i-134 affidavit of support question

[Adrian+Mike 2]

Hello again!

As we're approching the final stage we're going through the last bits including whats expected at the interview. As my finance works two jobs she has sent me 6x paystubs from one employer, 4x paystubs from the other. We have letters from both employers stating what her salary is. We would include the W2 from 2009 however as she was in diffrent employment during the majority of 2009 which did not cover the poverty guidelines we have not included this. She is of course earning well beyond the guideline needed now, which is what the paystubs and letters show.. will this be enough evidence? Should we include the w2 regardless as this will contradict what she is currently earning?

I think many people's tax transcripts from previous years are not the same as what they are currently earning. I included the 3 prior years of tax transcripts, several paystubs (and I emailed the last one right before his interview), to show current weekly/YTD pay. Also the letter from my employer also stating what I earn each week. Send everything, especially since you have already listed previous job history already. The current stuff shows what you are currently earning.

Basically we need to know if we need a co signer... I make enough now but according to my 2009 tax return I make under the 125%...I have two jobs one I've been at for two years the other for 6 months

London will accept your argument about "current income" Use employer letters and pay stubs to show this. The employer letters should include a start date, so that will help explain any discrepancies.

You will want to have your TAX TRANSCRIPT for the most recent tax year as well, as they are used to seeing that there. If you order your 2008 one from the IRS (it's free) there is no scramble to collect W-2s and such.

If your interview is during or after April, then they will want to see the 2009 tax return, so just make sure you keep it all together in a folder when you file.

Awesome, thanks for that!
