Affidavit of Support

[Antonia & Dian 30]

Hello, does anyone have any experience with the requirements for the affidavit of Support form I-134... particularly the supporting documentation, has anyone not included the bank letter? I have my employment letter, 3 years of tax returns and my recent W-2, would that be enough or do I need to include the bank letter as well? It's a little more complicated for me to obtain that letter so I wanted to check with anyone who's gone through this process if they have not included the bank letter and if it hasn't been a problem. 

 

Thanks in advance!

If your income is over 125% of the poverty guideline, it's fine if you don't include it. I'm saying 125% because when it gets to the I-864 for AOS, they are looking for a minimum of 125% and not 100%. So best be prepared in advance

I have the same concern, my fiance makes over 125% requirement but he only has about $2,000 in a bank account. Does the C.O still consider $2,000 is a small amount of money?...

Great thank you! My income is above the 125%

You really shouldn't worry about it. Your employment letter stating how much you make a year should suffice (if it is 125% over the poverty guideline for your state, that is), along with the rest of the documentation you've prepared. We never included a bank letter since it wouldn't really be in our interest to do so and were fine. I'm afraid my answer is a bit too late, just wanted to give you a heads up, in case others have the same question.

Thank you for the info! I sent all my paperwork to my fiancé so he is ready for the interview, whenever that time comes  we're still waiting for NOA 2. 

I noticed either you or your fiancé is from Bulgaria? I would love to find out how the interview went and what all they requested for the interview, if you have time  I would really appreciate it! I've been looking for any info but no one recent has gone through the interview in Sofia.
