I134 Affidavit of Support Validity

[Back2real 4]

How old can the original signed Affidavit of Support (I-134) be? I sent mine in with the I129-Fpetition March 16,2011. The Kingston Consulate might actually have a copy of it with the petition they received from NVC. Will I need an updated one for him to bring for his interview or will this one suffice? He does already have another copy of that one he can bring with him or do I need to make an updated on from August 2011 to give to him for the interview? How old can they be or will it be best for me to make him an updated version with updated work etter, bank letter and paystubs, etc? Anyone ever use an 7-9 month old one or have experience with this?

Thanks,

Erica

No need to list back acount balances or assets if your income is sufficient!

Piggy back question regarding I-134. If you are not going to send bank statements or if your income is sufficient do you still list your bank balance on the I-134 or just leave that off?

I could be wrong but I do believe Bank Statements are a Reqirement. Just because one makes sufficiant income via pay stubs/an or employment letter, does not mean you do not spend it all on debt or anything in general. But like I said I could be wrong, but better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. More is always better in this case.

But this is what the Kingston Consulate emailed me regarding it in Packet 3....

The documents that you will need to send for your fiancé to submit at the visa interview are as follows:

• An original signed Affidavit of Support (I-134)

• Copies of your 2010 Federal income tax return and W-2 form, and

• A current employment letter and/or pay stubs

Doesn't mention Bank statements here but I read it somewhere so best believe I am bringing them and all 401K, IRA statements as well as all Life insurance policies, benefits statements, 6 Paystubs and 3 years W2s and tax returns just to be on the safe side. I'm not trying to get a slip to come back with more dox.

I would most def also list everything the I134 asks for you never want to leave any form blank. N/A or none if you do not have it, but do not leave it blank or they might look at that as 0 or incomplete.

Insufficient Affidavit of Support (I-134) can be a big reason for denial. Not that you don't have it, but that you don't prrof it how they are asking you to in all the different ways. Just my 2 cents coming from a Finance Industry background.
