Advice regarding I-134 Affidavit of Support

[Sharon Austin 0]

I'm getting ready to send my girl all the documents she needs for her interview this week through DHL because of the time it takes for her to receive it (14 days), because of her location.

I recently called the Immigration Unit in Manila concerning the affidavit of support the lady that answered my call explained to me that the USE in Manila does not accept co-sponsors on the K-1 visa but accepts on the K-3 visa. I didn't file my 2004 and 2005 tax returns but I did file my 2006, the reason why I didn't file my 2004 and 2005 because I was still being claimed by my father as a full-time college student. The lady at the embassy informed me that I could go ahead and submit a co-sponsor but its at the discretion of the CO thats doing the interview. Then she also stated that I only needed my most recent tax return which is my 2006 1040EZ. In 2006, I met the criteria exceeding the 125% povert level, and my brother, which is a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy, makes over 75k a year.

Here is a list of everything that I have gathered so far for the I-134:

1. My I-134 Affidavit of Support (Notarized)

2. My brother I-134 Affidavit of Support (Notarized)

3. A signed employment letter with company letterhead from my director

4. My six earning statements for this year

5. My Bank statements starting back from 2005

Is this sufficient enough?

Did you just say you earn over 125% of the poverty level?

Your current income meets the 125% of poverty level and you provided evidence accordingly. What does your brother have to do with it? They already told you they won't accept a co-sponsor for a K1 visa.

Attach a copy of your W-2 along with your tax return. It's always good to go to the embassy's web site because different embassy's have different requirements. I see the Manila Embassy does ask for a copy of your W-2 along with a copy of you tax return. Here's a link to the K-1 package instructions from the Manila Embassy's web site. See the instructions of page 2 under evidence of support.

Hi,

When I had my interview in the US Embassy in Manila, I only had with me the most recent income tax (2005) of my fiance. The embassy there knows already your financial status here in the US because before your fiancee received the packet from the Embassy, you had to fill up a form here in the US stating your financial resources. But to make sure, all those things you had written above, please send it to her because she might need it during the interview. There is no harm in being ready and prepared.

Your current income meets the 125% of poverty level and you provided evidence accordingly. What does your brother have to do with it? They already told you they won't accept a co-sponsor for a K1 visa.
