Affidavit of support

[skeez&titanic 0]

I always seem to ask this question because I am seriously confused. On the Affidavit of support form to show income you need a bank statement an employment letter. Okay if I was self employed I need tax returns. I am not self-employed. Last year in 2007 i filed my taxes I didnt have a job went through a divorce and my ex-husband didnt pay me much. As of August 2008 I got a job working in a local school. I got my employment letter already for that. I received child support from my ex husband since nov 2007. So my questions is I can not give my tax returns because I didnt make enough money. But I will this year because I just started a second job about 2 weeks ago. I am getting an employment letter for that as well. So with my child support document showing how much money I get and my two employements letters I will be over the poverty limit. So does it matter if I dont give them tax returns. I have all the other support evidence I need to show my income is that correct because my fiancee just got his packet 3 and I need to send this to him asap. For some reason I dont know why this is stressing me out but it is. My mother is giving me a hard time about co-sponsoring me so I am seeing how I can do this without her help. I am a mother of 3 and my finacee that make me 5 people and I will make over the 31,000. I make about 35,000. Hope this is good enough to send out. I appreciate any advice.

Bank statement is for ASSETTS.

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.

• 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/faq/0,,id=199557,00.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.

let me see if I can simplify the question. I do not have currently three years of tax returns. 2006 was a stay at home mom. 2007 my ex husband i lived off my child support and alimony due to getting a divorce that year. 2008 i didnt not start working until august and have not filed my tax returns yet. Currently I know I make over the poverty limit but my only proof is a letter from my current employer proof of child support and most recent pay stubs. Is there any issues you think I will be going through.

File your 2008 return before the interview, and attach a copy of the return to the I-134. London is NOT as critical as other consulates about past year's returns.
