I-134 tax returns question

[Seyfeneva 7]

Hi

Not sure on what fourm to put this on but i guess here is a good [lace to start and if it needs to be moved please feel free to move it to the correct fourm.

I have a question about tax returns, I am filling out my I-134 and want to know if i need to include my 2012 tax returns because i filied as married at the time (2012) and now i am not so it show what we made as a married couple but now i am single and it will be totally different. Can I just use my family support that is way above the poverty line and my employment? I also have a savings account that is decent amount and two timeshares that can be sold for a good deal of money. Any advice is welcome.

Thank you

You probably need to include your ITR and W2. Your W2 will give them an idea of your own annual gross income. Also, to be on the safer side, include a Certificate of Employment from your company indicating your pay rate/hour and/or annual income. All you have to prove is that your income meets the poverty guidelines.

Please read this link I've got from your consulate website. I hope it helps. GOOD LUCK!

10. EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT: K-1/K-2 principal and derivative applicants are subject to

INA 212(a)(4) and must demonstrate to the consular officer's satisfaction that they will not become a

public charge. The enclosed information sheet, Optional Form 167, lists evidence, which may be

presented to meet this requirement of law. The affidavit of support to be submitted must be Form I-134

and must be accompanied by the most recent year’s tax return form. Co-sponsors should also include a

copy of their US passports or green cards to their I-134 form.

AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT

Persons in the United States who desire to furnish sponsorship for an applicant in the form of an affidavit of

support should use Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, available from the USCIS offices or the following web

site: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-134.pdf. Sponsors may also elect to furnish a statement in the form of

an affidavit sworn to before a notary public or other official competent to administer an oath, setting forth his

or her willingness and financial ability to contribute to the applicant’s support and reasons, in detail, for

sponsoring the applicant.

The sponsor’s affidavit should include:

1. Information regarding his or her annual income;

2. Where material, information regarding his or her other resources;

3. Obligations for the support of members of his or her own family and other persons, if any;

4. Other obligations and expenses;

5. Plans and arrangements made for the applicant’s reception and support;

6. An expression of willingness to deposit a bond, if necessary, with the USCIS to guarantee that the

applicant will not become a public charge in the US; and

7. An acknowledgement that the sponsor is aware of his or her responsibilities under the Social Security

Act, as amended, and the Food Stamp Act, as amended; that the affidavit and supporting

documentation may be made available to a public assistance agency. (The provisions of the above

laws are contained in form DS-1858, Sponsor’s Financial Responsibility Under the Social Security

Act, and printed in Part III of the instructions for Form (I-134)

The sponsor should include in the affidavit a statement concerning his or her status in the United States. If

the sponsor is an American citizen, the affidavit of should indicate the date of naturalization, the name and

location of the court, and the number of the sponsor’s certificate of naturalization. If the sponsor is an alien

who has been lawfully admitted into the United States for permanent residence, he or she should state in the

affidavit the date and place of admission for permanent residence and the alien registration number which

appears on his or her Alien Registration Receipt Card.

To substantiate the information regarding income and resources the sponsor should attach two or more of the

following items to the affidavit:

1. Copies of his or her latest federal income tax return;

2. Copies of his or her latest W-2 forms

3. A statement from his or her employer showing salary and the length and permanency of employment;

4. A statement from an officer of a bank regarding his or her account, the date the account was opened,

and the present balance;

5. 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.

If the sponsor is well established in business, he or she may submit a rating from a recognized business rating

organization in lieu of the foregoing. If the sponsor is married, the affidavit of support should be signed

jointly by both the husband and wife. Affidavits of support should be of recent date when presented to the

consular officer. They are unacceptable if more than one year has elapsed from the date of execution. A

sponsor may prefer to forward his or her affidavit of support directly to the consular office where the

application will be made, in which event the contents will not be divulged to the applicant.

Note: An applicant who expects to meet the public charge provisions of the law through the

presentation of an affidavit of support is encouraged to forward this information sheet to his or her

sponsor so as to assist the sponsor in preparing an affidavit.
