134 concern

[denny&gerlie 0]

I'm preparing all the documents needed for my interview on Monday and upon checking my fiance's I-134 I noticed that his declared income there is more than the actual annual he has on his 1040. Do you think this will brought a red flag?

Do you have his recent pay stubs and employee letter to show for this income? My 1040 income from last year was also less, then what I declared, but i had everything to prov that my current income is higher.

Yes. I have his W2's for the last three years, his recent pay stubs, bank statement and certificate of employment. Even I have those I am getting worried that his annual declaration might brought a red flag or the consult might ask me if why it's different and I dont know what to answer him/her.

Does his letter of employment indicate his current salary, and does that match the number he wrote on the I-134? If you take the gross wages from his pay stubs and multiply that by the number of paychecks he gets in a year does that match the number he wrote on the I-134? If so then you should be ok. The number a sponsor writes on an affidavit of support is supposed to be their current annual income. Most people's income changes a little from year to year.

On the other hand, if the number he wrote on the I-134 is higher than the total income from his tax returns, his employment letter, and his pay stubs, then the consulate may ask why the number is different and ask for proof that his current income equals or exceeds the number he wrote on the affidavit, especially if the documents he submitted would seem to indicate his income is below the minimum required threshold.

It's very Simple... Ask your fiance how he got this numbers... I'm sure he knows why he did that. So, if the consul asks you.. you'll know what to answer and bring in evidences explaining the difference.

Good Luck!
