I-134 questions

[Lena&Islam 9]

Hi VJ members,

I need to run this by some of you. I'm starting to fill out my I-134 form and I need help on how to proceed. I got my tax transcripts for all 3 years 2011,2012 and 2013. The last two years(2012 and 2013) I meet the 125% poverty guidelines to be the sole sponsor for my fiancé. I am going to fill out the I-134 and be the only sponsor since I met the guidelines but because I'm in the middle of transition into a new job which I hope I'll get next month I'm wondering if the embassy will not look favorable at my I-134?. So since I can't show that I'm financially stable until I get into my next job, next month I am asking a friend to be a possible co-sponsor.

My friend who said he'd help me and be a co-sponsor would help me but when I told him that the embassy will need tax records from him to prove his income he hesitated and didn't want to share his tax record. He said he was ok with giving me his W2 and possibly a letter from his employment but wasn't comfortable with giving me his tax records. He makes way over the 125% poverty guidelines.

Should I just chance it myself and send only my I-134? or should I look around for another co-sponsor who is more willing to help me by giving me their tax record as a back up. Any suggestion of how I can get my friend to relax and let me have his tax record? Or any ideas how I can get it but not see any of it? I heard he can send it straight to the Embassy maybe faxing it in? or emailing to the embassy directly?

Thanks for reading. I'd appreciate any response to this matter!
