Does anyone know how to check the 125% poverty level? I think I'm okay, but I just want to make sure. Thanks so much!!!

So, let me make sure I get this right...I only have to make $22,000 for a family of 3? And that has to show on the last 3 years of my taxes?

And that has to show on the last 3 years of my taxes? It depends on what the consulate asks from you, they may ask for only 1 year of tax returns

Yeah. I'm not sure where in the US you can shelter, feed, and clothe a family of 1, let alone 3, for $22k. But hey, those are the rules.

Yes, More can be found here for your particular consulate: http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/visa/iv/faffidavit.html

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.
