US Embassy and Consulate Discussioni-134 questions

My USC finance is self employed, doesn't have enough income yet and is unsure whether he has enough in savings for the i-134 form. However, I have savings in my country, which when combined with his savings would put us over the required $60k mark. Can we use my savings (which are in my sole name) to qualify or must it all be in his name in the US? Also, he does have a retirement account, could he use that as evidence of savings?
Thank you.



$60k mark? (Huh? $60k would be like, a household size of 11)
How big is your household size?

How much does he make, and how much does he have in savings?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDates for UK interviews?

I was just wondering if anyone knew how long it usually takes to get your interview date at the London US Embassy. I was thinking of getting some concert tickets but don't want them to clash with an interview. Are the interviews usually just certain times of the month?

Thanks
Nicky


Can you fill in your timeline please?

Have you returned packet 3? Has it been checked in yet?
Have you done your medical?

You won't get an interview date until these steps are completed.
The UK seems 'fairly' quick these days with interview dates.

But there's no way of really guessing a timeframe without information.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Question
For annual income (line 7), should I be doing:

a) the amount on my employer letter (pre tax)
b) the amount on my tax transcript (post tax)

I exceed the requirements regardless of what number I use.
I'm just not sure which is the correct one to put on the form.

US Citizenship General DiscussionN400 + Taxes Question

Funny my friend files and has no income or job and gets money back from the school stuff. Whatever.


There are certain types of credits that you can get some money back even if you haven't paid any into it. Like the 'American Opportunity Credit' for education. My friend doesn't qualify for any of these (we already went through tax prep software and such which would find that sort of credit). Those are the only exceptions that I know of.

Yes he should still file, he may be able to get some money back.


He had no tax taken out, thus he couldn't get anything back by filing.

If I remember correctly, IRS does require individuals to file for tax returns even if they did not have any income.
Once he/she files, your friend can send it with a letter explaination stating there was no income.
Hope that helps.


You aren't required to file a tax return under certain circumstances. (which he falls under.)

There's nothing in there about permanent residents, which was why I was asking if there's anything specific for them requiring them to file. I think the letter attached to the n400 sounds like the best idea.

Thank you all!

Asking this on behalf of a friend of mine who wants to file the N400 this year.
He has five years of residency.
However, this past year he was a full time student with no income.

1. Should he still file a tax return even though his income is zero?
2. What, if any, documentation would he need to show he did meet the tax requirements for this past year?
