I-134 supporting evidence

[Cacerez 19]

I make well over the 125% poverty guidelines for a household of two (my fiance and I), what other forms do I need to show with this? I can easily get a letter from my boss stating how much I make, how long I have been there, that it is permanent, etc. Do I need a letter from the bank or to show proof of life insurance or previous tax returns or what? I am wondering if this is just for those who don't meet or barely meet the poverty guidelines. I have spend the last hour reading the guides and other topics and have not found the specific answer to this question.

Also, at the interview do they need to see the original of my (USC petitioner) birth certificate and divorce decree, or only the beneficiary?

Thanks!!!

The directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

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.

• 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/faq/0,,id=199557,00.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.

Anybody know about if my fiance will need my birth certificate and divorce decree, or just his BC?
