I-134 requirements for visa interview

[dystopia 112]

Hi,

 

Are W-2, tax return and pay stubs sufficient for supporting documents? Or i still need bank statements and employment letter?

Currently doing the I-134 to prepare for visa interview. Making over $50k, sufficient for the two of us. Is it okay not to declare 401k, account balance, etc.? 
If i'm not declaring assets, do i simply leave all asset related questions blank and document only the income? 

I'm thinking I have to do all of this again in I-864, and would have to ask my employer and the bank again for such statements; or perhaps can I still use the same bank & employer statements when we file for AOS if I declare assets now? Sorry for this very confusing question. Thank you in advance!

All that is required with the I-134 is copies of the most recent tax return and W2, unless you are a new employee, then employer letter and pay stubs would be good.  Bank statements... maybe for a self-employed, otherwise I will say NO.

 

Now with all that said, the embassy has not been asking for any support evidence in most cases.. most NOT all.  They still sporadically ask.

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT. You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge or burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form may be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner’s ability to be financially responsible for you. You may also be asked to submit your petitioner’s most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included to substantiate the I-134. Download Form I-134 at http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis.

Indeed! And we appreciate this a lot! It has everything in one location and has all the answers to questions we have right now after NOA2. Thank you for making our lives easier. To the both of you, kudos!!

Hello @Hank_ and @Sagot,

Sorry to bother again. I have a follow up question. On the new I-134 form, there's a question in page 2, part 2, about beneficiary's Alien Number. Do I leave that blank or write the A-Number listed in K1 NOA2? I have been googling and the answers differ. Thank you!

I didn't know there was an I-134 form required? Is that part of the Petitioning for the Spousal Visa, and Application/Interview requirement? This is part of the Direct Consular Filing, is that correct?

[dekedwin 52]

This is different than the I-864 is it?

The A number from your NOA2 applies here. That is a permanent number assigned to you so anytime requirements ask use it.

The i-134 is a requirement for the interview BUT the Embassy most times does not ask for it. Just the same be prepared.  All requirements for the interview are contained within the Embassy Letter. See link below.

If there is an A number on your NOA2 enter that or you can leave that blank,

The I-134 is for non-immigrant visas.  Doesn't apply with you, the I-864 is your form.
