Form I-134 enough proof of income?

[stanleysthomas 0]

 

I work for apple. Last year (2017) i started with them from May till present. However i started part-time and didnt become fulltime until 4 months after starting. I have been fulltime since September of 2017. My tax return for 2017 is not at the poverty requirement of $16,000 for this reason. But for this year of 2018 i am making more than double that amount. I only have bank statements that show my chackings and savings and i have pay stubs from Apple showing what i have been making every paycheck. The only thing is that my 2017 w2 form and tax return form shows my income being under $16,000 which isnt accurate to what i have been making this whole year of 2018. Do you think I will be fine in submitting the I134 form of support for my fiance who is in brazil? her interview is at the end of this month for the k1 visa.

Your current income is what you currently make in a 12 month period. What you put on your taxes is what you made last year, not what you make now. The pay stubs + an employment letter are the best evidence of your current income.

I was also reading the instructions on their website and they asked only for the tax return forms if you are self employed which i am not. I just wanted to make sure that the low income amount on last years tax form wouldnt be a problem if my pay stubs and bank statements can show i am making more. Thank you so much!

They may or may not want to see the most recent year's tax return as well for the I-134. That varies by consulate.

 

As a note, for the I-864 later, a copy of the most recent year's tax return is mandatory.

 

Income for self-employed individuals would be derived from their tax returns.

Submit your tax returns ,your current pay stubs from last 2-3 months and employment letter from your employer stating  at what position your are working,if its full time ,part time or contract and your annual income. Its okay if you made less last year ,all it matters is how much you will be making this year.

Do this!

I was in the exact same situation. I submitted all my paystubs and an employee verification letter. Had no problems at all.
