I-134 Process: When does the Embassy verify all the financial information sent?

[VisaParaUnSueno 9]

Hello Fellow VJ's,

My brother or his wife will be my co-sponsor's and we were curious and wanted to know... When does the embassy actually verify all the financial statements we send?

Do they review and investigate this information on the same day of the interview while the Fiance is in the waiting room? Or just look at it and that is it?

My brother and his wife wanted to know how they go about making the decision once they sign and send all the documents.

I always hear people say they ask for the documentation and look at it but nothing further...

If someone doesn't mind elaborating on this process, I would appreciate it?

Thank you all!

It is evaluated at the interview.

Documentation? Something that proves the sponsors income... A tax return, letter from employer, pay stubs, pension statement if retired. financial documents showing a whole bunch of money in savings...anything that will show you make what you say on the form.

There are no specific requirements for the I-134, but a good guideline is being above the US poverty guidelines found here http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

P.S. That is a London answer. Other consulates may be stricter. London will take any proof. A tax return is not required.

You take the financial documents to the interview with you. The CO looks over all your paperwork then. If something is wrong, they let you know about it at the interview. If nothing is wrong, you will be approved.
