I-134 Affidavit - Tax Return

[Jeff A 3]

Hello everyone. I am still NOA1, only 36 days into the process. But I am preparing for my I-134 for when we ge our approval :-)

I noticed that it says you do not have to provide a tax return, just paystubs and a letter from your employer. But other people have told me you have to provide a tax return.

Which is right or maybe better said, which is the best to do?

Thanks,

-Jeff

Hi, on the contrary, pay stub is optional. ITR is a must. At least here in Philippines.

God bless!

It is best to cover all your bases and also provide your most recent tax transcript along with the employer letter and most recent pay stub(s). Some consulates do not absolutely require them, but most others seem to.

Your tax return transcripts from the IRS will be requested if you don't have them. So, better be ready and request them and have them handy. Good luck.

Actually I-134 doesn't require a tax return. (read the I-134 instructions from USCIS for confirmation)

BUT some embassies will ask for this. You'll need it for AOS anyway, so it will be usefull at one point, even if not necessarily so soon. I'd say get it, because better be safe than sorry.

Even with your tax returns, get your pay stubs and letter from the employer. This is requested officially (again, in the instructions from USCIS)...

Best!
