Financial support documents, tax transcripts

[SteJen 0]

I'm getting anxious with the interview process right around the corner for my fiancee in the UK. I've been reading up on what is needed or asked for at the interview. My problem is this: my tax return for last year is going to be borderline with the 125% over poverty guideline due to layoff etc. I've been at my current job a little over a year now and make well over the 125%. Should I foresee any problems for my fiancee at the interview (IO asking for only tax returns) or should she be ok if I provide copies of bank statement, paystubs etc? Thanks. I'd be pulling my hair out if I had any.

Your profile says UK, yet you post this in the Philippines, which is it?

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.

As long as income exceeds %125 povertyline counting self and fiancee, and any dependents, you should be fine. Edited September 30, 2007 by YuAndDan

Welcome to the Philippines!

Dont be worried with your last years income being in the borderline, their concern is mainly what your salary is currently. As long as you can prove to them by providing current paystubs, letter of employment and all other assets you wanted to include then you should be ok.

Good luck!

Sorry, don't know how I ended up in the Philippines forum. Kinda rushed when posting and getting anxious, what with interview coming up and all. But thanks for the advice anyway.
