Evidence to include with Affidavit of Support

[trumble88 0]

I am preparing for my K1 visa interview in London.

My fiance meets the financial requirements. He is self employed and I am a bit confused as to what exactly I need to get from him to take to the interview.

Found this on the US embassy in London website;

• notarized copies of his or her latest federal income tax return;
• a statement from his or her employer showing salary and the length and permanency of employment;
• a statement from an officer of a bank regarding his or her account, the date the account was opened and the present balance;
• any other evidence adequate to establish financial ability to carry out his or her undertaking toward the applicant for what might be an indefinite period of time.

But I guess it is a bit different if he is self employed and I want to be able to give as much evidence as possible.

Does anyone know what the last bullet point constitutes?

And 'notarised' copies of his tax transcripts - where/by whom does this need to be done?

Thanks in advance!

London's pretty laid back about what you need to show for the I-134 for the K1. Some people get approved just showing a work contract and some pay stubs.

Have you seen the instruction sheet for the I-134? Under "supporting evidence" part C it shows what someone who is self-employed can show: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-134instr.pdf

That document was exactly what I was looking for - thank you so much!

Any ideas whether the tax transcripts need to be notarized?

First off, tax info does NOT have to be notarized. Self-employed can't show the variety of things things an employed person can. If the 2012 tax return For 1040, Line 22 is over the poverty threshold, that will get you approved in Lomdon. A transcript ordered from IRS would be better than your photocopy of the return.

The last bullet point is anything else that shows you've got money like

Your trust fund from rich daddy

Your brokerage account listing stocks, bonds.

Your social security or pension earnings if retired

Your Jumbo cd worth $100k

-- just show them some money.

I've been in regular contact with the Immigration Visa Department at the U.S. Consulate in Naples via email and I recently asked them about the supporting documentation.

Here is what I gathered:

• Bank statements showing checking and savings account deposits for the past year, the day I opened my account, my current balance, my average 12 month balance.
• Official letter from my employer on company letterhead stating that I am employed full-time and what my annual salary is and signed by my boss.

The IV Department said that I also need to provide my tax returns. My company gave me my recent w2.

So that is sufficient according to Naples.
