Slight boo-boo on the I-134 Form - Erasures acceptable or should I leave form as is?

[JobienJeck 10]

I just got the documents needed for the interview that was sent by my Fiance today.

I noticed that on the I-134 form he put in his year-to-date (Jan-Oct 2013) income that was noted in the employment letter he requested from his employer instead of the annual income noted in his 2012 income tax return. His year to date income is still over the 125% poverty guideline, is this okay? Should I leave it as is or should I replace it with his 2012 annual income? If the latter, are erasures acceptable or should I have him re-send the form?

Here is an example of the letter I used for my USEM interview:

This is to certify that [insert the petitioner's name] is an employee at [name of company] and is working as a [title of job] since [date of starting employment with the company]. His current gross salary is [amount] per annum.

If you have any questions regarding [name of petitioner] employment, please contact our office at [insert name and phone number to answer questions].

Sincerely,

Don't change anything on the documents unless you are prepared to create a new document that will become the original.

Good luck

Hi thanks for the reply.

My fiance already sent me the employment letter as well but the thing is what's put in there was his hourly rate and his year to date salary (which is what he earned from Jan-Oct only) and not his gross salary per annum. My Fiance may have thought this was his gross salary per annum so that's what he entered on the I-134 form. Is that okay?

do you have his pay stubs? a copy of his last 3 years of tax transcript and especially 2012. The letter seems fine don't change it because it has an original signature on it.

Yeah he sent me his pay stubs from August to October of this year, 2012, 2011 and 2010 ITRs and the employment letter. I guess I'll just leave the form as is as I don't want any suspicions to arise if the form has erasures.

You should be fine, don't modify the form. It is an easily explainable error that probably won't even come up since the amount he put is above 125% level.

Thanks. I guess it's best to leave the form as is.

Sounds like you provided more than what they ask as you went farther back than requested so Don't worry, You are Fine.

My Fiance and 2 kids had Embassy interview yesterday/Today and passed :-) I keep posting this just because I'm so happy and proud of what we have done with no attorney involved. God bless VJ site :-)

Being even his partial income (to date) is adequate and you have his 2012 tax return and W-2, I would leave it as is and if needed explain what happened to the CO during the interview.

Only a copy of the most recent tax return/transcript is required (which is currently 2012), not 3 years of returns.

Don't bother bringing the older tax returns from 2011 and 2010 to the interview the CO will not ask for them and they will NOT take them even if you try to give them to him/her.

Thanks Hank. I'll scrap the old tax returns, my folder is too heavy with documents already. I think I'm all set on Tuesday. Yey.
