Hello my friends!!!! Received approved NOA2 and working on I-134. Here's my questions...On the Oath or Affirmation of sponsor, of coarse I'm the sponsor....who fills out the rest? Any Notary? Do I need to go to my Bank with my Mortgage Statement, Life Insurance Policy, and proof of other property for them to complete this? Very confusing.....any help would be appreciated, thanks, Glenn

The notary is only witnessing your signature.

If your income is sufficient, you may simply SKIP all asset relation portions of the form. If not, then fill out those that are applicable and include supporting documentation.

Notary fills out the section below the signature.

You only need to list assets (Bank letter, mortgage info, life insurance, etc..) if your income is below 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.

You may want to read the P3 document issued by Manila, they tell you exactly what they prefer with the I-134.

k. EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT. You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge or be a burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. Submit your petitioner’s most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner’s ability to be financially responsible for you.
