Types Of Income Not Covered In I-134

[keithNvaleria 0]

I find it interesting that there is no line for things like pensions, 401Ks, IRA's, annuitys or even Social Security. I will presume that they can be listed under stocks and bonds and detailed if currently using as income. I would be curious if any older posters could share their experience and what format they used to show it on or as a supplement to the I-134. I promise that I will give a full report...after this process is complete.

Social Security, pension benefits, etc. (checks or payments that you receive) would be listed as income for the I-134 and I-864.

and dependant on their taxability, may already be shown as an item on line 22 of the Form 1040

In my case, because my job went away, I just filed for my pension, retroactive to July1 and am elligible for Social Security next May. Because I don't know if using Unemployment Comp as income is allowed; I want to show my pension, 401K, bank balance and home equity as part of my net worth and thus show that even without considering the U/C benefit; I can easily access funds to keep us above 125% until Social Security takes effect. I may get called back or take a new job at some point or I may say to heck with it and concentrate on being a family.

there is. It is income. You can say "I am employed as "retired" (disabled, investments, etc.) and derive an income of.....

The ONLY forms of income NOT incluced are welfare benefits (SSI) and student loans or grants for education purposes. Unemployment is counted BUT may not be accepted as it is not permanent. Any type of documented income is "counted"

The I-134 is basically a "cover letter" for what you attach behind it. It is used for may types of visas and is not necessarily applicable in all respects to the fiancee visa. It isn't even required, it is simply a convenience form, you can just as well write a letter, describe your source of income and attach documentation

yes. And if they are not taxable (child support, military combat pay, workman's comp) they still can be counted if documented.
