Well if it helps anyone, I think I may have found the answer myself: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/I-864_Cover_letter

Hi all,

I have a quick question about our co-sponsor for the I-864. We are, of course, using the same co-sponsor that we used for the I-134. Currently, I have the tax forms from the co-sponsor for the last three years. Do I need anything else from her, like an employment letter or something? I think we had one last time, but I'm not sure what happened to it. Thanks!

Also, where can I double check to see how my income stacks up against that minimum wage again? I remember seeing a form several months ago, but I've long since lost it...

Thanks! So, under no circumstances should I have to prove that I've been earning 125% of the poverty line for the past three years? Only asking to make absolutely sure...

Hello all,

My last questions was so thoroughly answered, I figured I'd come back for one more!

So, for I-134, as far as I was made aware, I need to provide the actual form along with a letter on letterhead from my employer proving employment, statements from the bank and account information, as well as my tax returns. Also, I need to prove that I make a certain amount of money over the poverty line here in the Staes.

However, my fiancé told me today that the tax returns have to show that I have been earning this amount of money for at least THREE years. This is something I cannot provide, and would mean that we need a sponsor for the I-134. Can anyone help us out with this?

Thanks so much!

P.S., I know my timeline is in terrible shape, I'm in the process of fixing it!

Thanks for the quick responses! I'm going to update the timeline tomorrow morning... To be honest, I should have been using this website more!

My only concern now (regarding the Affidavit of Support) is that I've only been working this job for about 6 months, and there isn't much else to show in terms of tax information. I'm a relatively recent college graduate, and I spent some time traveling after school, so I didn't start working for real until about last February. Will a letter from my employer and pay stubs be sufficient, along with a relatively weak-looking tax record? At that, should my pay stubs be originals, or will copies suffice?

Once again, can't thank you guys enough!

Hello all, and sorry if this is a really worn-out topic. Time is running a bit short here, and I figured I'd take to the forums instead of trying aimlessly to figure out this mess of paperwork.

My first question has to do with the Affidavit of Support. I've done a bit of reading online, and it seems that I need to fill out the I-134. I've submitted all the documents for the K1 visa, and I'm still waiting to hear back, but I was informed that my fiancé would have to bring this Affidavit of Support to her eventual interview. However, I also now about the I-864. Just to be sure, for the fiancé visa, am I supposed to be submitting the I-134? I just want to make sure that I'm not sending in the wrong form, here.

At that, I make 22,880 US a year. I saw on this form here (http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864p.pdf) that 125% of my income, for our household size (2), should be totally fine. The form states that one only need make about 19,600 US a year, so I don't think I'll have a problem there. However, this form is in reference to the I-864, and not the I-134. Therefore, my next question is: Am I making enough to sponsor my fiancé by myself?

My Dad is more than willing to help me co-sponsor my fiancé if necessary. That said, must he fill out his own form, to be sent in along with mine? Or must only he fill out a form (be it the I-134 or the I-864)? Is there an additional form that he must fill out, separate from the I-134 and I-864 to co-sponsor my fiancé?

Now, my only question about the NOA2 is when it might actually happen. We've been waiting for just over 5 months now (documents went to the Texas Service Center). Is this normal? I heard about some sort of backlog (totally understand, I work in paperwork myself!), but I'm not sure about what that means for our waiting time...

Once again, sorry if these questions are asked all the time. I trolled around the forums a bit, but couldn't really find anything. If these questions have already been answered, a link to the post or thread will work just as well as a typed response!

Thanks so much!
