	Below is a summary of the comment. For the full comment, see attached letter at this link USCIS-2006-0072-0093. AILA believes a more consistent approach, using total income to determine ability of the declarant to support themself or the beneficiary of a Form I-134, is more appropriate inasmuch as adjustments should not count against income level for Form I-134 purposes, particularly if the form does not provide for evidence of current year income and is only based upon the prior year's tax return as evidence of “current” income.	Response: USCIS will not make changes to the information collection based on this comment. The purpose of the Form I-134 is to show a person has sufficient income or financial resources to support the beneficiary. By providing the adjusted gross income as provided on a Federal tax return, the individual agreeing to support the beneficiary is providing information about the actual available income that may be used for that support. Form I-134 also allows an individual agreeing to financially support the beneficiary to provide information on the cash or assets available if necessary.
