For K3 visa interview at Mumbai, do we file I-134 or I-864 or both.

Also do we have to notzrize the copies of W2, tax returns, bank statements etc.

Thanks.

K-Visas are NON-Immigrant and use I-134, only the I-134 needs to be notarized.

From: 9 FAM 41.81 N4 DOCUMENTARY REQUIREMENTS (The foreign Affairs Manual used by all consulates)

9 FAM 41.81 N4 DOCUMENTARY REQUIREMENTS

b. K-1 and K-3 applicants are subject to INA 212(a)(4) and must demonstrate to the consular officer's satisfaction that they will not become a public charge. The Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213 A of the Act cannot be required. Applicants may submit a letter from the petitioner's employer or evidence that they will be self-supporting. The Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, may be required when the consular officer deems it useful.

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 the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

If your income exceeds 125% of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.

Please fill in profile details, YOU filed for K-3, NOT N/A and country is India, NOT N/A

Thanks. I added my timeline.

Do I have to send the IRS transcripts if I am sending copies of my W2 and tax returns.

How much time does IRS take to send the transcripts?

I had them both for redundancy, but either is fine (1040/W2/1099) OR Simple IRS transcripts.

It take only a week or so to get simple IRS transcripts ordered over the phone.
