K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSupporting documents for I-134 on a K-1

WAY WAY OVERBOARD! :whistle:

Seriously, if you qualify on income alone then a tax transcript for at least the most recent tax year and a recent letter from your employer. That's all. Nothing else is needed in the majority of cases.

You don't need bank statements unless you're using assets to qualify or you're self-employed.

You don't need a Social Security statement. Ever. In fact, this is the last year that SSA will be sending statements. On top of that, a Social Security statement may not show all of a person's earnings, especially if they hit the cap on payroll taxes in a given tax year. My Social Security statement shows I didn't earn anything in two years in the late 80's, although I did have income. My employer those two years was a crook who never sent the payroll taxes he withheld to the SSA, and since the company went bankrupt there's nothing I can do about it.

You don't need broker statements or stock certificates unless you're using assets to qualify.

You don't need W2's if you're submitting transcripts. Ever.

You don't need letters from your bank unless you're using assets to qualify or you're self-employed.

If you have a recent letter of employment that states when you started and how much you earn then you don't need pay stubs.

Seriously, don't overthink this stuff. You need to submit at least the most recent tax return or transcript to show that you have annual income that's sufficient. After that, you need to show that you're still employed and earning enough. If your income last year was enough, and you're still working for the same employer, then a tax transcript and employment letter should be good enough.


Hi Jim...i know that my list is way too much, i'll get my interview at US Embassy in Jakarta-Indonesia after NVC send his petition to US Embassy in Jakarta, more or less they will ask all of the docs and papers above to support my fiance I-134. Would be great if they don't ask too much papers so i can go to US Embassy only with my binder and leave the Santa Claus's bag haha...but we won't complain about that as long as i get my K1 Visa. Thank You for your opinion :)

We got our NOA2 on Oct 30 2011 and still waiting our case# from NVC, while waiting i asked my fiance to get all of the supporting documents that i need, here's the list:
•I-134 Form
•Bank statement (last 6 months) one per month for the last 6 months
•Investments (last 6 months)stocks or bonds (if you have any of it), provide copies of your statement from your broker or copies of certificates.
•Social Security statement
•W2 Forms (last 3 years)---->Tax Statement, one per year for the last 3 years
•Tax Transcript (last 3 years)one per year for the last 3 years
•Pay check stubs (last 6 months)one per month for the last 6 months
•Letter of employment (on company letterhead showing date and nature of employment, salary paid and the position is temporary or permanent, part time or full time job))
•Letter from the Bank (on Bank letterhead proving the day you opened your account(s), amount of deposits in the last 12 months and the account's current balance.
Hmmm..i have to recheck it again once we get our instructions from US Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia. She'll be submitting the I-134 form to a US consulate in her country and they have their own requirements to support I-134.
Good luck :)
