I-134 Question about income and job

[PokuPoku 24]

I'm confused by what it means by "Income Contribution to the Beneficiary Annually". Its in Part 2 and Part 3. I read somewhere on here that I should just list 0 in part 2 and list my annual income on part 3? The way its worded makes me unsure about it. Should I list an estimate of my expected income this year, or should I list last year's income? If my paycheck is $200 a week, I should include a receipt of that and just multiply that by 52 weeks and say thats my income from my employed job? And then just add that to my last year's self-employment income (which I expect to be similar this year)?

 

 

For this part, I can only select A OR B, but i'm employed AND self employed. Do I need to just print it and mark that in manually and explain it in part 8 additional information?

 

 

Thanks. I'm just wanting to make sure I do it right since my employment income is kinda on the edge of the 100% poverty line for a 3 person household. My assets are worth around $70k, not including the house, so money isn't too much an issue, but i'm worried low employment income might be problematic? With a large amount of cash + stock assets, it should be fine, right?

Focus on proof of your own income.  The I-134 is used for a variety of visas and the beneficiary income is of no consequence.  N/A it all.  It is your job as the sponsor to provide evidence of lasting support.  It's trickier with self employment but getting tax transcripts from the IRS is a good place to start.  Bank statements would also be useful.
