In the instructions for the I-134 form there is a statement indicating the need to present a letter from my employer (i am the petitioner) with salary info, position, etc. Is this necessary if I have my W-2's and tax forms? The income level is not a problem for me so I don't want to send any more info than necessary. Does anyone have experience with this regarding what is actually required for the interview at the embassy? Thank you

When my wife and I were going through the K-1 process, and I myself felt uncomfortable handing over certain information, she said this to me, "Are you OK with the delay if they demand to see it and I don't have it to show?". You can skip including it, but if they want to see it you're going to have to give it to them and that slows down the process. Its all up to the person doing the interview or petition if they want to see it or not. Their word is final and their requests can't be ignored, unless you want to accept a denial. You might get by with not including it, but do you want to wait an extra couple of months over the employment letter if they do want to see it?

If you can get the employment letter, that would be much better in case they want to see it. My husband asked his employer for that letter and it was a simple letter in the company letterhead informing his name, since when he was working for that company, his position, annual salary and an employer phone number of contact. That's all.

it's up to you to send it, but keep in mind that they may request it and then you will have to send it anyways and that delay will slow things down a couple of weeks or more.

Embassy letter itself uses the words "may be included" so the Manila embassy does not exactly require it, not to say they won't ask for it (maybe have your finacee keep the letter in her folder - then if the CO actually asks for it you are ready and if they don't she can keep it): http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/19452/public/Revised%20K1%20Instruction%20Packet%20_3__rtf2_005.pdf

Hank is absolutely right "might be included". If you have enough income based on W-2's, ITR's and pay stubs, and bank statements, the CO will not ask for it. My fiancee was approved that way. Good luck!
