I-134 support documents for K1 interview?

[J&A10 17]

Hello!

I want to make sure if this is all the documents is needed to support I-134 form.

• I-134 form
• Employment letter 
• Bank letters
• 2 pay stubs
• 3 years Tax returns 2013 - 2014 - 2015  ... or do i need 2016 not 2013?

and if we needed a co-sponsor does he/she need to provide all the above as well? or there is different or extra documents?

Try to add 1-2 more paystubs, shows good consistency of income.

 

Also, if available, provide the 2016 W2 at least. I just was using 3 years of W2's.

 

If using a co-sponsor, they need to provide all of the above as well.

 

Note: not sure on Saudi, but bank statements generally aren't needed if you have sufficient income. Bank statements usually are used if you're using assets to off set income; but doesn't hurt to supply them of course. The more the better some times.

What about W2s?  Are you sending the tax returns or tax transcripts?

 

The year tax return will depend on your interview date and if the USC has filed 2016 at that point.  If not then 2013, 2014, 2015 will be needed.  

If they have filed 2016 by the time of interview then send 2014, 2015, 2016.

we went to IRS website and requested 3 years of IRS transcript to be send by mail .. is that it what we will need.. is it enough? or we need to provide W2s also?

and i'm confuse here in the picture under "Note" is this what we need to fill not IRS transcript?

The tax transcript is superior to the tax return.  As the above link you provide states, it is not merely just  photocopy of the tax return (1040) it is a verification that taxes were indeed filed and income amount.  It looks completely different than the tax return form.  So, yes it is good you requested them.  In theory that should be sufficient at interview.  However, anything the IO requests that you do not provide will cause you a delay.  I live by "better safe than sorry".  If you can also provide the W2s to your beneficiary just in case the embassy wants them, then all your bases will be covered.

 

At the Kingston embassy my then fiance provided them with my tax transcripts.  They still took the W2s I sent also
