Good news for Moroccans

[mandixon 9]

hello friends,

Casablanca consulate decided to skip the affidavit of support.now all Moroccans applying for K1 won't be required to show any documents of financial support from their American petitioners.it's a such a helpful move for all those who have petitioners with financial difficulties.We hope all consulates across the world cross that out.

Petitioners with financial difficulties will still have to find some way to sign the I-864 when their SO comes to the US, they get married and apply for an adjustment of status. So, delaying the inevitable *shrugs*

Where and how did you find out this information. Do you have a link please

The previous poster is correct, you're going to have to sponsor them at some point anyway. I do see advantages to this though. 1) you're not responsible for them if they come over here and skip town as soon as the plane lands (not that any of our fiances would do that ) 2) in the event that the USC needs help from their family and the family member denies that help (co-cponsoring) because they don't know the fiance, this gives them 90 days to come over and meet the family and hopefully earn their trust enough to co-sponsor. 3) not as much to collect for the initial interview

I've read a post from another member on here that the embassy in Tunis does not require this form for K-1 either and I've called and confirmed this myself. I'm sure other embassies must have this same policy because I've also seen many posts saying they had it for the interview but weren't asked for it.

This topic got moved while I was replying I think it could have stayed in K-1 since it doesn't really affect anyone who's getting any other type of visa.

mandixon,

They can skip the I-134 - it's optional at the consular officer's discretion anyway - but the INA requires the consular officer to somehow determine that the visa applicant will not become a public charge after they enter the USA.

I suspect that either you or your source are mis-understanding something.

Anectdotal evidence coming out of K1 interviews in Casablanca over the past few months would suggest that the OP is correct. Casablanca is no longer looking at I-134's. Packet 3 lists have even been sent with the I-134 crossed out by the consulate.

jenn,

I don't question that - I frequently post, as I have in this thread, that I-134 is an option not a requirement.

I was thinking it was something good like investigation beucase of how they treat people, this was funny.
