I know there are plenty of inquiries regarding the i-134 and a cosponsor, but it seems I have encountered a tricky situation. My mother has agreed to be our co-sponsor so I managed to gather all the required documents (i-134, 1040 from 2014, w2s from 2012-2014, pay stubs, and employment letter). According to the 2014 1040, She has 3 dependencies but she makes well over enough above the poverty line.

However, this is the issue: in 2014, she joint filed her taxes with my father (who happened to be unemployed so all the W2s and pay stubs indicate that she is the sole provider of the family and makes over the poverty line). However, ever since more than half a year ago, my father disappeared and none of us can get in contact with him. Therefore, the i-134 has my mother's signature and details. Since, we cannot get in contact with my father (who filed the 2014 1040s jointly with my mother at the time), I am not quite certain what I can do.

Perhaps I should write a letter to bring to the interview that would provide an explanation for the situation?

I think for the I-134, you will be fine with just your mom, as she is the one who made the money.

Later during Adjustment of Status, for the I-864, it wil be more of an issue but that won't happen until 2016, and she can file a new tax return by herself (well, married filing separately).

I'm no expert but from all I've read and all the pestering about the I-134 I've done to my consulate, I can tell you that's alright. your mom will be the co-sponsor, your dad isn't relevant her, specially because it's your mom who made all the income anyway. If you still have need of piece of mind, your mom can attach a Letter of Explanation, simply clarifying that issue further. and if you need MORE peace of mind (like me :P) e-mail the consulate where the interview will happen. They are ultimately who decide what's acceptable or not and at least my consulate replied super fast.

Thank you for both for your responses. It does ease my mind though now I will need to figure out how to deal with the AOS when the time comes.

In terms of emailng my consulate....they are pretty odd with inquiries through email. They are prompt, no doubt about it, but their responses leave a bit to be desired based on the inquiries I have sent them in the past few months about certain issues. Hopefully it won't be a biggie.

Like usual though, stressing out a bit as my interview is approaching soon. Got a solid month left of anxiety.
