Hi All,

I'm wondering how best to complete the I-134. I'm self-employed and I can choose between this year and last year's tax return as I haven't filed this year yet.

Last year I had a higher personal income, but less gross income. This year I have much lower personal income, but 50% higher gross revenues. Which will best suit the I-134 form?

Personal income was lower this year as I did a better job of sheltering my income in business expenses.

Thanks much

Darren

I-134 is a consulate issue... best if asked in consulate forum

YMMV

You need to submit the most recently filed return. As long as that shows income equal or above the 125% figure you are ok. I-134 is just for the K1/K3 process. It "dies" at AOS.

For the AOS you will complete the I-864. Same income requirements. A more binding obligation for the sponsor.

Thanks for the reply. Which of my many "incomes" is the one the evaluate? My company gross? My company net profit? My personal draw from the company? My taxable income? I write off as many of my living expenses as I can, so this becomes important to know. Any advice from the experts?

Thanks!
