I-134 help

[limejello 0]

Couple of questions:

1. I am the petitioner, currently residing in Mexico (but under a tourist visa). On the I-134 #1 ("residing at" part), do I put my address in the U.S. or my address in Mexico?

2. On question #7 "employed as or engaged in the business of", I'm unemployed, so do I put "none"?

3. As far as evidence is concerned (since I hardly made any money in the last 2 years), I know I need to attach a letter, but do I also need to attach any "evidence" that I didn't make enough money to file tax returns? I was working in Mexico and they don't do W-2's so I really don't know exactly how much I made (but I do know it wasn't enough).

Do you have a permanent US address? If so, use that one.

2. On question #7 "employed as or engaged in the business of", I'm unemployed, so do I put "none"?

What did you use to do? (engaged in the buisiness of..., but if your not working, N/A could be used)

3. As far as evidence is concerned (since I hardly made any money in the last 2 years), I know I need to attach a letter, but do I also need to attach any "evidence" that I didn't make enough money to file tax returns?

Hmm - this is a tough one, If you made more than $400.00 (self-employed) or made any taxable income, you are still required to report the income, from what I understand of the tax code.

That would be your evidence.

I would recommend talking to a lawyer about that. (or even call the IRS helpline)

Plus, since you said you make less than the requirements for sponsorship, you will have to use assets or get a co-sponsor. (which means you wont have to show income, your sponsor would)

I made less than the $8,950 minimum requirement for filing taxes, and I was not self-employed. I do have a co-sponsor lined up, I just don't know if anything more than an explanation letter (for why I didn't file a return) is necessary.
