affidavit of support

[visaq123 2]

Hi everyone! 

 

Is it required to bring the form I-864 affidavit of support to the interview for k1 visa? I have heard that it is not asked for, but then required to be sent when doing AOS after marriage in US. Any advice? Thanks!

The K-1 uses the I-134, not I-864, as it is a non-immigrant visa.

 

Yes, you take the I-134 to the interview.

K1 visa interview needs I 134 not I 864

read the guidelines above

 

 

and you should get a notice telling exactly what documents to bring but to be safe,,   plan to have it with you

Joint sponsors are for I-864 only. The I-134 may allow co-sponsors, but not always. It depends on the embassy. 

 

Are you saying your fiancé makes less than 100% of the federal poverty level for his household? That would worry me more than anything else. Does your embassy allow co-sponsors?

I am the one filing for my fiancé. I am a student so my income in right below the requirements. I am just graduating next month and have a job that now meets the requirements but don’t start until a week before our interview and it won’t be solid enough proof. I heard that they don’t require it until the AOS but now i’m worried.

You'll be fine. Can you secure a job offer letter from your new employer which states your position, start date and salary? If so then you should be fine. You're not the first student just graduating and heading into the job market.
