US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134 Affidavit of support !!!	QUOTE (BellaChele68 @ Nov 3 2009, 09:58 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Inky @ Nov 3 2009, 10:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pay stubs ( we sent 6 pay stubs inlc most recent ) - good Letter from employer - good if you can get it, but not required Taxes from the most recent year, w-2 from the most recent year, tax transcripts. ( we did for the last 3 years the transcripts and the actual tax forms for the most recent year. ) - unless the specific consulate has its own requirements, usually only the most recent year's tax information is required. Three years is overkill unless the most recent year's income is unusually low and three years provides a better picture. We included the following: Two original letters from each of the banking institutions you will be including in your banking totals - bank information is only necessary if you can't qualify on income. If your income puts you comfortably over the poverty figures, don't bother with bank account or other asset information. KISS. Two original letters from employer - employer letters are good Three years tax returns and w2 information - as stated above, three years is overkill unless the embassy tells you different If you list a property: Appraisal AND mortgage or land contract Bank Statements for a couple of months Pay stubs for a couple of months - three to six months is better than "a couple" Car titles if you include vehicles as an asset - basically useless unless you can demonstrate that it's not your primary vehicle and you can thus afford to part with it. Also remember that it will only be counted at 1/3 of its depreciated value. Proof of any other assets you claim If child support is included in your income, certified history of child support received If there is a name difference due to a past divorce in the last three years, copies of divorce decrees to show legal proof of name difference The more you send them, the less likely it is to be rejected Good luck...double check and make sure you don't need an I-864...these are now the most commonly used AOS...we sent in BOTH just in case. I always like to err on the side of providing too much information.... I-134 is used at the time of interview for the K-1 process. I-864 is not used until adjustment of status in the US. Sending extraneous forms is not "erring on the side of providing too much information," it's demonstrating a lack of comprehension of instructions.

Does this mean people already dependant upon you, living with you, eg. children.. OR does is it asking you to write your spouse name there who you are sponsoring. There is already a question at the beginning of the form that asks you to write the info for the person whom you are executing the affidavit on behalf of... so I don't know why you'd have to write their name again. Can anyone help? here is the form to look at: http://www.uscis.gov.../form/i-134.pdf Yes, that question is referring to people already dependent upon you, such as children, elderly parents, etc. It does not count the intending immigrant, who as you correctly noted is already named in question #3.

What countries?: Canada (I presume) Japan (You mentioned) Hi, and thanks for your response. Canada, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam. My fiance read somewhere that Vietnam doesn't actually have these certificates and it might not be necessary/possible to get a certificate from here (I'm in Vietnam right now). The State Department reciprocity list is your friend: http://travel.state....ocity_3272.html Choose a country from the drop-down list, and it will tell you how to obtain police certificates from that country from either inside or outside the country. More importantly, it will tell you whether it's even possible to obtain such certificates. If it says on the State Department site that a certificate from a given country is not available, then the consulate won't ask for it at the interview (consulates are, after all, part of the Department of State). Off the top of my head, I can tell you that Korean police certificates (at least the kind that are acceptable for visa purposes) cannot be ordered from outside of Korea. Hence, the State Department considers them "unavailable." So there's one you can cross off your list.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Letter from employer and life insurance	QUOTE (NYC-KK @ Nov 5 2009, 10:42 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you all for your helpful advice about completing the I-134. A couple of more questions. 1. Should I ask my boss to sign more than one copy of the letter stating my position and income. Does each copy need an original signature or are photocopies OK? 2. It seems that question 7 on I-134 about life insurance might even be relevant even to those of us with sufficient income, since it is hard to continue to earn money once one is dead! My employeer offers a generous death benefit equal to three years' salary. Should I add a supplement to my I-134 to answer question 7 regarding life insurance? Should I get a letter from my employer to prove my death benefit? I look forward to your responses. 1. I had my boss sign 2 copies, but only ended up needing one. 2. Unless it's a whole life policy with cash redemption value, it really doesn't fit on the I-134 as it's not a liquid asset. I wouldn't worry about including it.

Do I need to submit Tax returns and/or Tax transcripts for the past couple of years no matter what? The job I am in now, where I make enough money to support us, would NOT be reflected in the past 2 years tax returns. Does this matter or are they simply just required so I just need to send them anyway? Any info would be GREATLY appreciated! Meggie. Follow your consulate's instructions. Most want to see your previous year's tax return or transcript (i.e., the most recently filed - 2008 for most people). Current income is most important. As long as your current income is sufficient (i.e., comfortably over the guidelines, not just scraping by) and well-documented (several months of pay stubs, and an employment verification letter if you can get one), you should be fine.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Affidavit of Support I-134 documents	QUOTE (Happy2Be @ Sep 15 2009, 12:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I too found out that my petition was approved at the USCIS, which was Sept 11th. Anyway I am preparing the Affidavit of Support, form I-134, and I will have to get a co-sponsor which my mom has agreed to be, because my income is below what is required. So my question is, how I get the form filled out for the co-sponsor? Do I fill out a second I-134 and have it state that they will support my Fiancee on my behalf and where I state relationship to sponsor, would I write "Daughter in-law"? Your fiancee is not yet your mother's daughter-in-law. In the worst case, answering that way could cause a consular officer to suspect that you're already married and deny the K-1. Write "Son's fiancee" QUOTE Also I would love to see some examples of filled out item #11 in the I-134 because I am not sure how I should write my intentions of support? VisaJourney Example Forms QUOTE Here is what I had written so far. I think this is fine but I am not sure what they want to see exactly: "I will provide housing, money for food, clothing and transportation for as long as my fiancee needs. We will get married once she arrives in the US. We will be living together from then on. My mom, BLANK, intends to help support her financially until she acquires her green card."

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Alien (Case) number	The Department of State/consulate case number is different from the USCIS A-Number. The A-Number appears on the NOA2. The DoS/consular case number appears on the letter you should have gotten from NVC shortly after you received NOA2. It'll start with a three-letter prefix that denotes the consular post, followed by a series of ten digits that denotes the date of receipt at NVC and a sequence number. So, taking ours as an example... SEO2009743XXX SEO = consulate (Seoul, South Korea) 2009 = year 743 = Julian date + 500 (243 = August 31) XXX = sequence number (case was the XXXth received for SEO on that date)	Stephen + Elisha	Male	South Korea	2009-09-17 21:35:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	about I-134	When you have a choice of evidence to submit, submit the evidence that casts you in the best possible light—and only that evidence. For self-employment, a letter from your employer isn't really an option. Three years' worth of tax returns (or better yet, transcripts, as they constitute proof of filing and acceptance by the IRS) are good. If your business holds a commercial credit rating, a letter denoting that can be helpful as well. If your income as indicated on the tax returns is well over the poverty guidelines, there's no need to submit bank statements—and, as Gary stated, 2 months' worth of bank statements are going to raise more questions than they answer. Get a bank letter with the info Gary outlined, attach a year's worth of statements, or leave off the bank statements entirely if your income makes that feasible.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Do tax returns need to be notarized?	QUOTE (Leo&Farah @ Sep 18 2009, 09:06 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Augh, just got packet 3 from the embassy and they use an old form OF-167 as well. So they ask for notarized tax returns. Since we have a co-sponsor lined up just incase, his mom and his dad (one or the other), they use tax returns. Good thing I did ask them to notarize them. However it also says this in the packet 3 checklist: QUOTE The enclosed information sheet (OF-167) lists evidence which may be presented to meet this requirement of law. An original signed notarized Affidavit of Support (Form I-134) must be provided. A notarized I-134? I thought with the new I-134 (penalty of perjury thing added) there was no need to notarize them anymore! His pop has already notarized the tax returns and will be mailing the stuff to Leo to send to me very very soon. (Since they don't live in the same state). Is it absolutely necessary to notarize the I-134? I don't want to cause more hassle for him than is needed and it would mean another damn trip to the bank. With his pop supplying 3 years of tax returns, notarizing them, letter from employer and pay stubs IN DUPLICATE, the last thing I want to do is send him somewhere he has been. I need to watch my impression on the future in-laws >.< I know for SURE the new I-134 does not need to be notarized but how do I tell the embassy something they should already know? I doubt it will be a problem, as the new version of the I-134 (no notary necessary) has been in use since October 2008 and they are most likely familiar with it by this point. But, if perchance there is an issue, just point them to Page 1 of the I-134 instructions: QUOTE (Note: Signing Form I-134 is under penalty of perjury under U.S. law).

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	DS-156 - can I put "None" as an answer????	QUOTE (bond @ Sep 18 2009, 07:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a question regarding DS-156. I am not sure if I can put in "None" or "N/A" for some questions. Question 8: Other Surnames Used. Question 9: Other First and Middle Names Used. Question 14: National Identification Number On the bottom is the following advice: "When "None" or "NA" are entered into any of the following the fields: "Other Surnames Used", "Other First and Middle Names Used", and "National Identification Number", the text will be removed by the EVAF software from the data in the 2D barcode. If the applicant's name actually is None or NA the post must enter the name manually into NIV or RDS. The following fields have been removed: - "None" was removed from the 2D barcaide for item 8 (Other Surnames Used) - "None" was removed from the 2D barcaide for item 8 (Other First and Middle Names Used) - "None" was removed from the 2D barcaide for item 8 (National Identification Number) Therefore it should be no problem to answer all questions with "None". Same for Question 18. Spouse's Full Name. I would put "None" since I wasn't married yet. Or did I get it wrong? I am just asking cause I was reading in some of the discussions here that to write "None" in the DS-156 causes problems. I also wanted to know if I have to glue my photo on the form or do I just bring it to the interview? Thanks -Adam If none, write None. If the question does not apply to you, write NA. Leave nothing blank unless specifically instructed to do so by your consulate. As stated in the text quoted above, the software automatically strips out None and NA answers to certain questions when generating the barcode.	Stephen + Elisha	Male	South Korea	2009-09-18 19:51:00
