I-134: where does it say you need 3 years of tax info?

[Bernie C 24]

It does not state anywhere that a Timeline of Relationship is required either. But at least in Vietnam - if one is not provided - you will fail!

Some consulates have "unwritten" exectations. Some people choose to provide more to try an avoid potential issues.

If all you had to do was meet the written requirements this would be a cake walk - but in some places you must read between the lines and be subjected to an individuals perception and scrutiny of what they think based on opinion and not on fact. Its not just what is written in black and white.

I provided three years worth - maybe it was unnecessary but I know others who provided less and were RFE'd. May have had to do with income levels and providing enough documentation to show "established income history".

Personally - I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I think this may be wrong, Vanessa.

Just because a consulate processes the K1 through their immigrant visa unit does not automatically mean they will require an I-864. London also processes all K1's through their visa immigrant unit but relies on the I134.

I've never heard of a consulate using the I864 for the K1, although there are unsubstantiated urban legends about the practice.

Moving thread from K1 process forum to consular forum - hopefully those who have gone through Paris will see this and have a more specific answer.

thanks for the advice -- so confusing! i am so worried about not having enough proof. i hope that taxes, letter from employer, pay stubs and letter from bank stating savings is enough.

Consulates are forbidden by law to use the I-864 for a K visa. ALL Consulate process K visa cases through their Immigrant Visa Units.

If income is sufficient, you are better off leaving all asset related questions blank as well as omitting the bank letter.

You have stated previously that consulates are forbidden by law. Can you cite that please?

It makes perfect sense NOT to use the I864, but clarification would be brilliant.

Look it up yourself if you have doubts. I'm not your unpaid researcher.

I actually have researched it and have not been able to find anything to support the claim. However, I may have been looking in the wrong places.

Is this the new and improved attitude I've been reading about in site discussion?
