I-134 for the K-1

[joe_robin66 6]

I've read differing things on the forums here and I'm not sure which way to go. For my I-134, the only assests I have are my annual income which is over the 125% needed and my savings account. Do I need to get a letter from my bank for my checking account or can I print out the first page of statements from the last year? My savings account is with Ing Direct so its online only, I can call and get something but if I can just print out statements that would be easier I think. Or do I need any of this since my paystubs and tax returns will show my annual salary that is aboue the 125% needed?

Thanks in advance

Robin

I got a letter from my bank, which wasn't so much a letter but just a printout of a summary of my account. It just shows how long the account has been open, balance, and some other cursory information. I think they ask for a letter from the bank for the same reason that they ask for a letter from your employer, not just a paystub. It shows longevity and roots.

I provided my most recent 6 months of bank statements.

Also provided the letter of employment (I've been with the same employer for 15 years), most recent 6 months of may stubs and copies of all pages of past 2 years tax returns and w2's.

No problems for us.

Lots of people don't bother. If your income meets the 125% level, then I don't see why it would be necessary.

With that said, we got one, just because we know the bank manager and it was rather convenient for us to do so. If it would have been a hassle, I don't think I would have done it.

Thanks everyone!

we used W2 and tax returns and 6 recent pay stubs (leading up to the interview date) that was all we used.

All I had was the last few years W2's and about the previous 5 pay statements and there was no issue.

I believe we had the W2's, paystubs, letter from the employer stating annual income and years worked (overkill) and the letter from the bank stating accounts, current balances and dates
