I 134 - Supporting Documents? [edited title]

[pushbrk 12,884]

we exactly do not have 100% faith on our immigration lawyer because of some delay with our initial I-129F processing and other few matters i.e. untimely replies, they only learned our Noa2 got approved cuz we told them, no advice yet re. preparation for packet 3 - but we already collated them anyway because from our research and from VJ...so, it's just good to know fellow VJer's opinion we're still waiting from NVC anyway, so we're going to do it and will still have time to gather all past 12 bank statements...just wondering if it's really necessary...and yes their reply is it's in the I-134 instructions requiring us to provide info on date account opened, total deposits to the account during the year, and the present balance...and yup i admit they're correct it is stated there and lawyers are by the book...

I see. They haven't a clue, or so it seems. If your income is clearly sufficient, nothing at all related to assets needs to be provided. Simply leave the asset questions blank.

Check the regional forum to see if the consulate really needs those bank statements. I seriously doubt it, unless you're self-employed.

The published requirements for the discretionary decisions, like the "public charge" requirement, are often somewhat vague. Attorneys sometimes get into a habit of doing things a certain way because it's what they've always done, and it's always worked for them, but in many cases it may actually be completely unnecessary.

Yup, that's what we think too, thanks!
