For I-134 Affidavit of Support Form, what constitutes "personal property?"

[Lovecouple 15]

Perhaps it's a silly question, but what is the range of things that falls into the category of "personal property."

The I-134 form has a section that reads as follows:

"I have other personal property, the reasonable value of which is:"

So what kinds of things does this include?

Cars? Boats? Coin Collections? Clothing? Etc...

And what amount you list, how do you validate the value? Can you just list the amount off or do you need to justify the number through printed records?

You can use a vehicle only if it is not your primary vehicle...i believe you can use coin collections but you would have to have an appraisal. You can use almost anything for personal property but if it doesnt have much value i wouldnt even use it. Using anything with value less than $1000 is pointless and probably wont help much.

aws@ndd,

Thanks for your reply.

So is it safe to say that you could use almost anything you personally own, as long as it has some "value?" Interesting point about the car. I would assume that you could use a vehicle, even if you owned one and used it daily.

If your income alone meets the requirement, no need to list any assets at all. That section of the I-134 can be left blank.

The reason why you cannot use your personal vehicle is because it would create a hardship on you. If you give up your car, your mode of transportation, it creates a hardship, and the affidavit of support forms won't allow it. Now if you have a 2nd vehicle, you can use that.
