From Department of State:

Other Immigrant Categories - When an I-134 May be Needed

Do applicants who are applying for an immigrant visa in a visa category that does not require the I-864 Affidavit of Support, such as the diversity immigrant visa, need to meet the public charge provisions of Section 213A of the INA?

Consular officers will review immigrant visa applicants whose visa categories do not require the I-864 under the public charge guidelines in Section 212(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The applicants must show that they will not become a public charge. A consular officer may ask for an Affidavit of Support, Form I-134 and supporting documents. The sponsor will need to show income at 100 percent of the federal poverty guidelines for household size, not the 125 percent required under Section 213A of the INA.

Should K-1 fiancé(e) visa applicants use the I-864 or the I-134?

Since fiancé(e)s are nonimmigrant visa applicants, they should use the I-134. They will need to submit an I-864 to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) when they adjust status to conditional immigrant in the United States after they are married.

You need the I134 for K1 visa. The I864 is when you'll be already married for apply for AOS.

Slightly off-topic, but related to the I-134: I keep seeing that "all 3 copies" of the I-134 have to be notarized, but my I-134 does not have three copies. It is two pages.

Is this saying that I should make 3 copies of the I-134 and notarize them? What are the other two copies for? ( I can see keeping a copy for myself, but that still doesn't explain why 3 copies)

Also, do all the two pages need to be stamped with the notary stamp, or just the 2nd page that shows the signature and the notary public?

Even more, the instructions say to submit evidence "in duplicate". what does that mean?

Thanks

Where does it say 3 copies? Is it in the Peruvian packet3 papers? Generally you just do one and send it to your fiance who takes it with her to the interview. If the Peruvian consulate (the US consulate in Peru) wants three notarized copies, then make three copies and notarize each of them, but I highly doubt they want three copies. Just your signature gets notarized - he is attesting to witnessing your signature, the rest is irrelevant to the notary - he does not attest to your finances just your signature. Entiende? Good Luck

I keep running into threads that say that "I notarized all 3 copies", and so started wondering why 3 copies, when I can't find info any where that says you need 3 copies?

I might be seeing things, but I swear I did see some where talking about 3 copies of the I-134.

The section that needs to be notarized is clear on the form.
