Fiance visa to expire

SirLancelot,

"most"? Name me one that does.

That aside, I-864 is required for adjustment of status. And yes it does suck if an unwary petitioner 'imports' an unscrupulous beneficiary.

Yikes, that I-864 is VERY dangerous. Given to the wrong beneficiary, s/he could use it to their extreme advantage. Thank god most Consulates don't require the I-1864 for a K1 visa. If they did, an unscrupulous beneficiary could entered the US with an I-864 then decide NOT to marry and over stay their visa and sue the petitioner for financial support. Unless and until the federal government deports the beneficiary, the petitioner would need to support the beneficiary in the US. That would SUCK!

Don't ask me. I'm only familiar with one country--my SO's country--but I have read on here (VJ) that some Consulates only accept I-864 rather than I-134 for K1 visas. In my own case, it will be an I-134 and that's even optional according to the Consulate.

SirLancelot,

In which case you might want to be spreading information only about things that you are familiar with. VJ has a lot of good information. It also has mis-information and this is how it happens.

Correct, I-134 is optional, it's use at the discretion of the consular officer processing the visa application.
