How to fill in Q#7 of I-134 regarding monetary?

[Kabigon 0]

Both my father (co-sponsor) and I are filling out the I-134. The most confusing part for BOTH of us has to be question #7. We just aren't sure exactly what they want. I guess the general question is... do we have to fill in EVERY slot we fill in? Like our family has bought life insurance, so both of us will fill in the amount--must we also provide a copy of our life insurance policy? It seems kind of strange... but this goes a long as well with the others.... real estate/mortgage/etc... do we have to have some sort of documentation showing those too? I, myself, don't have any, but my father certainly does.

My income is inadequate, thus I will provide my bank statements & everything else that is required (aka the "usual") I was told that if my father's income level was adequate (meeting > 125% poverty level), he wouldn't have to fill in the others as they only look at income. Or maybe the other slots like life insurance/mortgage/stocks/bonds/etc help? Hmm, any suggestions? Thanks.

#7 is asking for proof that you can support this person. If your income is inadaquate below poverty but you had say, a house valued at $1M and a life insurance valued at 7 gazillion, you could use that, plus the supporting documents to provide (ie, copies of the appraisal and the insurance policy). If your father is a willing co-sponsor and has ample income above poverty, you would not have to include insurance policies, etc.

Fill in the lines that pertain, fill in N/A or None for anything that doesn't. Do not leave blanks. If the income is sufficient, and you don't NEED to provide real estate holdings, life insurance, to make up the balance, then you don't have to put it (unless you would want to).

If your income is below the line, your bank statements will probably get brushed aside.... they will concentrate on your father's info.

Ah yes. My income is below the line, but I have also provided my co-sponsor (father's) necessary documents including his income, tax returns, bank statements. He has real estate property and mortgage, but I wasn't sure if he needed to include as his income is already sufficient. Thank you very much for the reply; it clears up a lot.
