Hello group!

I see several questions regarding income statements for the I-134. Some of these may pertain to my case. Anyone have quick answers?

1) I recall that if a sponsor lacked earnings at 125% of the poverty level, liquid assets of five times the shortfall could be used to cover the discrepancy. I can't find this in the documentation. Does anyone know where it is?

2) Can IRA/401k assets cover this earnings shortfall?

3) Suppose I don't want my beneficiary to have a summary of my earnings and assets. Is there a way to send them directly to the embassy in Kiev?

Thank you,

George

1) What's the difference between I-134 and the I-864? (other than length?) :help:

2) I recall that if a sponsor lacked earnings at 125% of the poverty level, liquid assets of five times the shortfall could be used to cover the discrepancy. I can't find this in the documentation. Does anyone know where it is?

I-134 is not legally binding the I-864 is. Yes 401K is an asset, Yes you can send directly in some cases , China you can. However during course of interview there may be questions asked so fiancee may need to reply in a correct manner. One question if you desire to marry this person why keep them in the dark as far as money issues are concerned.Trust is needed in a marriage.

They are going to help us live the good and just life, even if they have to lie to us and force us to do it. And they detest those who stand in their way."
