Dear all,

I am preparing for my London Embassy interview for a K1 Visa. I am confused however by a section on the Checklist that the embassy provides on their website, found here - https://uk.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2015/11/iv_and_k_interview_checklist2014.pdf

It says near the start:

"From November 12, 2014: Applicants are required to submit copies of their documents to NVC and bring the original document to the visa interview. The original Affidavit of Support, Form I-864 is still required by NVC and will be forwarded to the Immigrant Visa Unit with your file and available to the consular officer at the interview."

I do not know if this applies to me or not or what documents are meant to be sent to the NVC, the website says not to send anything to the embassy itself.

Could anyone explain this to me?

Thank you.

That line of information is for I-130 Spousal Visas. You are looking at the right list of documents, but instead of an I-864 you bring the I-134.

As noted on the bottom of the form:

All other applicants, including K-1 (fiancé/e) applicants must show evidence that they are not likely to become a public charge while in the United States. Use of the form I-134 is an efficient way to provide this information to the Consular Officer. Form I-134 is available from the USCIS website: http://www.uscis.gov/i- 134.

Make sure to bring copies for all your originals as well!!!

That is correct. Spousal visas are processed by the NVC. Fiance Visa are not.
