I-134 - job "situation"

[kandikandi 31]

Hey guys,

Just a little bit on my situation - my American fiance was unemployed for a few months last year so his 2015 tax transcripts just missed the poverty line requirement. However, he has been employed from Aug 2015 to present time and is changing to a new job again in September (he just got that offer). Both his current job and his upcoming new job surpass the poverty guidelines.

A few questions:

So I gather that we will have to provide his tax transcript for 2015 - should I show the tax transcripts from previous years to show that he was gainfully employed before his period of unemployment?

I understand that if his 2015 tax transcript does not meet the poverty guidelines we will have to show bank statements. How far back should we go with the statements? A few months prior to the interview or possibly for 2015?

Do we provide a job letter from his present job and also supply the job offer for his new job he is supposed to begin in September? Pay stubs won't be a problem, we will supply all that he has for the year so far.

If there's anything i missed that you suggest I provide, please let me know - I prefer to be over prepared than under prepared.

Thanks guys..

The letter of employment showing how much he currently makes from his employer and the most recent pay stubs showing this is very helpful in proving that he makes enough to be over the poverty level is the most helpful for the I-134. Bank Statements they generally want a year's worth if they ask for it.

In regards to him switching jobs, if he does this before the interview, he will want to provide the Letter of Employment from his Current Employer that he will be at when he interviews. They want the most current information for that to show he is currently gainfully employed. They don't really want letters from a job that he no longer works at.
