Practice Notes

• I-134 is generally for nonimmigrant/K/parole contexts; confirm whether I-864 is required instead.
• Use IRS tax transcript over returns when possible; explain any non-filing with IRS verification.
• If using assets, show ownership, value, and liquidity.
• Keep copies; align figures with any DS-160/DS-260 entries.
