packet 3 and i-134

[dhufstader 0]

ok, i'm the petitioner in the US, my fiancee is in australia, I saw one of the guides state she needs an i-134 for the packet 3?

I filled one of these out and mailed in with my 129f packet, stating I am sponsoring her.. why would she need on also? or do I need to send her a copy of mine? (same one I sent in)

thanks!

The I-134 isn't necessary for the initial petition.

You should fill out another I-134 using recent tax info & pay stubs (it's probably been a while) and send it to her. She'll need to have one with the original, non-copied signature. Make sure to include all the supporting documents, too.

so I need to send her a copy of my tax return?

While its likely the I-134 you submitted with the original petition will be sent on to the Consulate, it would be safer to complete a new one and send it to your Australian fiancee, along with the required supporting evidence, so that she can include it in the reply to packet 3.

For the Sydney Consulate your most recent W2 and pay stubs should be sufficient to demonstrate your income (the form requests a letter from your employer, but many people are not able to obtain this). Also attach statements of your savings or other accounts as evidence of your assets (if relevant and needed).

Read under General Instructions for Supporting Evidence:

Part B: Statement(s) from your employer on business stationery stating:

- Date and Nature of Employment

- Salary paid

- Whether the position is temporary or permanent
