I-134 affidavit of support 1 quick question.

[Roy99 0]

Hello,

Does anyone know if putting partially dependent where it says "The following persons are dependent upon me for support: (Place an "x" in the appropriate column to indicatewhether the person named is wholly or partially dependent upon you for support.)" will put me into a 3 person family bracket under the poverty guidlines? I only have my son in the summers and hollidays. Money is not great down in FL and I am making less then I was in CT. Does past tax records help showing you made more before?

You only list dependents that you claim on your IRS returns, by "Partly dependent" do you list them as a dependent on your IRS return? The consulates tend to want IRS returns or transcripts attached to the I-134, the returns will show how many dependents you claim on your taxes.

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.
