Affidavit of Support

[twitchy 2]

I filled out and sent the I-134 to my fiance, with the required documentation. I meet the income threshold with no issues.

Do I still need to send the I 864 and tax returns also?

Thanks for any help!

Read the directions. Specifically, read the section about what to send your fiance after NOA2

I-864 is for when you adjust status.

If I felt the directions were clear, I would not have posted this question.

The I-134 is used for the K1 process - Affidavit of support.

The I-864 is used when you file for Adjustment of status, that is after your fiancee is here in the USA and has become your wife.

Good Luck

I'm sorry.

Where does it say anything about I-864 being sent to your fiancé that you were unclear about?

I just looked at the directions that I gave you a link to and I don't see it anywhere.

Sorry, maybe I missed something, but the link to the directions (forum's step-by-step K-1 visa guide) conveniently provided to you by Que Saudade mention only the I-134 for K-1. That is the form I submitted two months ago for our visa interview in China, and is quite likely the form Que Saudade submitted in Brazil. Now, if you are talking about the AOS process after your beneficiary's immigration to USA, then you would likely use the I-864.

Good luck on your visa journey.

Since the I-864 is on the checklist for Montreal for fiance applicants, perhaps you could post your question in the Canada forum and someone from Canada will let you know if it was in fact needed for Montreal.

Best of luck in your journey!

Thank you for pointing out this inconsistency.

To the OP, I now see why you would be confused.

As Hikergirl suggested, maybe someone that has gone though K1 process in Canada can indeed clear up this confusion for you.

Good luck with your journey.

Very good point. I sometimes forget that things run a little different at each of the interviewing embassies/consulates. I know that there are certain quirks about interviewing at the Guangzhou, China embassy, that only apply there....Go figure... hikergirl has the best advice for Canadian K-1 applicants.

Good luck on your visa journey.
