Real Estate and the I-134

[Clarky and Tarah 0]

I'm hoping that me and my fiance will eventually get our NOA2, but while we're waiting I started looking at the Affidavit of Support. I've read alot of posts on here about it (and have made quite a few of my own) and I have a pretty good idea about what to do, but there is one more question that I have. In section 7 of this form it says "I own real estate valued at: _____________", then below that it says " Which is located at: ______________". Then it continues with section 8.

What if you own more than one location of real estate that you want to include in your Affidavit of Support? Do you just attach another sheet with that real estate information? I've noticed that they usually mention to attach a seperate sheet if you have more information, but it wasn't specifically said on this form.

I'm slightly below the poverty guidelines in anual income and would like to include this information. I do have my cousin co-sponsoring me, just incase my information isn't adequate, but I'd like to have all my bases covered.

One more thing, so I won't have to post a whole new thread on this later. What exactly are they looking for in personal property? I found on another website that they are interested in the approximate value of cars, jewlery, land, appliances and other equipment? Do you guys think this is accurate?

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

You can put total real estate value on that line. Its not asking for one location, but total real estate value, regardless of how many different properties there are.

As for the other property, you are correct, jewelry, cars, furniture, etc.

What I was told by the lawyer I talked to here is what you need to provide.

What is your yearly income? If it is above the poverty guideline by 125% then you do not need to provide ANY of the other requested information.

The only reason to provide additional infomration like property value, car value, stock value etc is if you do not make anough money from your job to be at or above the 125% povery guidline for the number of people you will be supporting. If you currently support yourself and you are brining your fiancee/wife here then you have to be above the guideline for a household of 2 people. If you or your fiancee/wife have kids who live with you or will be living with you you would have to factor them into the calculation as well.

If you do not meet the guideline with your imcome here is what you need to do.

125% poverty guideline - your income = difference in income/guideline.

5 * difference in income/guideline = ammount you have to have in other capital

If you have 5 times the difference in other capital like a home or a car or stocks, or all of them combined then you meet the requirement.

This is when you would need to provide information for a house etc.

If I put the total real estate value, what would I put in the location for location of the property where it says (street and number) (city) (state) (zip code). There is only one line for this and I have more than one real estate location I would like to include.

My income is $8,000 below the 125% poverty guideline that is required for the number of people in my household. I have more than enough in real estate/assets to make up 5 times the difference. I was just needing a way to put them all onto the I-134.

You could add a separate sheet to the I-134, if there isn't enough room on the actual form.

I was thinking I could do that since they tell you that you can on other forms, but I wasn't sure because it wasn't specifically mentioned. I think that's what I will do.

Thank you all so much for your information.
