I-134 Part 3: Other Information about Sponsor

[hannahfry3 0]

Hello!

 

In the I-134 Form I need to fill out my employment information. I will be starting a new job at the same time that my fiance has his K-1 Visa interview at the US Embassy in Chile. Should I put that new job in the employment section? If so, it is a subbing position so it won't be a fixed salary; what should I put for my yearly income? What I think it will be? Also, should I put a note in Part 7 and explain it is a new job which is why my taxes don't reflect what I will make this year?

 

On top of all that, I have a joint sponsor who will provide everything because I won't make enough anyway so does that make the rest of what I wrote not matter and I should just put anything?

 

Please help!!

This is just my personal opinion, but I think that it would be more detrimental than favorable to you.

 

Keep in mind that if you can't back up your claim, it's not worth the paper it's printed on. I can say I'm "going to be the president of a large and successful company in a few months possibly making 2,000,000$ per year".... but that's not a claim I could back up, and they're not going to look at that positively. EDIT: The fact that it's a temporary position also doesn't look extremely favorable in my opinion.

 

Current income, pay stubs, tax info, and the sponsorship together would be better. You can prove all of that.

 

Of note, you could provide a statement from your previous employer stating how much you earned, and the bank will often provide a similar letter of your account details. The big difference is that you can back up your claims on what you have earned.

So true, I won't guess on it.

 

But then should I not put anything? My joint sponsor has more than enough to support my fiance on his own. Also, my previous job was in Chile for a little over a year and I don't know if that'll help...

Always good to show something.... list assets, a bank account, prior tax filings... even if it amounts to $20, it's going to be "sponsored amount" + $20. 

Can't hurt you to list something that is true, even if it isn't much.

 

Keep in mind also that assets have to be proven during the green card process later on, so don't embellish what you own.

 

EDIT: I'm in a similar position actually. I earn the majority of the income and am the beneficiary, so I'll be sponsoring the amount. Doesn't mean we won't still show that she has earned SOMETHING, even if it wasn't much".

Wonderful! Yes, I have my bank account information written, which is something.

 

And sorry to keep bugging you, but then for my current employment, should I just put a note in Part 7 explaining how much I make per hour and that it is a part-time, temporary job?

"I derive an annual income of $xxxxxxx". This includes income from all businesses, salaries, tips, etc... regardless of whether it's temporary or not. Your income is your income.
