Julie and everyone please help. I-134 Question for Mumbai

[vpatel]

Hey Everyone,
I have a simple question. For I-134 Affadavit of Support. My father is self-employeed. And on the I-134 Application it says if you are self employed provide last tax return. Now since my father and my mom who is also self-employed and also my mother is working for an employeer and both parents are co-sponsors for me since I am primary sponsor for my fiance. But my questions is does my dad need to give three year tax return on his business or is one year enough. I mean I have three year tax return for me and since my mom is a co-sponsor she has given me three year tax return with her w-2 and my dad has given me his one year tax return from the business. But I wanted to know should I send three year tax return inseatd of one year or current tax return for self-employment. The interview for my fiance will be in Mumbai. Please reply.
Thanks,
Vpatel

All co-sponsors should provide three (3) years of federal tax returns. Better to have too many documents than too few.

My thoughts exactly.

thank you all
Now one more thing. Since I do nto make much money. The Embassy people will look at my co-sponsors for the rest of the money support that I can not support. So to given an example. If the house hold income on the poverty line is $30,500 and person A) makes 9,000 and then the rest of the 21,500 will be looked upon by the other 2 co-sponsors B & C. If I am right please tell me.
Thanks,

0If you read the poverty guidelines, you will note that if a co-sponser is used their income/assets must equal 5 times the poverty guidelines for # of family members. So if your household poverty guideline is $30,500 multiply by x 5 = $152,500 is needed to qualify

Ok
Thanks Julie. Just one more thing. I did a round estimation but I am not sure if I am right. But since my income is less then 10K and I am guessing my folks have an income of about 35K so I guess that will be enough for support? What do u think Julie? Please send me the link to the poverty page that talkes about this "5 times the Poverty guideline."
Thanks,
Vpatel
P.S. I am taking number guesses. I am trying to be as correct as I can. I have to look over the papers I have ready to see what the real numbers might be.
