Hello! Hoping someone can help me... I am the petitioner, and my fiance (beneficiary) has told me that i need to fill out an i-864 (affidavit of support) and submit it to the uscis? Is this something I should do now/already have done?? Our case is in transit to the consulate in South Africa.. I thought that in the packet 3 they'll be sending us is where I give all my financial information and such to prove I can support him? Just really confused on what to do...

Typically, for the K1 visa, the Affidavit of Support needed is form I-134, (see link below). You don't mail this form to USCIS. Instead, upon completion, you send it to your beneficiary to be presented to the consular officer during the interview. If, instead, your consulate in South Africa requested form I-864 on Packet 3, then this is a consulate-specific requirement and you must comply accordingly.

Hi Folks - Require your URGENT support !!!

USCIS have sent us the RFE letter on June 8th but my fiance living in NY hasn't received anything yet, it's been 19 days and we are getting worried - It should generally take 5- 7 business days.

Is there anything we can check ? USCIS has mentioned we can ask them for an email copy after 9th July before that they can't do any help.

Has someone gone through from such scenario before?

Thanks in advance!!

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do until you get the RFE in the mail or its duplicate after July 9. Sounds like USPS lost your mail, it has happened before. If you have and idea of what the RFE could be about, you can gather the missing or wrong information now and have it ready for a quick reply after you get the RFE notification letter or email. Usually, an approval comes quick after USCIS receives your response. Hang in there. Edited June 27, 2016 by MandyAlex

After 22 days we got our NVC number! Trying to make sure my fiancé has everything ready to go once we get the interview scheduled...it's so hard as he doesn't have internet. Gettng so nervous as we're finally getting to the end...

Good evening, what is the purpose of calling visa center to obtain your number? To save time and be able to give it to your embassy before they receive it?

Thanks,

I could be wrong (let me know if I am! ) - but I don't think there is actually anything we can do once we get the number. We still have to wait to start the next part of the process until the embassy gets the application. I'm hoping more information will be on their state dept website once it is at the embassy - but right now it is just showing that it is being transferred.

Why I called though was to get some peace of mind knowing it was moving along. Who knows how long until the next step but at least THIS step is finished.
