When to give in the affidavit?

[wasabisnack 0]

Hi everyone.

I'm a little confused about when we hand in out affidavit of support. Up until recently, I was under the impression you give it in at the interview. Then I read a post saying you mail it in with the forms that come in packet 3. I've also heard of people doing both, to be safe, and/or that it varies from country to country...

Just curious what other people going through the London Embassy did when applying for the K3 visa.

Thanks very much for your help.

Best,

The only form sent back to the embassy is the DS-230.

This table below provides you with an overview of the steps that take place once you have obtained all your documents and have completed the necessary forms.

Step Action

1. Mail the DS-230 Part I Form for each applicant to the Immigrant Visa Unit, 5 Upper Grosvenor Street, London W1A 2JB.
   
2. Assemble all of the documnets required in support of your application and mail the Form DS 2001 and checklist to the Immigrant Visa Unit.
   
3. The Embassy will complete all necessary administrative processing of your immigrant visa application. You may be requested to provide additional information if you have incomplete or are missing documents.
   
4. Approximately one month before your scheduled interview appointment with a consular officer, you will receive an appointment letter containing the date and time of your visa interview along with instructions for obtaining a medical examination.

Also since you are doning a K-3 visa the Affidavit of support is I-134 not I-864. You will use I-864 at Adjustment of status in the states, or if you interview for CR-1/IR-1 visa at the embassy.

The London Embassy website is one of the better ones for info.
