Affidavit of Support

[demiurgician 0]

Hi everyone, I just need some confirmation here...

Everywhere I look on VJ (and I've been looking a lot, for a long time), it says that I need to fill out an I-134 affidavit of support for my fiance. When the I-129f was approved and he received his packet 3 from London, it included the I-864 as the support form needed. Can anyone just confirm for me that this is correct? It's all been filled out, and it feels like it's more for a K3 than a K1 form. So I'm torn between "this doesn't feel right" and "it's the form the embassy sent, so it's the form they want."

Any advice?

Hmm... on the Embassy's own site (on this page) it says:

"An applicant for a fiancé(e) visa is not required to file an affidavit of support, form I-864 at the time he or she applies for a fiancé(e) visa. However, the Immigration and Nationality Act does require the applicant to establish to the satisfaction of the consular officer at the time of the application for a visa, and also to the satisfaction of an officer of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration at the time of application for admission to the United States, that he or she is not likely at any time to become a public charge."

And on this page they say:

"Persons in the U.S. who wish to furnish sponsorship of a fiancee or Kii visa applicant in the form of an affidavit of support should use form I-134 which is available from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services"

I'd think (hope) you can safely say they've included it in error, rather than because they've suddenly decided to change the rules just for you (which would be a bit harsh!)

They included an I-864 with my packet too, howver I filled out none because I didn't think you had to untill AOS however when I got there he made me send in an I-134

You need the I-134 for the interview in London
