Another Delightful I-134 Question

[TheZilla 0]

I've got to apologize in advance if I'm asking questions already asked many times, the forums are hard to search because the engine keeps telling me it can't find anything.

Anyhoo, I live off the interest income of a large inheritance. Upon filling out the I-134 in item #7, "I am employed as or engaged in the business of.....", I entered 'SELF EMPLOYED" but I do not have an occupation with which to fill in the rest of the items regarding what business I am in. I am at present, in no business. Is it alright for me to just leave my answer as SELF EMPLOYED and leave the rest of the question blank? Do I have to state I'm unemployed and just count on my assets and interest income to reflect that I'm financially secure? Any help would be appreciated.

I would tell them exactly what your situation is, the way you explained it to us...that is the truth and the truth is always better than anything else. The fact that you have an inheritance large enough to live off the interest is good enough, IF that income meets the minimum requirements call for in the guidlines.

My inheritance [in stocks & bonds] is now about $317,000, and the annual interest income I take in is approx. $15,700 a year. I can reflect that the breadth of it can be readily converted into cash if ever the need be. I have all the income tax documentation reflecting all this.

So you suggest I enter "UNEMPLOYED"? I won't be going to the interview, so I'm counting on my fiance' to answer any questions.
