I-134 question

[xbitterduskx 0]

Forgive me if this has been asked a million times

I'm working on grabbing the last parts of the affidavit of support evidence. My step dads a co-sponsor. The London embassy website asks for:

-----------------------------------

* notarized copies of his or her latest federal income tax return;

* a statement from his or her employer showing salary and the length and permanency of employment;

* a statement from an officer of a bank regarding his or her account, the date the account was opened and the present balance;

* any other evidence adequate to establish financial ability to carry out his or her undertaking toward the applicant for what might be an indefinite period of time.

----------------------------------

Is the bank letter only for those using the bank assets as part of meeting the requirement? Or is it needed for everyone? He'd rather not disclose any banking info, but will if needed. I'm just curious if not sending it would cause a problem.

For the record...I plan on using (for the both of us) 3 year tax transcripts, copy of 2008 w2s, employment letters, and some pay stubs.

My parents were iffy about bank info too, your dad can write a letter to the bank asking for all of the stuff that instructions askfor, but he can put in BOLD that he doesnt want his account number on the letter that they return to him with the requested information. That way, immigration gets what they want/need, and your dad can be more comfortable, and you can get your approval.

The reason why they ask for bank info is because the whole point of the I-134 is to prove that the fiance will not become a public charge. They need to make sure that if you cant make the money, that someone can give it to the intending immigrant so that they will not become a public charge, thus thats why they ask for the bank info.

Yeah, I told him that he could put it in an envelope and seal it if he wanted. I think he's more concerned with me seeing his balance and stuff, rather than the government. Money is a very private thing to him. But like I said, he's willing to do it, was just wondering if it were completely necessary

i read something somewhere about the co sponsor being able to send this stuff directly to the consulate, without you having to handle it and see it.
