Form I-134 ; Salary above 100% of poverty guideline

[Mrs. Cristiano 42]

Hi guys,

 

Is that true that if the petitioner's/sponsor's salary more than 100% of the poverty guideline, then in the form I-134 the petitioner only needs to fill out the income part and NO NEED to fill out any other parts below that (balance of savings, other personal property, stocks, real estate) ?

 

Please give me your opinion or maybe tell me about your experience.

 

Thanks in advance.

If it is on the form and looks to be something that requires and answer it's always best to answer it even though you think it need not be completed because of such and such. Having a salary over the poverty level will make your journey a whole lot easier but only if the documents are in order.

You do not need to fill out the assets parts if your income is acceptable

 

How much more is the petitioner above the 100% poverty line?  Barely may not cut it.

Assets are optional if income is sufficient. Sufficient is a judgemental call by the CO.

Many embassies use the 125% from the I-864P Poverty Guidelines, not sure with Indonesia.    If there is an Indonesia sub-forum you should check there

You don't need to fill out the other parts if the salary is sufficient. Just a FYI: the embassy in Jakarta seems to have become more "picky" about this, and will require you to provide tax transcripts proving income (vs. just a copy of the 1040). You should also bring recent pay stubs. And as others have noted, they might expect your fiance to be earning 125% or more of the poverty guideline.

Thank you for sharing me your experience.. I have another questions if you don't mind

1. Do I have to bring the filled and signed I-134 form to my interview ? (I will also bring W2 (3 past years) , IRS tax transcripts (3 past years), and pay stubs)

2. How many recent pay stubs considered as sufficient ?

 

Regards.

1. Yes, you'll have to bring a filled out and signed I-134. 

 

2. I think my fiancee brought just the last two pay stubs I had along with a couple of my previous W2s and tax transcripts. Since I had been in the same position for the last couple years, I figured that was enough (and it was). Had I changed jobs, I probably would have given her more pay stubs to bring.
