Just the petitioner needs a letter from employer HR on company letter head paper stating what your hire date was, position, total earnings for previous year 2017 assuming your interview will be this year and if your position is a temp job or regular full time employment. Beneficiary doesn’t need anything for I-134

The employment letter requires that you have stated your present salary as well as the other items that you had mentioned in your post. 

ok, so it needs the total earning so far as well as the present salary? in that case will we need to add a cosponsor or someone since the petitioner has only been working since september? i'm getting confused.

Well, I guess I’m in trouble then if that’s the case because I asked them to only put last years total income and I work for a major employer and was tough and long time to get them to provide me. I guess I will hope my current paystubs speak for me after that

An employment letter is an example of the type of evidence that can be provided.   It is not a mandatory requirement

I guess what im trying to ask is, are we trying to prove that the petitioner has the employment currently and earns over the threshold, or are we trying to prove that they have earned over the threshold in the last year? or both?

I would follow the I-134 instructions even though a poster is saying not mandatory for an employment letter. 

For your situation I would have them put what your earnings were for last year and what your current salary is for 2018

 

paragraph B in the attached from instructions on I-134

I’m only sharing what I’m presenting....I am more inclined to closely follow Greenbaum’s recommendation more than anything though.

And the instructions say ANY of the documents which does not mean ALL

The most important is today's earnings.  History shows a trend

I definitely have A and B...Says any of the documents but since my evidence of support is not entirely asset based such as bank statements in A, then B a letter from employer is probably best and since it is from the USCIS stating this is what is needed, I would follow that to be safe rather than sorry since you only get 1 shot at a good interview....unless of course you work for USCIS and have insider knowledge about that

What does employment at the uscis have to do with presenting an affidavit at a us embassy?  What I do have is personal experience providing affidavits to us embassies,  my current petition is not my first rodeo.

Every embassy is different sir....my embassy happens to be considered a high fraud country from what I’ve been told. Everyone has bias of some sort and I imagine the more financial evidence the better to ease those bias at the embassy. This isn’t everyone’s first rodeo and I would recommend providing what the I-134 asks for for anyone’s first interview. If in the future applying for something like this again at same embassy, then that petitioner will know how. Your previous experience does not rollover to all countries embassy’s.

You lack comprehension of what the instructions are saying.   No where in the instructions does it say that the items on the list are required.   Obviously you can choose what to provide or not provide as it is a personal choice.   But infering that it is required evidence for everyone to submit is wrong

I haven’t inferred anything, I shared what I did  with a poster their question about the matter. 

I simply stated to follow the instructions as it does state “Instructions for I-134” 

I will leave any advice in the future for Greenbaum

 

***the copy of instructions were from USCIS website...I didn’t make it up and in there it does say Failure to provide sufficient income may result in denial.

That’s what the instructions say. Or why have anything that says instructions

Actually if they follow the instructions they will pay the wrong fee because it will show instructions for filling out the ds-260 instead of the ds-160

That can be confirmed at payment stage or from someone from Colombia who had been recently interviewed. Lets hope this can be confirmed.
