K1- I-134 + supporting documents

[AlicerCooper 32]

Hello,

 

I'm just going over Package 3 that the Sydney consulate provided me via email. This is what it says under supporting evidence: 

 

"Submit in duplicate evidence of income and resources, as appropriate:

 

A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions with deposits, identifying the following details regarding the account:

(1) Date account opened;

(2) Total amount deposited for the past year; and

(3) Present balance.

 

B. Statement(s) from your employer on business stationery showing: (1) Date and nature of employment; (2) Salary paid; and (3) Whether the position is temporary or permanent.

 

C. If self-employed: (1) Copy of last income tax return filed; or (2) Report of commercial rating concern.

 

D. List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s)."

 

I thought that because my partner is not self employed (C), we don't need a copy of his income tax return etc. We have all the documents for part "B" from his employer. I've been reading conflicting information now about how I need to provide his tax information as well for the embassy interview. 

 

What have people done in the past when they are using their partners employment as a means to meet the financial requirements of the I-134?

 

Thanks

Alice

yes you should take copies of previous tax transcripts. you can print them for free off the irs website. take those, the employer letter and a couple of months worth of pay stubs.

 

everyone has to use their partners employment for the i134 and i864. they are your sponsor (even if they have a co sponsor)

 

the govt wants to see current income as well as a history of previous income. they are MOST concerned about current, but they also want to see past as it demonstrates financial stability.

Ok thank you so much.

 

His employer sent me the letter, and a w2, along with two pay slips and a YTD payroll.

 

My partner has given me his bank details showing his stable income and savings over the last year.

 

So then I just need a IRS tax transcript too. Is this called an 1040 or something different?

FYI - Aussies

 

At the interview the embassy kept:

• I134 form
• W2
• 1040 form
• Letter from employer

 

They didn't look at bank statements or pay stubs. Ofc that's not to say don't bring copies of those things, but it seems like the tax stuff was the most important!
