I-134 supplementary evidence

[Lance & Valérie 7]

Hello,

 

My fiancé and I have recently had our I-129F approved by USCIS and are awaiting the point when our case will be forwarded to the Montreal consulate and we can schedule the interview for the K-1 visa. In anticipation of this we have begun to gather the required documents.

 

My question pertains to form I-134 affidavit of support. I understand that if we require a co-sponsor to meet the income requirement of 125% of the poverty level that the co-sponsor will need to fill out a separate I-134 for themselves in addition to mine (the petitioner). If the co-sponsor’s income is sufficient to meet the 125% requirement, what supplementary documents are needed as evidence of this? Are pay stubs alone enough, or will it be required that they provide other evidence a well, such as tax documents, letter from employer etc.?

 

Also, if the co-sponsor if a legal permanent resident, what documents will be required to prove this fact? Is it enough to have copy of their permanent resident card and passport or will more be required?

It's impossible ot say what the CO will require for evidence of income for the I-134, but I highly suggest sending everything you have - pay stubs, an employment letter, and the most recent tax return (transcript preferred, or 1040 + W2s).

 

As for proof of being an LPR, a photocopy of the front and back of the green card should suffice.

Rule of thumb - more evidence never hurts. Get the letter, have your most recent tax year, bank statements, balances. Go all the way for this. I saw 3 people turned down today because of lack of financial proof.
