Letter from employer and life insurance

[NYC-KK 0]

Thank you all for your helpful advice about completing the I-134. A couple of more questions.

1. Should I ask my boss to sign more than one copy of the letter stating my position and income. Does each copy need an original signature or are photocopies OK?

2. It seems that question 7 on I-134 about life insurance might even be relevant even to those of us with sufficient income, since it is hard to continue to earn money once one is dead! My employeer offers a generous death benefit equal to three years' salary. Should I add a supplement to my I-134 to answer question 7 regarding life insurance? Should I get a letter from my employer to prove my death benefit?

I look forward to your responses.

1. I had my boss sign 2 copies, but only ended up needing one.

2. Unless it's a whole life policy with cash redemption value, it really doesn't fit on the I-134 as it's not a liquid asset. I wouldn't worry about including it.

Thanks, so I assume I send the original signed letter with the I-134 to my fiancee and save a copy. I'll take your advice and leave the death benefit out, since it does not have a cash surrender value.
