i-134 questions

[CBR 0]

1. How picky is MTL on this form? I have been using the sample form here on VJ as a guide and they show some of the questions left blank. I thought we weren't supposed to leave any blanks. In particular:

Question 1...should I say n/a for abc&d or leave them blank? (i'm a usc).

Question 7...I exceed the 125% poverty guidelines by more than twice so do I need to answer the rest of the blanks. I don't have much in savings, no other property, life ins through work but no cash surrender value and no house. should I just put "none" for those?

for MTL does my fiance need to send this back when he gets packet 3? Or do we take it to the interview?

In the form instructions it says to submit evidence of income and resources. Do I need a statement from my bank if I don't have savings. Do they want my checking account deposits and balance? Or is that more just for if you need to include assets?

Non i-134 question:

What else should I be sending to him to send back with his packet 3 stuff? (I'll be going to the interview with him)

1) Yes if you were born in the USA you can put N/A on those lines.

2) You do not need to provide any asset data if income is well above 125% povertyline.

One thing about I-134, the directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

In our case this what the I-134 included.

• I-134 signed and notarized.

• SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

• Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)

• Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.

• Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.

My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

If your income exceeds 125% or (100% for military) of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.
