affidavit of support i-134 income req's etc

[shwndhh 0]

I have a fiance in the philippines. We are filing for K-1. I have 2 children that aren't listed as dependents on my tax returns. I also have a small business. In addition i have gotten a part time job recently. My adjusted gross income for 2005 was only 11,000us my unadjusted was 29,000 big discrepency due to startup expenses. It is much higher in 2006. My ex wife owes me 50,000 from equity in our house. I have documentation of this. I have money in a 401k as well.

What is the best way to file all this in i-134? Can i use the 401k or the owed money? Do i have to list my kids as partial dependents on the form?

Thanks

shwndhh,

With regard to the small business, be sure to distinguish between the business' income and your income. Your income is what's left over after the business expenses are subtracted from the business income. Many self-employed don't understand, or don't want to understand, this. It's you who are sponsoring, not your business.

You can use the amount in your 401k. (I don't know if or how they take into consideration that you don't have access to all of that money.)

Whether or not you can use the money owed to you might depend on how certain it is that you can actually get your hands on it. Even a court order won't pay any bills if your ex- simply doesn't have the money to give you.

If you're paying child support then I believe that you should show your children as partial dependents even if you do not get to take a tax deduction for them. If you don't, and the consular officer thinks that you should have, it won't put the consular officer in a positive frame of mind about you.

If I was to use 401k on my I-134 form where would I put the amount? In the "I have stocks and bonds with the following market value, as indicated on the attached list"

Or should I just attach my 401k statement

Khurram,

Both. Any information that one puts on the I-134 needs to be documented.

The I-134 is used for all K visas and handed over, if asked, at the interview. The I-864 is used for the CR or IR visa and is provided to NVC during the stateside part of the visa process. If your spouse/fiance arrives on a K visa, you will send an I-864 with your adjustment of status filing after US entry.
