Good luck Carl and congratulations. I remember being in that same

 

position back in February 2007 and here I am with my lao po and we

 

have the K1 visa. I would start gathering all the documents needed for

 

the P3 and making sure you have all the necessary documents.

 

 

Primarily, the I-134 which must be notarized but it should be done

 

close the interview date. The income taxes for 2004,2005,2006 along

 

with copies of W-2's, the employment letter from Human resources

 

(although it is not a document required to be notarized if your cool

 

with your boss, then he wouldn't mind to do it , you should do that) If

 

not then , it's not a problem since the letter he/she will provide all the

 

informatiom you need. Other than that, keep documenting all the info

 

you've gathered ever since you've met your lao po. Such as the plane

 

tickets, receipts, photos, emails, chat logs (you don't need a stack),

 

engagement ring receipt, family photos, first time you said you love

 

her( lol, maybe I'm exaggerating but that's what we did) , family

 

personal biographical information (make sure it's accurate) . Ahh don't

 

forget to name your last employers as accurate as possible as it will

 

reflect your income tax informaton on the G-325. I'm not sure whether

 

you've submitted that but make sure it's accurate. Keep track of

 

lettes sent and received from each other. Well , I'm sure that's a lot

 

of information but hopefully it will help you as we didn't know about all

 

this when first started but my lao po managed to find this website and

 

it was very helpful. Everyone is really nice and if your lao po has QQ

 

She should add the K1 chat group qq# (34257264). They have really helped us so

 

much!!! . Ah two more important details, that I-134 should be printed

 

on one paper (front side and back side) notarized. Check the poverty

 

line to make sure that your income exceeds the poverty line.

 

(http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864P.pdf)

 

If you have any dependants claimed on your return... or if your

 

household income is below the poverty line then you would have to

 

get a Co-sponsor. Best of luck!!

That's the first I've heard of I-134 print out on one page front and back? Mine is not, second page notarized and quite honestly, that is how blossoms.com sent it to me. Must I scramble to redo and re-notarize?

Not a problem, ours was printed on 2 pages also.

 

About the I-134: The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

 

In our case this what the I-134 included.

  • I-134 signed and notarized.
     
  • SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html
     
  • Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)
     
  • Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.
     
  • Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.

My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

 

If your income exceeds 125% of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.

Sorry michael, didn't mean to worry you there.

When I was first preparing the I-134, I was very skeptical since I had read some previous posts regarding the I-134 (see past thread from http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8834) One member had noted that

"When you print the I134, print it on both sides of the same page. This is so that it is one single document with 1 notary seal instead of 2 pages of a document with 1 seal for both pages or 2 seals on 2 seperate pages. 1 page with 1 seal avoids any ambiguity. Also, do not make any changes or corrections after it has been sealed, as this effectively voids the seal !" )

Although it is not required to print on one paper, it not only reduces the amount of trees cut down! :lol: but it's a helpful way of avoiding ambiguity of changes to the document since it will be signed in front of the Notary public. Of course , maybe I am reading ahead and worrying way too much but it sort made me think. Yet, there is no problem printing it on 2 separate papers.
