I'm reviewing the instructions for form I-134 with regards to supporting evidence. Previously, I thought that a bank statement and copies of paychecks would suffice, but the instructions explicitly state:

A. Statement from an officer of the bank ...

B. Statement of your employer on business stationery...

For those that have submit their I-134 already (aka, had their interview), did you have letters from a bank officer and your employer (as prescribed above), or did you just provide pay stubs and bank account records? This would probably be a good question to ask at the consulate, but I don't want to wait until the interview to get the answer. All insight is appreciated.

If your income is sufficient, you may simply leave blank all asset related questions and skip any bank records or bank letter. An employer letter is good if you can get it. Usually, they are not difficult.

I included a statement from a bank officer, letter from my employer, pay stubs, tax returns and bank records.

No need to specify bank & asset records. Your income meeting the poverty guidelines is most important.

Hi Don,

I got a letter from the bank and a letter from my employer. I only had to wait a day for the bank letter. It wasn't that big of a deal. I just talked to the branch manager, and she did it for me. Same thing for employer.

Employer letter not a problem.

For my bank (really, Credit Union), they want me to come to the office (far away) and also pay $5. From what I have read, it appears that my salary / employment will be good enough, since it is far above poverty level.
