Affidavit of support is required at the time of the interview.

Why is he filing an I-129? thats an immigrant worker petition. He should be filing an I-129F fiance petition.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

The affidavit is required for the interview see the requirements 125% above the poverty line. You will be safe, if not get a co sponsor.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

Yes it is a requirement at the interview stage. Additionaly he should submit at least one year ( 2010 ) tax transcript. I dont think Manila accepts co sponsors for K 1s but he should check with the embassy to find out.

Yes. The Affidavit of Support is required. The US Government wants proper documentation that the petitioner has adequate financial support so you don't end up as a public charge. Providing information about his jobs and salary is not enough. He needs to file the Affidavit of Support.

No Affidavit of Support = denial of visa for failure to submit an Affidavit of Support.

It is not needed for the petition (I-129f). It is needed for the interview.

It is also necessary that you carefully read and understand the instructions for the I-129f before you send it to avoid RFEs

Yes. The Affidavit of Support is required. The US Government wants proper documentation that the petitioner has adequate financial support so you don't end up as a public charge. Providing information about his jobs and salary is not enough. He needs to file the Affidavit of Support.

No Affidavit of Support = denial of visa for failure to submit an Affidavit of Support.

It is not required for the petition. She is asking about the petition.

People need to read the OPs questions. She specifically asked if th affidavit of support is needed with the I-129f ( I hope it is the I-129f and not I-129) petition

The correct answer is NO it is not needed for the petition.
