I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with this question.

What is the difference between the forms I-864 and the I-134?

At what part in the Immigration process do these forms come in?

Thanks!

Not true.

They are both Affidavits of Support. Some Embassies/Consulates require one or the other for K1 visa.... it's up to them. The I-864 is used also for Adjustment of Status.

8-30-05 Met David at a restaurant in Germany

3-28-06 David 'officially' proposed

4-26-06 I-129F mailed

9-25-06 Interview: APPROVED!

10-16-06 Flt to US, POE Detroit

11-5-06 Married

7-2-07 Green card received

9-12-08 Filed for divorce

12-5-08 Court hearing - divorce final

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Just follow the instructions for each type of visa. For the "K" type they require the I-134 unless specified otherwise.

For the full Immigrant Visa - "IV" - CR-1/IR-1 the requirement is for the I-864 unless specified otherwise.

Up until fairly recently (don't know exactly when) the I-134 was the ONLY Affidavit used.

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with this question.

What is the difference between the forms I-864 and the I-134?

At what part in the Immigration process do these forms come in?

Thanks!

walls1010 and JenT,

I-134 is used for non-immigrant visas, including the K visas.

I-864 is exclusively for immigration - immigrant visas and adjustement of status. It cannot be used for the K visas.

Did the US embassy in Manila have you use a I-864 for a K3 in your visa process to make such a statement yourself?

12/27/13 mailed application
