A couple of I-134 Questions

[scjones 0]

Hi guys,

I'm going to fill out form I-134 and I had a couple of questions associated with it.

1) "I have stocks and bonds with the following market value, as indicated on the attached list, which I certify to be true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief"

Does this mean I have to send some sort of hard copy along with the form that proves the value of stocks I have?

2) "I have on deposit in savings banks in the United States"

I assume that the money I have in my checking account is applicable here, is this correct?

Thanks for any help I just want to make sure I get everything right, this process is pretty nerve racking and I really don't want to mess anything up.

In general, if the USC meets the 125% of the poverty threshold then they will only submit some pay stubs to document current income and one to three years of tax returns or tax transcripts.

You only need to document stocks and bonds and bank account balances if you are qualifying based on assets or a combination of assets and income. Qualifying on assets alone can be difficult.

Good luck.

One question, why would qualifying on assets alone be difficult? I am using my assets with a small income due to divorce. I was told here personally that I could qualify on my personal assets alone and never even bother with the small income i was going to add. I thought that all they were looking for is that you have an income which would meet poverty level, etc. Is this wrong information that I have been given?
