thank you

For a K-1, you only need the I-134, and if you use the new form, you do not need it notarized.

The I-864 is for when you attempt to AOS.

Moved to US Embassy and Consulate forum as post concerns I-134 handled at consulate stage.

[YuAndDan 153]

I-134 is used at the K-Visa interview and no longer needs notarization.

I-864 is used for green-cards either when adjusting status from a NON-Immigrant (K-Visa) or from an immigrant (CR-1 or IR-1 Visa). I-864 has not needed to be notarized for about 4 years now.

Read the directions with the forms.

http://www.visajourney.com/news/2009/02/24...ary-not-needed/

Where to File :

You must sign Form I-134 in your full name. (Note: Signing Form I-135 is under penalty of perjury under U.S. law). For this reason, it is not necessary to sign Form I-134 before a notary, nor to have your signature notarize after you sign it.

oh im using i864 for co sponsorship

Co sponsor will also fill out an I-134, NOT I-864 for a NON-Immigrant K-Visa.

I-134 is for NON-Immigrants. (K-Visas)

I-864 is for Immigrants (Green-cards and IR-1 CR-1 visas)

No if you are ingaged to be married to an non american citizen , you have to file the I-134 not the I-864 . Like everyone is telling you , i-864 is for you being married to someone from another country , and the I-134 is only to be filed for a non family based visa . Which a fiancee of an american citizen is not legally your family yet . Not untill you are married , then that person you marry becomes your family due to marriage . If you file the wrong affidavit you will be denied your visa , and you will not be able to get one . You have to file the I-134 do not file the I-864 , lawyers are stupid and all the care about is money . And if they can tell you something that is wrong , then you have problems they know you will come back to them . Thats how lawyers make money . If you dont listen to what iam telling you , then its your own fault . I have gone through allready this in our visa , Co-sponsor use the same i-134 you just print out another copy of the I-134 , and you answer the I-134 as a co-sponsor of your fiancee . And you allso fill out 1 I-134 , as the main sponsor for your fiancee . And send both of those I-134 to your fiancee , so she can take it too the Usembassy at the time of your visa interview .

Oh okay Man im so confused, what is the difference between I-864 and I-864 EZ?

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Lovica -- please forget all about the I-864 and the I-864EZ for the moment. As everyone has advised you, you do NOT need to use one of these forms right now. I am hesitant even to explain what the difference is between the two forms of the I-864 lest you use one anyway despite our advice.

In a nutshell, the following documents need to be completed for sponsorship purposes for a K1:

1) I-134 for main sponsor (you)

2) I-134 for joint sponsor (other person)

Neither 1) nor 2) needs to be notarised.

That's it for right now.

Yep i agree with all this. Do as AaronM says, lawyers are full of it mostly and the directions here are spot on.

I-864, I-864A and I-864EZ are ALL used only for GREEN-CARDS, either through Adjustment of status or for IMMIGRANT visas (IR- CR- visas)

I-864EZ is a simplified version of I-864, it is used when Petitioner/Spouse/Sponsor (IS NOT using a joint sponsor, IS NOT using assets, and IS ONLY sponsoring ONE Immigrant) I-864EZ is NOT used by a JOINT-Sponsor.

If your lawyer gave you this form for a K-Visa you should seriously question the lawyer's competence.

The old I-134 needed to be notarized, the new one does not. The I-864 does not need to be notarized. Update your attorney. I bet you paid him enough that you think he ought to pay attention, yes? Maybe suggest he join VJ and scavenge the forums for what to do.
