Affradavid Of Support I-864 Question

[Simon&Miriam 0]

Hi, Miriam received her Package today, I have a question about that, she has listed in her packet these forms that need to be filled out, one of them is something I must fill out, its this I-864, I have to get it noterized here and send it to her with my W2 and employment stuff, now does she need this ASAP to send back to them prior to the interview and then they send her a firm interview date or does she take the completed one with her when we meet in Juarez for her medical and interview on the open appointment she had stated on her letter??

NO I-864 is used for green-cards only, either for CR-1 or IR-1 visa, OR when adjusting status in the USA.

You will be filling out an I-134 for a K-Visa. And yes the I-134 needs to be notarized.

NVC should mail you a letter that they sent the case on to the consulate.

One thing about I-134, the directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

In our case this what the I-134 included.

• I-134 signed and notarized.

• SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

• Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)

• Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.

• Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.

My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

If your income exceeds 125% or (100% for military) of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.

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.

Do you have to send the I-134 in to the consulate or just make sure she has it with her with all the tax info for the interview?

Most send the I-134 packet to their fiancee to bring to the interview, but if you are concerned about things like SSN falling into wrong hands, you can contact the consulate and send it to them, reference the case number if you do send it to them.

If her instructions say to send the I-864 instead of I-134, she may have the wrong packet. The devil is in the details and accuracy is paramount.

Check the instructions she received. The instructions for Turkey state that the I-134 and supporting evidence are to be sent in with Packet 3. Depends on the consulate.
