Affidavit of Support

[Kate and Joseph 1]

We just received packet 3.5 from the Haitian embassy. It had a few items listed that we need to get back to the embassy before they schedule the interview (confirmation page of the DS-160, original and copy of birth certificate, copy of his passport). Nowhere do they mention anything about providing the Affidavit of Support. Everywhere I'm reading it seems other people have been required to have this at the embassy interview. We have been working with an immigration lawyer and she said that if they aren't asking for it yet then we do not do it yet. I just don't want to go into the interview without if it is usually required at that point. Is it possible that the embassy overlooked it on the list of items they asked us to mail back to them? Anyone have thoughts on this? Thanks!

At first I assumed that our packet 3 didnt ask for it either, but it actually asked for it in a different way. Best advice I can give is to either email or call your embassy and ask them. They will be able to give you the most secure answer.

We sent back our packet last week and absolutely included the affidavit as well as additional proof of ongoing relationship, etc. It wasn't specifically asked for but when he went to drop it off to Haiti Messager they checked for it before they forwarded the packet. I would include it now so as to not delay your case via AP at time of interview. They will need time to review that is what I'm thinking is all. Not sure if AP would happen or not for this, but my motto is better safe than sorry and be your own best advocate. I wouldn't take the advice of your attorney, but that's just me. ;-) Best of luck!!

Exactly!

Send in everything now via Haiti Messenger. They will mark your file as incomplete and delay your interview if you don't send the Affidavit of Support with the Supporting Documents. Also, any other evidence you want to send in, include them in the file. If you want a guideline, see this updated cover letter I created based on the new guidelines from the Embassy in Haiti.

Thank you all for your advice. I really appreciate the support. We have the attorney mainly because we also have to apply for a waiver but sometimes i feel i have had to get "second opinions" and push the lawyer a little bit according in order to get things done specific for Haiti. I had recently sent all the info for the Affidavit of Support to our lawyer and just emailed her to see if they will complete it now. So you sent the Affidavit and supporting documents in the packet back to the embassy? My problem with that is all of that is here in the US with me, how do I get all that to him in Haiti? Should I scan/email everything for him to print?

Yes, you can scan everything (except the forms that require original signatures) and send it to him. He can then print and take the complete package to Haiti Messager.
