Form I-134 question 7

[QueenOfBlades 224]

My fiance has asked me to query what to put on Question 7 of the form I-134.

It says " I am employed as or engaged in the business of _______________________ with ____________".

Our co-sponsor who will be filling this out is his retired mom who gets social security and a pension. She is a widower and when her husband was alive, he was the money earner and she was a house wife. What would be the correct answer to put for this? The pension is the pension from her late husband.

I am exactly the person your fiance's mom is. Sometimes you have to be creative when the one-size-fits-all form doesn't fit.

I put "I am employed as or engaged in the business of pension: surviving spouse of retiree with XYZ Corp at Benefits Center, XYZ Corp, PO Box 1, Bigtown , MI."

I gave the dept and address of the place that administers benefits. I got a benefit statement from them stating I get $xxxx per month for the rest of my life, and I used that like an employee letter. It was fine with London and no mention of the Affidavit of Support was made by the interviewer.

She will also have a social security benefit letter that comes in December each year stating what her payments will be for 2013. A photocopy of that will be like an employer letter, also.

(QoB's fiance here). Will photo copies of the last 6-7 months of her pension payment stubs which are all the same pay and have "Rate: Monthly" on it work instead of a pension benefits letter? I have the social security benefits letter already, and I will have her get a bank statement with her savings account as well for good measure.

Yes. London isn't that picky to even need 6-7 months. I just called the benefit dept and asked them to send me a letter stating how much and that is forever. If it's a big company, they may even have a retiree website with a "click here for a benefit letter". I noticed that after the fact. You will need all this again for QB's greencard. I dont get monthly paystubs is why I used the letter. They only send a paystubs if the tax laws change and the tax withholding changes so you know why the amount is different.

Sounds like you have it well lined out.

Thanks That answers his questions perfectly.
