Is this were everyone is getitng their information about obtaining these forms ?

And why 3 years? Where in the form does it say 3 years worth of W2s and 1040 ? I am not seeing it.

So its $39 per year of 1040s and the W2s are free?

Do I want the COPY or the TRANSCRIPT? It seems the transcript is free ?

You're looking in the wrong place.

Each consulate has different requirements for the I 134, and what supporting documentation they want. So you need to look at the requirements for whichever consulate you (or your fiance/e?) will be going through for the K1 process.

You will not get information about what a US consulate wants from the IRS' website.

Does your consulate ask for transcripts?

So does anyone know (I'm sure someone does) what the Montreal Consulate requires? Yes I could go look but I'm being lazy.

All you need is the SIMPLE transcripts from the IRS they are FREE.

The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

In our case this what the I-134 included.

• I-134 signed and notarized.

• SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

• Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)

• Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.

• Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.

My income was well above 125% povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

Again Bank Statements are not needed if income meets or exceeds 125% povertyline.
