US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Question about I-134: PLEASE HELP!	QUOTE (Stephen + Elisha @ Oct 27 2009, 09:52 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Lari_razvi @ Oct 26 2009, 09:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello all! My fiance has just been approved for the I-129F and I am gathering the paperwork to send over to him before his interview. I have come across a problem regarding the I-134. I graduated from college last year so my previous income for 2006-2008 has been below $15,000. But this year now that I am employed in my profession I will be making over $30,000. I am unsure if I need a co-sponser since I will not have the W2 for this year by the time I send him my paperwork. Not a problem. The consular officers are looking for evidence of current, sustained income. If you are currently employed at a salary of $30,000 per year, you'll be fine. You will substantiate your current income with pay stubs (six months' worth, or as many as you have if you've been employed less than six months). In your case, a letter from your employer (if they are willing to provide one would probably be helpful as well. The previous year's tax return or transcript is meant to demonstrate sustained income. You may wish to attach an explanatory note regarding your full-time student status. But your current income is the most important, and it's sufficient to meet the requirements provided that you document it. QUOTE Also, I am living at home with my parents, so do I need to look at the level of poverty for a household of 4, or do I just need to look at the level of poverty for a household of 2 (my future husband and I)??? Please help!!!! Your parents are not your dependents. You don't need to include them in your household size. Your household size for the purpose of the poverty level calculations is 2—you and your fiance. Thank you so much for you help! I was worried that they would take into account the income that I have had for the past 3 years and that it would be of importance. I have no problem giving them my past 3 years of tax returns. Are copies ok of the tax returns? and also are copies ok of the paystubs? Not sure if they would need the originals?!?!	Lari_razvi	Not Telling	Romania	2009-10-27 20:32:00
