I-134 supporting documents

[shee.laugh 0]

Hi Vjers,

I am sorting out all the docs for my K1 interview nearly 3weeks from now. And I actually just got my document package from my fiance, and found that he instead of "a letter from the bank stating when the account opened and remaining balance" he SENT "a bank statement with all the records of his deposits and withdrawals"...will this be a problem during my interview?

PLEASE HELP ANYONE?

btw what does the US Embassy require? is it "a letter from the bank means BANK CERTIFICATE" OR "bank statement with all transactions" ? I AM SO CONFUSED.

Bank statements should be fine. I am sending last 6 months of statements. As well you need 2011 tax return (incl W2's) and letter from employer.

I forgot to mention, pay stubs are good too, to show current income of year 2012. Pay stubs and bank statements can be sent via fax or email. Bank statements and pay stubs are good because the pay stub amount can be matched with the bank account deposit. There are general instructions on USCIS, or the i-134 form instructions. But also, the specific consulate generally gives further guidance as to what they are expecting. You may want check embassy website if they give further guidance here (or wait package from embassy)...or post in regional forum.

I do not know exactly what your consulate likes to see, as each one can be different. However, for the I-134 you typically need 2011 tax transcript, letter from employer and recent pay stubs. Bank statement would not be needed unless he was using assets to make up a shortcoming in his income and needed to prove how much money he had in the bank.

The other reason he might show the bank statement for deposits is if he is self-employed or had some other non-taxable income he wanted to prove and wanted to show how much he gets a month, though one month worth would not really be enough for that. If self-employed, they only use line 22 of the 1040 to determine if he meets the 125% requirement. If he an employee and receives a W-2, then they tend to use the letter from employer and/or pay stubs to see if you meet the 125% requirement.

We brought 6 months of bank statements and 3 years of tax transcripts. I know that the tax transcipts or W-2s are required. Tax transcripts are prefered. We also brought pay stubs from the most recent to 6 months.

Good luck!
