I-134 affidavit question

[colo20 0]

Hello Every one. I am the Beneficiary and I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone for your contribution so far including your posts and comments on my previous post.

We got our case number on December 18 and my case status online shows "READY"..My Fiance was studying last year and did not make enough money so her mum will be acting as our Co-sponsor. I have been reading post so far about affidavit but i am not really clear what documents do my fiance and her mum need to support the I-134 form.Apart from letters from their employers and pay stubs ,

Do they need most recent Tax return, tax transcripts, 1040, W2. which of them exactly do they need for embassy in Finland as i have seen that the embassies are different in what they ask.I will be happy to hear your experience so that she can start preparing them when she return to USA after Christmas holidays next month from Cameroon.

The primary sponsor/ petitioner and the co-sponsor will both need 3 years tax transcripts. A few payslips and a letter from the employer stating salary and that it is a permanent job is strongly suggested.

Thanks for your response. i thought the three year of tax returns are needed for spouse visa and k1 fiance visa is the most recent tax return transcript.please i will be happy to hear from other members from finland who have actually had their interview in Finland.Thanks

Just provide most recent tax transcript, letter from employer and/or most recent pay stubs. You should not need anything more to prove your income.The co-sponsor should include proof of being a USC or LPR, in case asked for that.

I went overboard because I was paranoid about any possible hiccups in our process, so I gave my fiance everything I could: three years of tax transcripts, W2s and 1099 forms, paystubs and letters from employers. Because my income was only slightly over the poverty line for the current year (great in the past, but not this year), I even had my parents prepare a co-sponsor packet with all of their info (transcripts and 1099s etc), which we held in reserve and didn't submit, just had in case we were asked.

As it turns out, the embassy barely spent 5 minutes looking at my stuff, if even that -- my fiance handed the whole packet over and was called to the window 5 minutes later, and they did not ask a single question about any of the financials. Never even showed them the co-sponsor stuff, so I passed their threshold on my own I guess. Either I gave them more than enough (most likely!) or they don't really pay a lot of attention to it in Finland -- but you may get more scrutiny than we did, so I'd always advise giving them everything possible, to avoid any problems.

In the long run I'm glad I overprepared: it has made the AOS process here easier, because I had all of my tax / paystubs / information and just had to update with the last six months of things since the interview, it was all organized and easy to fill out the I-864. So I'm glad I did and I'd suggest you do the same.

I am currently unemployed but have hope of getting a job in the new year, do to studying and never having been previously employed I do not have any tax returns that I can provide, if I do get permenate employment soon and I'm making 120% of the poverty, will this be an issue?

Also I have no one that can co sponsor

And my fiancee will be coming from England

I meant to say 125%...

Making 125% in the future doesn't count, but if, by the time of interview, you can provide a few paystubs and a letter from the employer saying the job is permanent, you should be ok.
