"Affidavit of Support"

[pak 0]

Hello everyone. I am totally confused. My fiancee received packet 3 and I always thought that for fiancee visa I need to file I-134 form, but her papers mention I-864 forms all over the place. Which one should I file?! Thank you!

P.S. Regardless of which form I need to file, I think I'll need statement from the bank. Is that something banks deal with regularly or I'll have to explain 5 times to different supervisors? What kind of statement should it be? From what I understood, it should be a statement saying when the account was opened, how much was deposited this year, and the current balance. The funny thing is, for few days there was a lot of money deposited there because I was buying a house... and the current balance will look tiny

I had in my packet 4 asking me for the I-134 and in the packet 4 downloaded from the web page the I-864. when i called the consulate they told me to take both with me. But when I was at the interview they clarified that the I-134 is for the K1 visa interview and the I-864 for the adjustment of status.

(Watch out the expiration date of the I-134, mine was expired but they did not care since there wasnt any other updated)

Asking for that letter is not a big problem, but my fiance had to deal with a lot of waiting from his bank. He couldnt do it over the phone, he faxed them a letter.

Hope it helps.

Yes, thank you, actually it helps a lot! It means that for now I only need I-134. As you mentioned, the latest form which I could find expires on 04/30/2007 - I surely hope they don't complain about that! Unless someone knows where the latest version can be obtained?

The bank statement won't be easy to obtain from what I understand. I walked into couple of branches and all of them sent me to "customer service, they have some special department which generates such statements". Ugh.

And last, but not least. I noticed that I-134 suppose to be "sworn to or affirmed before an officer of US Citizenship and Immigration Serivces (USCIS)" - where do I find one? Thanks!

I think it says an offical public notary works, too.
