More questions on I-134

[gil-n-joy 1]

For the Statement from an officer of the bank where the sponsor has deposits, my boyfriend is not comfortable giving out the details of his account.

Since I-134 only requires the information on (1) Date account opened, (2) total amount deposited for past year, and (3) present balance,

can he jsut get a statement from the bank with only those 3 information minus the account numbers and other confidential information?

And because he's got 4 accounts, does he need to get all accounts or just the Savings account?

Thanks again.

Hey, I just got my letter yesterday, and it doesn't have the account number on it. It has the three things you mentioned above, plus the average balance. I have 4 accounts as well, but just got a letter from the one I use the most, the main one that all my money goes through. Hope this helps!

IF INCOME exceeds 125% povertyline the you do not need to provide bank account info. Bank info only needed if you need to use assets to make up a shortfall below the 125% povertyline.

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% 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.
