Army Reserve/National Guard I-134 & I-864

[Rael 1]

Hey guys, I got a quick question for all Reserve Component members here and their fiances. I can say, I speak for every Reserve/National Guardsmen here so here goes.

I just started the K-1 Fiance Visa however, I need guidance on I-134 part just for confirmation. For the supporting evidence, is it possible to include Active Duty Orders ranging from 1 month to 100 days? For example, I was sent to Philippines for Operation Balikatan. Can I use those orders as evidence even though its AT orders? What about orders dating back 1-2 years?

Thank you.

Howzit Aris,

Wasn't sure at first what you were asking... Had to look up the forms you mentioned, cause it's been awhile since I filed my I-129. So I guess you're asking if you can use your orders as proof of income? If so, I don't think it would work because the orders don't show any actual income. You'd still have the W-2s or tax transcripts from those years showing your annual income. You can possibly use your LESs as additional proof showing the non-taxable allowances you received during those periods.

You could possibly use those orders as proof of having met in person in the last 2 years, or for proof of a relationship, but I would include additional proofs like hotel receipts, credit card bills, etc and of course the best proof, pictures.

As one of your sources of income yes, but not primary source of income. My hubby is natl guard as well. Tax docs sufficed but I do remember at the interview being asked what his civilian job was
