Hello,

the DV lottery winner has to choose between an affidavit of support and, to have a minimum of money required. What are the approximately minimum money required?

Thanks
 
Evidence of Support : It can be any combination of the following three :

_ Affidavit of Support : form I134 filled by a US Citizen ( USC ) or a Legal Permanent Resident ( LPR = GC holder )

_ Job offer in the US : it is better to obtain a job offer on the company's letterhead and have it notarized.

_ Own funds ( bank accounts, assets....): see poverty guidelines for an idea of the amount. ( bank statement)

For the Evidence of Support, you can provide any combination of the 3, which means you can provide one ( any one ) of the mentioned documents, two ( any two ), or the three of them.
Remember that you better be safe than sorry. Bring as much as you can.
So, the I134 alone is good. Still, it would be better if you could show your own funds.

Also, education and english skills play a role as it will help in finding a job.
The immigration officer determines your potential to become public charge. So the more proofs you provide that you won't become one, the better for you.
 
Hi Catseyes,

I have 2 questions...

1. I got one I-134 for myself and my husband and daughter are listed on the same I-134 on item 3. Is this ok OR we need separate I-134's ?

2. My relative is self-employed hence his income is not on W-2. He has to declare his income and total income for last year is only 37806. Also - he has other deposits etc listed on I-134. So is the poverty guideline checked as per income on W-2 or 1040 or the I-134?

Thanks
Abdul
