[italiano19 0]

Good evening everyone,

I have a question regarding the I-134 and was not able to find it elsewhere on this site, or Google...but is there as minimum needed in the savings/checkings account? Or anyone have experience with this I'm sure not everyone has 5K or more in their accounts but who knows.

Thank you for your assistance

No requirement to even have a bank account. Your question indicatess you have failed to carefully read the I-134 instructions. Doing so will be critical to your eventual success. This goes for the Guides here and all form instructions. If you rely on only asking questions, you'll miss things you never knew you needed to know.

The I-134 requirements take into account more than just your current checking account balance. You must also submit your tax return information, pay stubs and letter from employer...to verify that you have income coming in on a regular basis. There is no minimum needed, unless you're planning on using your checking/savings to satisfy the financial requirements for sponsorship.

I agree. Your bank/checking statements simply verifies your incoming income. Direct Deposit is a good idea for additional, automatic documentation on the statement--same amount seen deposited every month.

Wow thank you all for the quick response and I kind of figured that was the case but just covering all basics. I knew A-D on the I-134 is pointing out any of the 4 would satisfy as long as it equal to or over 125% over poverty guidelines.

Thanks again

Not exactly.

If your income is more than 125% of the poverty guideline, that is fine. If you are using assets or money in the bank, it must be 3 times the need amount.

Example...Poverty guideline is $18,000 but you make $15,000. You are $3000 short. You need $9000 in the bank or other assets to make up the shortfall. If your income is sufficient, you do not need any money in the bank and do not need to list assets or have a bank letter.
