3 Questions about I-134

[rks_emelander 5]

Hi all, I'm current filling out the I-134 for my fiancee's interview that we hope to schedule next month (China still hasn't opened dates for January) and I have a few question I hope the community can help with--

 

1) On the I-129F form, we entered the name of the small village she was born in the place of birth. Since then, we have gotten an official copy of her birth certificate which places her birthplace as the main city in the District, of which the aforementioned village is a part of (District and City have same name, village has a different name). We included that District/City name on the DS-160 and I'm intending to include that City/District name on the I-134. Is this sufficient and then if the question comes up she is able to simply explain that her village is a part of the City/District, which her birth certificate can back up?

 

2) Should I include retirement accounts and checking accounts in the Petitioner Assets section even if they don't have notable amounts  (say less than $15,000) in them?

3) I am a remote worker and independent contractor who is well over the required income level and has primarily worked for the same client for over the 3 years needed in this form. I can provide evidence of monthly payments from them and 1099 forms for each year along with the tax returns/transcripts. Will this be sufficient so that I will not need a co-sponsor.

Thanks all!

1) IMO you are good to go with what you have done... 

2) & 3)  only list assets that you are willing to provide evidence for... I only included my income because it was easy to verify with paystubs and tax transcripts and my income is above the threshold... if you list your house, for example, you would have to provide a professional appraisal, etc.

As far as I know, if house is a primary residence, it cannot be used as an asset for I-864.

Overall agree, if income is enough to prove eligibility, no need to list assets at all.
