What documents do I need to send with the I-134 Affidavit of Support?

[Pelmeni 39]

I'm new here so I'm not sure what I'm doing.  I sent the K-1 visa application back in February and have received a NO1 and am waiting for the NOA2.  I just found out I have to send him an Affidavit of Support and the documents with it vary from consulate/country.  I'm not sure what to send with it.  I'm also not sure what else I should be doing in the meantime.  I don't want to miss anything or delay his arrival. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.  I could use a little direction.  Thanks so much.  

Also, does he need a copy of the application and everything I sent with it?  I would have to print it all of again since I sent in the originals.

Thanks.

Have you looked at the Moscow Embassy site?  If not it might be a good idea

 

Financial documents from a US citizen petitioner:

• Copy of original, signed tax returns for the last year (both W-2 and 1040). If copies of tax returns are unavailable, provide transcripts from the IRS.
• Form I-134 (Affidavit of Support)
• Bank statements
• Employment letter

I don't mean to sound rude of whatever but the Petition to Recognize Foreign Alien or Spouse instructions is quite clear on what they need from you. They are as follows:

• Basic information about you and your fiancée/spouse and applicable childern
• Birth Certificates, passport biometrics
• Letter of Intent with signed witness
• Letter of how you met that has been signed and dated
• Evidence of a real relationship
• Evidence of employment
• Avadavat of Support

It's very straight forward, and clear. I filed and it was approved with no problems. You have to read the instructions or it'll get you every time.

The OP is beyond the petition stage and is awaiting approval and wants to prepare for the interview.  I don't know where the above came from because it includes things not needed for the interview and is missing items that are required.  The following is directly from the Moscow website:

 

Bring your IV Delivery Confirmation page to arrange delivery of your visa documents.

1. Form DS-160 (Electronic Visa Application) should be completed online in English. Print the DS-160 confirmation page and bring this page to the interview.
2. Travel passport: original and a photocopy of the information page with the photo. The passport should be valid at least 60 days beyond the period of visa validity. Fiancé (e) visas are valid for up to 6 months, corresponding with the expiration date of your medical examination results.
3. Birth certificate: original, photocopy, and English translation, if required.
4. For those previously married: divorce certificate/death certificate(s) for ALL previous spouses, if applicable: original, photocopy, and English translation, if required.
5. Military records, if you served in the military (original, photocopy of all pages that contain records, and English translation, if required.)
6. Applicant (older than 16) is required to submit a police certificate  (original and English translation, if required) issued within the past year in ALL names (including maiden names) as well as ALL dates of birth that they have used.  A Russian police certificate must indicate that the applicant’s name(s) have been checked against the central database of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD). We advise applicants to review the copy of their police certificate to ensure it will not be older than one year on their interview date.  If it will, applicants should acquire new police certificates as soon as possible. If an applicant has lived abroad for more than one year, a police certificate must also be submitted from the country in which he/she lived. For detailed information on how to obtain a police certificate, visit:
   http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country.html
7. Court and Prison Records (original, copy and translation): If you have been convicted of a crime, you must obtain a certified copy of each court record, regardless of the fact that whether you may have benefited subsequently from an amnesty, pardon or other act of clemency.
8. The results of your medical examination will be delivered directly to the Embassy. The medical exam must be conducted by the Embassy’s panel physician.
9. TWO COLOR NON-GLOSSY FULL-FACE PHOTOS(50×50 mm) for the visa. The eye level should be between 28mm and 35mm from the bottom. Do not wear hats or glasses when taking the picture. Please visit https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/photos/photo-page.html for more details. (Five additional pictures will be required for the medical examination.)
10. Evidence of your relationship with the petitioner, such as photographs, letters, e-mails, etc.
11. Application fee. See www.ustraveldocs.com/ru/. For a list of current visa fees, visit http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/fees-visa-services.html.
12. Financial documents from a US citizen petitioner:
    • Copy of original, signed tax returns for the last year (both W-2 and 1040). If copies of tax returns are unavailable, provide transcripts from the IRS.
    • Form I-134 (Affidavit of Support)
    • Bank statements
    • Employment letter

Good idea.  I will do that. You've been very helpful.

Every country is different what I quoted came from Rabat's webpage and the I-129 instructions. All of that isn't required. The person being interviewed should have heir DS-160, passport, evidence of relationship, and medical records. That's what my wife brought, and she brought a copy of the entire petition. And yes, the letter of intent and statement of how we met were required.
