What exactly to send with the affidavit of support for K1?

[.......... 8]

What exactly does my fiancée need to send me with the AOS (affidavit of support)? My Interview will be at the London US embassy and it's a K1 fiancée visa.

Well, tax transcrit and w2, employer letter , bank letter and last 3 months payment stub.

Almost all consulate ask for that

I had my K1 interview in London in Sept. I took the affadavit of support form (cant remember the number I 134 or similar) and the last 2 years tax transcripts. Thats all I took and it was fine. Best place to look is on the UK subforum on here for stuff specific to London.

+1 nibbie.

London doesn't need to see tax transcripts/w2s, so if you don't have them then no worries (but use them if you like). Minimum should be something like an employment letter stating job and salary and the last few months payslips.

London is one of the more lenient embassies for the I-134 compared to other countries.

Oops. Sorry about "nibbie". Typed from my phone and didn't even notice.

~At this stage of process, instructions/requirements are often embassy-specific~

Thanks for your replys

Do you both think pay stubs and tax returns will be enough for London? Also shall I take my bank statement with me to show what I have also?

The tax returns (with the W2s) alone are probably enough. If you were doing the I-864 (the stricter form you'll do at AOS) you'd *only* use tax returns/W2s or tax transcripts. If you've got a bank statement to hand, take it, but I doubt they'll want it.

If you've got all this stuff anywya, take it with, worst case they just give it all back to you.

She gets paid via direct deposit so won't be able to give them pay stubs. Any suggestion in what to replace them with?

Most people are paid by direct deposit. They still get pay stubs (statements). A pay stub isn't a cheque, if that's what it sounded like I meant. It's a statement saying how much the employee earned in that period, what tax was paid, sick days, etc. usually designed, printed and distributed by the HR department (or, these days, some folks just get them digitally through some internal HR system).

Best bet - get employer to write a letter stating job position and annual salary if no pay stubs are made.

London loves employer letters for the I-134. Skip the bank statement. One tax return will also do it for London. Take two things at most. Pick whatever is easiest to get. It's pretty easy...just show them the income any way you can. There is no *required* item for an I-134 London.

I just found out that with the I-134 the USC only needs to cover 100% of the poverty guideline not 125% as I first thought.

Is that correct??

There's actually no mandated amount for the I-134. Most embassies follow the poverty guidelines set for the I-864, since applicants have to meet that next anyway. London will usually take 100% value (and we've seen varying numbers when assets are used, too).

That what the FAQ says on the Dept of State website and visas are issued by the DOS. The question says something like "are the income requirements the same for an I 864 and an I-134? don't have time to find the link now.
