I-134 Affidavit of Support

[MnM 0]

Guys I need help I’m so very confused about the I-134 Affidavit of Support.

What the minimum amount you have to make in order to be qualified?

I read a somewhere on VJ that it is not required?

What is poverty guideline?

What all is required with I-134?

Please help I’m stressed out now about this!!!!!

Technically the income needs to exceed only 100% povertyline for I-134, but many consulates hold the petitioner sponsor to 125%

Povertyline guide can be found here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

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).
