More than one I-134??

[Yodrak 7]

Mekky,

One of the requirements for any visa is to show that the applicant will not become a public charge while in the USA, whether they are coming for a 2-week holiday, a year of study, or to marry and immigrate. The requirements for immigration are a bit different, and you are correct that I-864 comes into play at that time.

What you found on the embassy web site is consistent with and confirms what I've been telling you. I-134 is not required because sometimes it serves no useful purpose and isn't needed, but in cases where it does serve a purpose it is requested. I-134 is useful in most, but not necessarily all, K1 situations. Why should it be required when it's not needed? (If your fiancee is independently wealthy, as a few people are, you probably won't be asked to provide an I-134 or any other financial information - she doesn't need a sponsor. If she's not independently wealthy, she will need a sponsor and you should be prepared with a financial information package including an I-134.)

Yes, Yes Yordak thank you but I thought that the K-1 was only to let the person into the US for marrige ONLY. Then after IF you file to adjust your status you must prove that you will not become puplic charge and submit form I-864. So what if my fiancee is only comming to the US for marrige. I guess we would have to prove that to the officer. I found this on the Moscow embassy site.

"Financial documents from the petitioner - a US citizen: please note, that Affidavit of Support (form I-134) is not required, but may be requested."

I e-mailed them and their reply was this "We recommend to provide it"

I guess my point om this issue is Yordak that they should just state that it is required. This whole process is a big enough pain as it is. I have never worked so hard for a women in my life!! HA ha, It will be all worth it in the end. Thanks again for your input Yordak maybe you can help again in the future.
