He shows his income tax returns which could show a lot of income earned from interest, stock dividends, and capital gains. That counts. If he gets a retirement pension, then he gets a letter from them stating how much he receives. That's just like a letter from employer. He shows information from a bank or broker if he has savings or and IRA account. He shows anything that proves he has income or assets.

The affidavit is form I-134 which is signed in front of a notary.

leafil - What documentation do people mess up on the most?

Consulate

The Affidavit of Support. For K-1 and K-3 visa applicants, the Petitioner must submit Form I-134. For all other immigrant visa applicants, the Petitioner must submit Form I-864. Please make sure that the Petitioner signs the form. It does NOT need to be notarized. If a Petitioner does not make enough income and do not make more than the Federal Poverty Guidelines, they will need a joint financial sponsor. Please make sure that the financial sponsor signs Form I-864A. The form does NOT need to be notarized. Both the Petitioners and the joint sponsors should submit 1) letter of employment; 2) most recent tax forms; 3) W-2 tax forms and 4) proof of assets (bank accounts).
