I-134

[Janulla 1]

Hello,

I received a letter from the bank, notorized, stating the date my account was opened and the current balance on my account. The letter does not state the amount of money I have deposited in the past year. How important is this factor? Is it a must?

Please advice me on this situation.

Thanks

It is very important because it will show them how much you made compared to how much was actualy deposited.

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.

The consulate is concerned with income, (Past (IRS Returns), Present (Pay stubs), and future (Employer Letter)).

If not employed than no employer letter needed.
