I-134 Affidavit of Support and Letter of Intent

[bambastic 1]

1. I just moved back to the US and been working since March. I used to live in Manila and was earning in Philippine Peso. For 2013 I did not meet income requirements. With my job now, I make above the income required. Will this be an issue? They do not allow co-sponsors in the Philippines.

2. Do I put a 0.00 for deposit on savings bank, personal property, stocks and bonds... or do I put N/A? I believe I don't have to provide savings bank info if I meet the income requirements right?

3. For #8 on the Affidavit of Support, Do I put my fiance's name and her daughter? Or does this mean if I have other dependents?

4. Do you have a sample of the second Letter of Intent to Marry letter? The first one was addressed to USCIS... how about the second letter?

It is required to show your most recent taxes, but on the I-134 you should put your current annual income and also provide a letter from employer and/or recent pay stubs to prove that income.

If you do not need or want to use assets to fulfill the requirements of the I-134, then you leave the whole assets section blank.

The intending immigrants that you are agreeing to sponsor are listed in #3. #8 is asking about your dependents. If you have none, then just put None in the first line.

Letters of intent do not even need addresses on them, but if you want to include an address, simply reuse the same letter of intents you had before and change the USCIS address to that of the Manila consulate.

The embassy in Manila wants to see your tax return and a W-2, not having those makes things difficult, in you case I would for sure get a letter from your employer stating your gross yearly income, that you are a full time employee and such, plus include pay stubs. I would also suggest you write a letter explaining that you had been living in the Philippines before which is why the tax return issues for 2013.

As for co-sponsors, the embassy is 50/50 on accepting them; they will only consider a co-sponsor that is immediate family, so it won't hurt to include a co-sponsor. (there is info in my link from others that have been approved with a co-sponsor)

You can leave the info on savings, personal property, stock and bonds blank if you have no assets to list (most times the embassy will not even consider assets)

USEM has not been asking for a or taking Letters of Intent to Marry for years now, but if you want to include one (just in case) simply copy the one you used for USCIS, don't need an address on it.
