Form I-134 Supporting Evidence Question

[randrb 17]

Hi!

I'm in the process of filling out the I-134 for sponsoring my fiance for the K-1 visa and have a question about the supporting evidence they ask for.

I work for the US government (the Army). For evidence, the i-134 says to get a letter from your employer on company letterhead with information about your job, salary, length of employment,etc.

The problem is, I can't quite get this. The government doesn't quite work like a small little company. I am able to get a form that gives all the information about my employment that is required, however it's not on company letterhead. It just has the logo of the Army. I have some other paperwork, like my official job offer, etc, that I figured I would make a copy of for my fiance to bring to his interview.

I was wondering if you guys think this is sufficient, or should I be worried that they could think this stupid paper is fraud or something and deny him?

Speak with someone in Admin, let them see the requirements explain to them what is needed and they can draft a letter have have your CO or senior SNCO sign it.

That should satisfy the requirement.

Good Luck

Agreed with Stefany/Dwight. I was in the army also and I know how it is with the paperwork; but something from your company commander or the battallion commander(if you can get them to sign something) would most likely suffice as the military is a whole different type of world compared to working at other companies.

Just explain what you need and they should be able to draft something. Maybe also attach a copy of your original enlistment papers(some of them cause I know it's a huge packet originally at MEPS) or a copy of your englistment records just to show also you're official enlistment dates and all

Thanks to both of you! I work as a civilian (social worker) on a base. Things definitely are different than normal companies! Thanks for the advice!

In this position do you have a contract as you are working as subcontractor?

that will work

The primary evidence they look at is the tax return from last year.

If you have and you made above the poverty guidelines, than you should be fine
