Packet 3 Questions

[NCWife 0]

Hi all,

I have just received my Packet 3 in mail yesterday and I have a few questions that I hope some of you could help me to clarify.

In Packet 3, it was included this "Sponsor's Financial Responsibility Under the Social Security Act" I assume that it is redundant to the I-134, am I right? So, do I need to send that piece of paper to my fiance to sign and notarize along with the I-134 or simply just ignore that?

Also, the Form OF-167- I believe the section about Affidavit of Support is the only thing that I should be concern of, right? I read about the APPLICANT'S OWN FUND and EMPLOYMENT section and I guess that both do not apply to me since I have a sponsor and I have not received any job placement in the US. And Form OF-167 does not need any signature, right? It's just a form that states all the evidence I need to provide to prove that I won't become a public charge, right?

Please correct if I am wrong.. Thank you so much Love you all! Hehe.

Cheers!

Yes that is another wording for public charge.

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.

Some consulates want form OF-169 or DS-2001 signed and returned to them as indication that you have gathered the documents needed and are ready for interview.
