I-134 and New Job

[kitteh 1]

Hey everyone! My fiance and I are waiting to receive an interview date from the embassy right now and I've been trying to compile everything we'll need. I'm concerned about the I-134 though. My fiance and I met while I was studying abroad in Chile, which means that for the 7 months that I was there I had no income. I did work before I left, but I didn't make much. I haven't filed my 2008 tax returns yet, but I know it's going to be tiny. In 2007 I made around $11,000 and in 2006 I think it was around $13,000. However, I was a full time student at UCLA during that time and thus not working very much. I'm now finished with classes and able to work full time.

I'm just starting a great new job this week and I'll be making good money, but by the time we fill out the I-134 I may have less than a month with this employer. I have a couple of thousand in the bank but have been using it to pay bills and such, so it's steadily decreasing.

My question is, do they do any kind of extrapolation (ie based on the fact that I have a perminent position at my new job and WILL be making the necessary income in the coming year) or is it just based on the past tax return and money in the bank? Should I try including tax return infor from years past, or just try to find a co-sponsor for the I-134? I'll probably need one when it comes time for the I-184 so I suppose I could start early.

Thanks for reading

Extrapolation on what you will make this year, this is what employer letter is for.

Great, that's what I was hoping. But will the fact that this is a new job be a detriment?
