From the FAQ page: http://www.visajourney.com/faq/k3k4visa-outline.html

Briefly, the K3/K4 process is as follows:

* A. The US Citizen files an I-130 petition for the foreign spouse.

* B. USCIS (INS) issues a receipt (I-797) acknowledging filing of the I-130 petition.

* C. The US Citizen files an I-129F petition, using the I-797 receipt as "proof of filing an immigrant petition". All children of the foreign spouse will be listed on this petition. The I-129F is sent to a special Service Center in Chicago. At this point, the "track" of the K3/K4 process becomes similar to the current processing for K1/K2 fiance(e) visa.

* D. When the petition is approved, it is sent to the NVC for processing and then the appropriate Consulate is notified and processing for the K3/K4 non-immigrant visa is begun, including medical, police check, I-134 affidavit of support, and Consular interview. The fee will be the same as the current K1 fiance(e) visa.

* E. The K3 visa is issued to the spouse, the K4 to the minor children, they go to the United States.

Note at step D is when the affidavit of support will be needed. It will be brought to the Visa interview at the consulate by the beneficiary.

Hello missinglove,

You will need the affidavit of Support the day on your interview the consul would ask to submit that to you. My husband gave to me the Affidavit of Support one week before my interview because my husaband wanted to get freshly notarized it.

((D.
