I-134

[bora bora 1]

I'm posting this here because I always have quicker responses than in the Embassy forum...

This is regarding the I-134 form about my property-

I bought a new car in the end of 2005. Should I put down the original cost of the car or do I have to find what it would be worth now?

I'm still paying it off - does that affect what amount I should state?

(The question asks for a reasonable amount of the value of our personal property).

Did anyone answer this question?

Thanks so much!

obviously the vehicle is not worth what you paid for it. any value you could assign to that car would be the current fair market value minus what you owe on it.

i didn't list personal property on the i-134 btw

Right - like I said, the car is over a year old.

I was told by my brother-in-law, an accountant, that I can look up the price on-line.

I earn enough money that I do not need to include the car - should I just leave it out then?

I didn't think it was that important to include it.

I didnt have to add my car for additional income, but I did. It is paid off & I have title. I put down the Loan value added to the paperwork a color copy of my title & a copy from the credit union showing the price & date account closed @ 0.00

I dont think I would put anything down that was a current debt since you are not the true owner, just your lienholder. Maybe someone else can confirm.

my understanding is there isn't a need to count it unless you are close to the poverty level. if you are making 40k a year or more, i'd think that listing it is a waste of your time.

when i attended nessa's interview, the one conducting the interview didn't hardly look at all the paperwork we had brought. so my guess is they just want to make sure you have 125% of the poverty level.

Understood.

I am still paying off the car, so although I am buying (not leasing), it is not completely paid for.

I will not include any personal property.

My annual income will be enough.

Thanks for the help Charles and TexasBound!
