You need to show you are above poverty level either earnings or assets or a combination of both (try not to confuse them if you can help it!). Using Assets, you have to show at least three years of poverty level. I-134 if I remember correctly is 100%. I'd still be prepared to show at least 125% of poverty level. You have to show that for the AOS and the I-864 eventually. If you can show it on earnings, I wouldn't worry about Assets. Transcripts are fine, would be better if you had three years of tax return data, but if I recall, not required fo the I-134. You'll need it later though...

Thought you could only order a transcript of a return? Maybe I'm missing something...

I just copied all my papers from my records of last years income tax return and believe me it was full of notes made to myself and they accepted it with no problem. Hope this helps
