I-134 Supporting Evidence questions

[Gingerpants 8]

Hello,

My co-sponsor prefers to not give out his social security number unless it is absolutely necessary so I was wondering if it would be okay if he blocked out part of his SSN on the supporting evidence documents needed for the interview.

Also since we have a co-sponsor (because I have been living abroad and cannot qualify) do I still need to provide supporting evidence with my own I-134 form?

The consulate does have discretion on what evidence they will accept with an I-134, but I think it's likely they won't accept his tax return or transcript if the SSN is partially obscured. I'm certain that USCIS wouldn't accept it with an I-864. It's a critical piece of information for identifying the sponsor.

You, the petitioner, are the primary sponsor. You are required to submit an I-134 along with all supporting evidence required by the consulate. The same will be true when you submit an I-864 for adjustment of status.

Okay thanks for your help!
