I-134 Submitted at Montreal Interview. Update or Use one from Petition?

[dukeandduchess 141]

My fiance prepared the I-134's in July and brought them up in August. My interview wasn't until October 7th and we never had a problem. I don't even think they looked at them. But if you're worried just bring some more recent paystubs.

Thanks, that does make me feel better although mine would be in November

Also, Coconuts, the letter from her employer was written back on May 10th (we didn't think about getting a new one until now). It's just one of things that's bothering me now, I wish we had gotten an updated letter from her HR with a more recent date. At the time of the interview, the letter would still be under 6 months old, so I think that should still be good!

Also, the reason I brought up bank statements is because she only has two years worth of Tax returns (W2s) as she's only been working since 2009 (so she has for 09 and 2010). I've been doing all this reading on VJ, and I've seen it somewhere that you should have a minimum of 3 years worth of tax returns.

Relax! If your fiancee has only been working for 2 years then she would only have 2 years worth of Tax returns. You can bring a bank statement but they already ask on the I-134 how much money she has saved up (found in question #7). If you're asking about your savings don't even bother because they won't look at it (or at least they don't in vancouver).

If you're worried, just bring updated paystubs and request a new letter from her employer that states somewhere that "no changes to xxxxx's employment or wages in the foreseeable future".

My letter from the employer was dated in January and again, my interview was in May. It wasn't an issue. I just made sure the pay stubs reflected that nothing had changed in those few months.

Thanks again for the encouragement! And yeah, you're right...I'm not going to show them my savings as it's not mentioned anywhere and as you said they won't look at it most likely! I got the updated paystubs, getting another letter won't be an option as we don't have time now! But as coconuts mentioned, her Fiancee letter was also 5 months old, beseides they can always call and verify if they are so concerned! Thanks again

Thanks Coconts for all your help and advice! I'll just make sure that her recent pay stubs are showing the same amount as the previous ones. Another thing I jsut thought about was to print her online bank statement, which shows the direct deposit into her checking account. This amount matches dollar to dollar with the amount written on her pay stubs!

Gosh, I need to chill out, I feel like I'm loosing my mind over these little little things

Thanks again for you patience and support.

Where do you guys find that information. that we need to bring an employer letter? I'm confused... because the list on what to bring doesn't say that.

[dukeandduchess 141]

4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

I also linked this in my pm to you

The instructions for the affidavit of support, which can be found on the USCIS website, lists the kinds of evidence that should accompany it. Make sure to read the instructions that go along with the forms

I have his pay stub one that he sent me by email and his most recent one that he brought when he came last week. I also have 2009 and 2010 W2. That's all.

[pocheros 101]

W2s alone are not enough- you need the whole return in addition to the W2, or a tax transcript from the IRS.

It says this blue earnings summary section is included with

Your W-2

On the top it says 2010 W-2 and Earnings Summary.

It's not it? :-/
