Problems with Documents for I-134

[Tindsay 3]

Hi all,

So having returned from the States bringing with me the financial documents required for the interview I find myself with two unpleasant surprises on unpacking. The first, something leaked in my bag causing slight water damage to top corner of the financial documents ... after a night drying they are all still legible, most are just a little crinkly and a few have a small amount of red ink that ran off the padded envelope they were contained in ... any thoughts on whether this will be a problem? As I said to me (and my dad who I had check) they all look legible and like they have all had water spilled on the top corner so I'm hoping this isn't cause to replace them all.

The second thing I noticed on laying out all the documents to be dried is that my co-sponsor (future FIL) had provided tax account transcripts rather than tax return transcripts ... comparing these to the tax return transcripts from my fiancée the difference seems to be the quantity of information they contain, the account transcript really is an overview whereas the return transcript breaks everything down. Will this be a problem or will the tax account transcript suffice?

Thanks

Tom

If they're legible, they sound fine. Stuff happens. Explain it.

This link explains return vs account transcripts http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=232219,00.html

It appears that both contain the Adjusted Gross Income, which is the number they will be looking at.

Make a timeline so we have an easy way to see what visa you are seeking.

Thanks for the reply Nich-Nick ... I hoped they would be ok still but it's always reassuring to have a second opinion.

As for the timeline I've made one and have been updating it ... the link from my post to it works for me but if it doesn't for you then let me know. Either way it's for a K1 visa, as of yesterday we were told the case had left for the embassy in London.

Thanks again,

Tom

Sorry--I meant the "Filed for" thing above your timeline link. I always glance at that to kinda quickly know who I'm answering because answers sometime depend on visa. You had good clues to go off of, so no big deal(I-134, future FIL) Cheers!

Ah right, I've updated it now. I think I overlooked it before because the question on the profile is a little miss-leading ... to me selecting "K1 Visa" for "Immigration Status" implies that I already have it rather than it's what I've applied for. Anyway appears correctly on my profile so all is good.
