US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134	Line 22 on your tax return, form 1040 If you really want to lock down your proof of income, proved TAX TRANSCRIPTS. they are free, and you can order them from the IRS to be delivered in a couple weeks by snail mail, or within a couple minutes via fax. In fact, most consulates expect to see this, so don't skip it lightly. In order to get them just google "irs tax transcript" right at the top there. If you don't want to do tax transcripts (I don't know why you wouldn't, they are free, easy, and complete), then you need to provide complete copies of your returns, including all schedules and associated W-2s, 1099s, etc. OK thank you very much for that help! I will look the transcripts up today... that's great news. I like the "fast" part. Wow, great information... Thanks a TON!	Crossingfingers71	Male	Philippines	2011-01-12 07:31:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134	I don't see a line 22... on the I 134... I see line 11, but that's it??? Since I'm self employed and make decent money, I don't know how else to prove my income... --Bank letter --Bank statements --W2's ???	Crossingfingers71	Male	Philippines	2011-01-11 19:16:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134	For your household of 5 including you, three children and the intending immigrant, the current 125% of poverty level is $32,237. You'll need to show at least that number on line 22 of your most recent tax return. Line 22 is also the number you indicate as your "current income". Yes, really. If income is sufficient, you may simply leave all asset related questions blank. If you state any assets, you'll need to document them. You'll soon be filing a tax return. I suggest you make sure line 22 shows sufficient income. OK thank you all so much. I'm self employed but my monthly bank deposits, for the last (I'm going to go back) 3 years are quite sufficient to cover 5 people. I'm hoping that the letter from my bank, copies of my bank statements and my tax returns will suffice... Being self-employed, I don't really have an "employer", though I am solely contracted to one company. I truly appreciate the help! Will	Crossingfingers71	Male	Philippines	2011-01-10 16:21:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134	Hello all, I want to first thank everyone, especially the administrators, for this site. Second, although I've read all of the data on the I-134, I am still at a loss as to what the requirements are for my income. I will be sponsoring my fiance' who is in the Philippines. I make good money, but I'm self employed and really have no assets or savings... I think that I make plenty, but I am concerned that they will see that I'm not good at saving money and will refuse us. I can easily provide my monthly bank deposits, but won't have much else to show... Any thoughts from the group? I'm not sure what the poverty level is right now, but I think I could easily support 4 or 5 people, if I had to. I have 3 children as dependents at the present time. Also, should I get a life insurance policy with her name on it? I was thinking of doing that anyway. Thanks for the advice!	Crossingfingers71	Male	Philippines	2011-01-09 11:09:00
Philippines	Important Announcement for Manila k1 beneficiaries	The Embassy call center does not charge $18 any longer to call them in order to book an interview appointment. Since December 1, 2010, the Embassy is using a new call center contractor. Now there is no charge to call and book an interview appointment. Also beginning December 1, 2010, you have the option of booking an interview appointment online. There is no charge for that either. Good luck with your visa journey! Thanks! Now I understand...

Philippines	Important Announcement for Manila k1 beneficiaries	I recently read here on VJ that one guy used his $18 PIN twelve times. We are about to embark on this part of the process... what is the $18 PIN? Thanks, Will	Crossingfingers71	Male	Philippines	2011-01-09 11:23:00
