Option 1:

Since they want you to attach the tax returns (2012 in this case), whatever you have on the 2012 tax return as your income (from 2 jobs from last year) should be on your I-864 (AOS) Part 6 Line 13 (a) and also on Line 10. The fact that you have a different job combination in 2013 does not have to be on the form as you do not have a tax return for 2013 yet, anyway.

Note only 2012 tax return is required. Returns for 2011 and 2010 (second and third most recent years) are optional. I had included all three of them myself.

Option 2:

Use letters from your two current employers to substantiate your estimated income in 2013. That estimated 2013 income should be in Line 10 and also Line 13 (a). In that case you still need 2012 tax return amount to match with what you put in Part 6 #13 b (in this case).

My recommendation would be Option 1. You do not need to mention 2013 jobs and income because it is not over yet.

I have 2 jobs, but I only included income from one. As long as you make th eincome, which is no where near $30,000 for 2 people you are ok.

Hi Vjers!

Am about to fill out my I-134 form.. my 2012 total annual income was $95k.. and that's because I had 2 jobs last year (a full-time and a part-time job).. this year 2013, I still have 2 jobs but i changed my part-time job to per diem and with a different hospital now.. And I kept my full-time job with the same hospital as of last year.. here's my question.. number 7...

-- i am employed as or engaged in the business of ________ with __________ at _______ (address) ----> how can i put the names of my 2 jobs? or do i need a separate form for each? do i put my 2 jobs i have this year 2013 or the 2 jobs i have last year 2012? (coz my previous job is what's written in my W2, which of course am gonna submit to USEM)

-- i derive an annual income of: $_________ ----> do i write the total annual income which was the $95k added from both jobs?? Or do i need to fill out another I-134 form for my 2nd job so it'll show the annual income in each job/hospital?? And if ever i just add the annual income from both jobs, which hospital am i gonna write on top? (see above)

wheew.. that was long and confusing.. am sorry.. i hope you guys can understand what am trying to say.. and thanks in advance for all your help!

You only complete one I-134. You write your gross income for the year in the " $____________"

If there is not room on the form to list both places you work, added the info on a sheet of paper for listing the company names and addresses.

USEM will want a copy of your most recent tax return and W-2 (or in your case two W-2s)

If you income meets or exceeds the 125% poverty guidelines of the I-864P you do not need to list any other assets, nor include bank statements and such.

A copy letter and pay stubs are good to include.

K-1 doesn't use the I-864 form.

Thanks! I understand what you're saying, although we don't use I-864 but we use I-134 for K1..

Again, Thanks Hank!

So il add my 2 jobs income then and put on that "$________" line...

But do I put my 2012 annual income? (which has supporting w2 and tax transcripts) OR my estimated 2013 annual income? (which has supporting paystubs and letter of employment)

You put in your current (estimated) annual income, if working two jobs then the combined income.

Do like Dragnet... "Just the facts ma'am"

[mikey & me 4]

does the I-134 need to be notarized? thanks....

[HunNee 15]

does the I-134 need to be notarized? thanks....

No, it doesn't need to be notarized.. per USCIS website:

"You must sign Form I-134 in your full name. (Note: Signing Form I-134 is under penalty of perjury under U.S. law). For this reason, it is not necessary to sign Form I-134 before a notary, nor to have your signature notarize after you sign it."
