Please point out in the I-864 instructions where it says it can be used for a K visa.

Provide an I-134. The $131 fee is the visa fee and has nothing to do directly with any affidavit of support.

I did not use the 864, I used the 131 for the I-130 and I-129F.

i know , i sent the embassy an email regarding the issue and they emailed me the documents required for the k3 visa ,including a fee of 100$ so i assume the embassy staff just sent me their old papers because the fees are no 131 $,the lawyer insists

instead of Form I-864.

The U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident who filed aForm I-130 for a family member, Form I-129F for afiance(e), or Form I-600 or I-600A for an orphan.

Hey,

I went for the I134, and it was accepted, you should do the same.

Don't get confused, it's simple, just go for the I134.

That direction is under "Who completes and signs...?" You must first look at "Who Needs This Form?" The K3 petitioner is on the list of people who would complete and sign the form but in behalf of the beneficiary adjusting status, not in behalf of the beneficiary applying for a K3 visa. You'll use the I-864 when she adjusts status.

For the visa, use the I-134. Don't give that attorney more money.

For the family and certain employment based immigration require the I-864 (affidavit of Support), which is legally binding. All other cases use the I-134 Affidavit of Support.

NVC not accepting I-134 for immigrant visa processing, only accepts the I-864 form.

I-134: for K non-immigrant visa (mostly K-1)

I-864: for IR/CR1 immigrant visa

All depends which form the Embassy in your Beneficiaries country requires.

[KHPerfectMatch 1]

Are you using an American lawyer in Egypt? Or is your wife using an American lawyer in the USA? Either way, I'd fire him.... Ya Salaam! Don't pay anyone who tells you they know more about the process than the Embassy does..

My husband just came here from Egypt in October. I did an I134 for the K1 visa, and an I 864 here when we did the adjustment of status here in the USA after we got married here. You are correct that the Embassy in Cairo sends outdated documents. It makes no sense, it's confusing, and it is downright rotten of them. However if you don't give them what they want, in this case the I134 they won't give you what you want... THE VISA... so cooperate with them and if you really want to cause a stir, (and spend more $$$) have your attorney contact them and they can argue about which form is right and guess who will win???? THE EMBASSY!!!! And more time will have gone by for what???

However, if you really wanted to, you could have your wife complete BOTH forms and you could submit BOTH forms and if you need to do the I864 once you get here, you'll already have all the information!

Good luck to you and your wife!

Yes, you may send your spouse both forms. Why not just tell the lawyer to um, "Go Spit!" He's wrong. Don't give him any more money.

i contacted the embassy and they said they need I-134 , he doesn't need any money ,I used this lawyer ,he is in the States,and he has good reviews and he is very reliable in the association , easier to submit both.

the co-sponsor is my father in law in way and he doesn't mind it

We have a saying here in the USA... "You get what you pay for"... if you are not paying this lawyer, then you got what you paid for... NOTHING... Since when do lawyers in the USA accept clients needing Immigration Papers for FREE??? Good reviews? Reliable in the association? Amazing...

I swear I'm going to set up a paralegal business in Egypt... helping people submit Visa Applications... I bet I'd either be rich, or to stark raving mad...

my co-sponsor is retired but in the I134 there is nothing that mentions it , it ony states employed and self employed ones,

also there is the last part that asks if you intend to make specific contribuitions o support the beneficiary??

what should i say

what should i say

the lawyer already charged me his money when he submitted the petitions ,

you need to read it well , i said he doesnt need money not i didn't pay money ,why is he a lawyer if he is for free?

when you use a lawyer it means you pay him
