I-134 supporting documents

[swji89 41]

Hi everyone,

Quick question. Having just got our NOA 2 (whoop) my fiancee is in the process of sorting the 2-3 bits of evidence to prove her income. She's going hopefully for the employer letter, tax transcript and she's also going to get the letter from the bank with the details of her accounts and deposits over the past year, although that third one is something of an added extra really haha.

As it will be quite a couple of months (or more... probably more!) before I will get to the stage of scheduling an interview (especially with these delays), is it worth her getting these letters now or will the embassy require letters which are dated closer to the interview date?

In other words, if any of you successful applicants have used these types of supporting evidence, how close to your interview were they dated? Did your fiance(e) wait until you had gotten further along in the process to obtain them, sign the I-134 and send it to you?

Any help is much appreciated

Whoop?? That sounds very Texas A&M from somebody with Alabama in their profile.

I-134 ... My comment....

You sound like too much time in the K1 forums. Worrying.

Not difficult in London. Likely will not even be discussed.

Do the I-134 now. TODAY is not too early.

Skip the bank letter. Absolutely a waste of time.

An employer letter alone would get you approved.

I think you have me pegged haha! Thanks, I'll ask my fiancee to get going on it all asap!

I should probably re-phrase: "We finally got our NOA 2 (Roll Tide!)"

Congrats to you! We are in a similar timeline to you, we have been approved but are still waiting on the NOA2 email/text/hard copy. For the affidavit of support, I've been living outside of the country for most of the past five years so I don't have tax returns. But I do have a letter from my employer, pay stubs and I will get a letter from my bank.

Should I submit a letter explaining the lack of tax returns with copies of my visas and my international university information to show I was not in the US? Does anyone have any experience with this at the London embassy?

London does not require a tax return with the I-134, so the employer letter is enough. The pay stubs are backup. Skip the bank letter. I am assuming you have a US job now.

Being out of the country does not automatically excuse you from filing a tax return if you were employed in that foreign country. Check it out and file for those years if needed. You must have a tax return for Adjustment of Status I-864 if you were required to file.
