Hi all,

My father is our co-sponsor, and I'm helping him fill out his I-134. My understanding is that if his income is sufficient in meeting the level required (which it is, more than enough), it's not necessary for him to fill out the itemized section of question 7, listing all of his assets and savings. However, I'm not finding this specific info on any government site or official instructions, only in the forums here, and my dad is adamant about following official instructions while completing the form. Can anyone provide any guidance/links/advice here? We're dealing with the London embassy. Thanks so much.

I-134 Instructions, page 1, right hand column under heading General Instructions:

Supporting Evidence

As the sponsor, you must show you have sufficient income or financial resources to assure that the alien you are sponsoring will not become a public charge while in the United States.

If he demonstrates sufficient income he has supplied what is needed.

The I-134 instructions are a bit thin. Look at the I-864 instructions (you will use this form at the Adjustment of Status phase after marriage in the US) and/or this I-864 FAQ from the State Dept. website > http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3183.html for more information.

Thanks so much for this reply. Do you think it's bad to leave the itemized blanks empty if the income listed above is more than enough? I know they can be picky about the use of none v. N/A, so I don't want to screw anything up by leaving anything blank.

I had enough income to meet the affidavit requirements, and I left all the asset fields blank on the I134, and also later during AOS, blank on the I864.As you can see from my timeline, both were approved.
