I-134 Question on supporting documents

[nawal_141 1]

Hello there,

I have 3 questions about the supporting documents for the I-134 form. I just sent out my I-129F packet but i wanted to start preparing myself for the next step.

Now 1st question is that last year I was a dependent on my dads taxes (2013) however I just started working two jobs this year and make around 20,000 dollars a year. I have heard that the embassy may require my latest tax return but can I just write them a letter stating that I was a dependent on the 2013 tax return but will file for 2014 and will be available for the I-184???

2nd question is that both of my jobs I get a direct deposit to my bank account so no paystubs to show (also very long and painful process to get bank statements), will an employer letter only from both jobs work fine ???

3rd question is that I know i am at the borderline with my income so should I also provide information on my assets (extra money in the bank)??

NOTE: one more thing having a cosponser is not an option for me whatsoever, I tried to get one but I have no one able or willing. I'm on my own on this one

thanks in advance for your time!!

An explanation of why you were not required to file taxes will be sufficient. Why do you not have any pay stubs? The employer letter by itself may not be good enough, you may need to provide some solid evidence of your income through pay stubs, or possibly evidence of your direct deposits from your jobs through bank statements. Also, if you are at the 125% of the poverty level, which for a household size of 2 you are, then you are fine and no need to include assets.

Thank you so much but how will an employer letter not be sufficient if it is listed in the instructions for the I-134 ? they only stated employer letters but nothing about paystubs

Because an employer letter can say anything you want it to say. It's taking your employer's word that this is how much you make, instead of looking at tangible proof that you actually make that much. All I'm saying is that the letter by itself may not be good enough, and the CO may ask for more proof of current income.
