the 125% Poverty Level Guidelines used for the I-864? My parents are both retired and have SS income plus anuity income that meets that.

Would appreciate any help please.

Well, I don't know many of the answers, but I can tell you that it would definitely be safe to go with the 125% poverty level as your guideline. The I-134 does not have a specific number like the I-864 but many Embassys judge it (the I-134) with either 100% or 125% of poverty level, so I'd go with the higher number to be safe

As far as originals and copies go, you should probably send both. Sometimes the Embassy likes to keep a copy but they usually also want to just see the original, so go ahead and get those originals and make copies for the Embassy to keep should they want them.
