I-134 dependents

[Chriscvh 0]

Hello all,

I am working on the I-134 Affidavit of Support and have a couple questions for those of you that have been through it all.

1. Do I need to list my children (4 children) under the age of 18 as wholly dependent even if they are with the ex-spouse?

2. Do I need to add the ex-spouse (a US Citizen) as a dependent in whole are in part if part of the divorce was to pay alimony and child support?

3. Does the alimony I pay count against my income for the standard?

4. Does the child support count against my income for the standard?

5. Is my income enough?

Employer gave me a letter stating that I make a base of $41,600 USD

I have been employed for 7 months and have made more than that($42,131 in 7 months) with the over-time that is mandatory.

I know this may be a long set of questions and maybe sharing too much information but I think the more info I give the more accurate the answers will be.

Provide the letter and most recent pay stub(s) that show year to date income totals along with your most recent tax transcript.

Have one more for you out there!

When the I-134 is completed and signed by me do I send it to my fiance for her to take in? or do I send it elsewhere?

The instructions on where to send this are vague at best!

Thanks!!

Mail the I-134, supporting documents and an updated letter of intent to your fiancee so she can take them to her interview.

Thanks Jay-Kay !!

Do you have any sample "Letter of Intent?"

From what I am reading and understand, my fiance needs to write one as well. Correct?

Thanks for all your help!

Same ones as you sent with the I-129F petition. Just make new ones for the consulate. See the example forms here on VJ.

Thanks Jay-Kay !!

I have been reading that some people are sending in the IRS tax transcripts and others are sending in the W-2/1099 and the 1040. I have the W-2's and the 1040's that were sent in. is one better than the other? and do they need to be "certified" or "notarized" ??

Thanks again for all your help!!

You should take either a complete copy of your tax return with all forms, schedules, W-2s and/or 1099s, or a tax return transcript from the IRS. Either one works, unless your consulate specifically requests one or the other. No need to get anything notarized.
