My fiance is asking....

[kcir-is-love 4]

Hi! My fiance is asking how much money he needs to have in the bank at the time of my interview? All I know is that, along with the I-134 Affidavit of support, he only needs to have W2's, ITR's (which shows 125% above poverty line for two households - me and him), employment certificate and recent paystubs, correct? But in the affidavit of support form question number 7, it asks for the declaration of your assets and how much money you have in the bank..lol a lil bit confused here. We're just getting ready hehe Thank you all!

Yes to all highlighted in green.

All you need to put is your current annual salary. As long as you earn above the 100% poverty line ($15,130). If you do not earn above the poverty line. You will need to list you asset, properties etc.. or have co-sponsor.

On my I-134. I only put my salary. Everything else I put NONE. I earn way above the poverty line. I only submitted W-2s, ITR, Employee letter.

You can see the sample I-134 form on VJ

I thought it was 125% above poverty line? hehe and they said that in the Phils, the co-sponsorhip is a case to case basis.. hehe anyhow I already have my aunt's papers for the affidavit of support if in case we need a co-sponsor. hehe

Does the affidavit of support need to be notarized? Thank you so much for your response

I-134 Affidavit of Support - Evidence of sufficient income: Applicants using the I-134 typically will need to show that their sponsor's income is 100 percent of federal poverty guidelines.

I-864 Affidavit of Support - Evidence of sufficient income: As with the Form I-134, the sponsor must show that they have sufficient income or resources so that the sponsored immigrant will not become a public charge, i.e., the sponsored immigrant will not have to rely on government assistance. For the Form I-864 the law requires that a sponsor demonstrate an income level at or above 125 percent of the Federal poverty line.

No. The Affidavit of Support doesn't need to be notarized. Just filled out, sign and dated.

I have to disagree. 100% is reserved for Military Personel. 125% or above applies to the Majority. Even for a I-134 and or I-864.

Correction made in regards to I-134 (125% of federal poverty guidelines).

Military Personnel are 100% of federal poverty guidelines.
