I-134 Affidavit Co-Sponsor

[maki11 0]

I am hoping to get some input on the best way to approach the I-134. My 2011 taxes reflect the fact that I did not start working until August of that year since I did a year of volunteer work in Honduras. Based on the income from the W2's, I did not meet the "requirement." However, I do have two employment verification letters, one from 2011-2012 School year and present school year, attesting to my yearly salary (which is more than enough based on the guidelines). My plan is to bring copies of my paystubs that indicate my income in 2012 in addition to the bank statements.

I am trying to avoid any bit of doubt when it comes to the USCIS interview and therefore my parents are willing to be co-sponsors. Since they are married they file their taxes jointly. Is it necessary for both of them to get employment verification letters and bank statements as well? Which one would I write on the actual form?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I will suggest just to be on the safe side ask your parents for help. I heard using I-864 affidavit of support form most likely to get approved for co-sponsor...maybe let them sign both forms (I-134 and I-1864) bring both forms and together with their 2011 ITR no need to ask for employment letter from them ONLY YOURS...

You mention you'll be using your bank account (saving) for asset. Make sure you have 3x from the amount you are short. (Example: your short of $1000...to used your bank account make sure you have at least $3000)

Good luck

My fiances tax return of 2011 was negative. He didn't have a job last year. I went to the interview with that tax return and pay stubs and letter from his employer and had no problem. We were approved. If you are currently working and make over the poverty line, you will be fine with the consulate of Honduras.
