Affidavit of Support Inquiry

[In Gods Hands 0]

Hi.. i was just looking into what form I need to file and all documents I need to send my husband now that petition is at NVC (Thank you Lord!). So it is the I-864 right? My dad will be co-sponsor and he will fill one out also. He is retired and also receives disability checks. He didn't have to file 2 of last 3 years. I was told he should write letter siting this tax code (something like that). I'm really not too clear on that. What kind of proof should I/we include to show this income?

Lets see.. I should also include: paystubs, IRS transcripts, letter from employer (with company letterhead)

Is there a form needed to be filled out for any of this besides I-864?

What else?

I'm gathering everything I can together that I think he will need for interview and wanting to send it all DHL one time since it costs so much no matter if its 1 or 5 pounds.

I hope you don't mind me jumping on this bandwagon with my questions also.

thanks- gwen

Correction------ Friend just PMd me.. its I-134 for K-3 (I also read above with other post..sorry I didn't read all earlier) also I-864 is for CR1/IR1 (and used for K-3 when applying later for AOS..I think).. but should check with Foreign Embassy website for specific one they require.

Hi Guys,

You will need the affidavit of support on the "interview" stage of the process. Correct me if i am wrong, but what will happen is that your approved petition forms (I-129F and I-130) will be forwarded to NVC. Once the NVC has it, they will do some processing and after that it will be forwarded to the beneficiaries' Embassy. Once the Embassy has it, they will send you a packet which you will need to fill up and submit ASAP so that you can be scheduled for your interview. This packet contains all the necessary information and requirements you need for the interview...which includes the Affidavit of Support. The petitioner will need to fill up and send it to you before your interview. You'll only need the Affidavit Of Support as soon as you have your interview. However, this needs to be filled up ASAP as this requires the petitioner to provide evidence (ITR's, pay stubs, certification from employer, bank accounts, ownership of property) which should be done ahead of time. Take note that this also needs to get notarized.

As for which form to use for Affidavit of Support, i have read in the forums here that you should contact your Embassy and ask them which form they use...

Hope this helps...

Correction, there is no packet three in the Philippines that needs to be turned in for interview scheduling. You will receive packet IV and all documents will be taken to the interview. The interview will be scheduled after the petition is forwarded to the Manila Embassy (USEM). Interview dates can be checked on the Embassy website under IV Interview link on the immigrant visa page.

Other than that one correction you had a great description MariEnMichelle

Thanks for the clarification edp333!
