Affidavit of support

[b&edz 0]

This might be a dumb question and answers are probably somewhere on this site but I can't find it. So what exactly is needed for the affidavit of support? I've heard rumors of tax returns and bank statements going back 3 years?? Also is there a certain amount of money I should have in the bank? Or a certain amount I need to earn?

Thx

No need for rumors when you can just read what is required in the instructions for your consulate from their website > http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/1178798/feb2015/K1-K2%20Applicant%20Interview%20Preparation%20Instructions%20-%20English%20_February%202015_.pdf

What's customary can vary from one country to another. Best thing would be to read in the Philippines regional forum to learn what documentation is typical there.

Regardless, you need to demonstrate a current and continuing income the meets the I-864P requirements or have sufficient assets to make up any income shortfall. http://www.uscis.gov/i-864p

It varies by embassy as to requirements. Pop over to the Philippines forum for details http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/

Follow the embassy instructions letter for what is required by USEM http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/1178798/feb2015/K1-K2%20Applicant%20Interview%20Preparation%20Instructions%20-%20English%20_February%202015_.pdf
