Affidavit of Support

Hi all,
I have a question about Affidavit of support form. I received a interview letter with a request of Affidavit of support (1 864). I am now confused if that should be I 134 Or I 864. Can anybody please advise which one should I fill out.

i-134

i-134

But in the interview letter I got clearly states to bring Affidavit of support (I 864). I do not want to take a risk and from what I understand I 864 is for family based or employment based green card. Really very confused.

Do you work and make enough money to be your own sponsor?
If yes, you will need I-684. ( even in this case an extra I-134 won't hurt)

If you do not make enough money and someone else is sponsoring you, you will need I-134

It's I-864, not I-134. In most cases, the officer does not ask for it, but it's safe to have it handy.

Actually I work and I am in H1B right now. But the primary applicant is my Husband who is in H4 status. So I guess I cannot be a sponsor. While filing I-485, we sent my tax papers and few paystubs, thats why they are asking for I-864 for affidavit.

Should I now go ahead and fill I 134 because somebody else is sponsoring us.

Hi aosF1,
Did they request I 134 or I864 in your case?

Hi aosF1,
Did they request I 134 or I864 in your case?

We sent a copy of the I-134 with I-485 package. They didn't request any financial documents on the interview letter.
We took it with us anyway but they didn't ask for it.

I guess I did a bad move sending my financial docs w/I485. Anyways Thank you much for your responses and wish you a very good luck for your future with this new status.

NO i-864 for DV winners!

It's I-864, not I-134. In most cases, the officer does not ask for it, but it's safe to have it handy.

Do not get confused nor confuse others with incorrect info.!

NO i-864 is need for ANY DV winner, AoS or CP.
If at all it will be i-134.

Do not get confused by those letters from FO s, they are just default list sent to ppl.
They are supposed to strike out what is not reqd. in the list, but seldom done!

If income above 125% poverty level (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf) then no need of any i-134 either.
Even if you've prepared one, just do not give it if not asked at the intvw. (DO NOT send it with i-485)

Best!

Worried

I'm starting to get really worried now. Its been almost 3 weeks since I've received my I-797 forms and still no letter for a biometrics appointment. The priority date on the I-797 is June 14th.

Should I give USCIS a call? After looking at most of your signatures it doesn't look like any of had to endure this long of a wait for the biometrics appointment letter.

Is there anything I can do at this point besides waiting?

Thanks you guys!

I mentioned to you in a previous post that my biometrics appointment letter came only 4 weeks after receiving the acceptance letter, so sometimes it does take a while until you get an appointment. USCIS will not be able to help you as long as it has not been 30 days yet from the time your application was accepted, but you can try calling anyways if you want.

Thanks for the reply!

On my NOA/I-797 it says the application was received on June 14. I guess I could give them a call tomorrow and see if they can let me know what's happening.

Hi dudes,

I was excited to see a USCIS envelope in my mailbox today. But it was just a notification that they received my request for address change. Hope the interview letter will come soon after!

NuvF,

Had the following question. If I am on an h-1(primary applicant) should I provide pays tubs and employment letter with my i-485 or should I just provide the I-134?

Also in reading I-134 instructions it mentions each alien should provide a copy of I-134. Do I need to complete one for both me and wife(applying with me).

Hope, sustandi

guys we got our cards in the mail yesterday. it's so unbelievable and exciting that how quick all happened. we learned that we are selected on july 15 2011, and after two weeks we actually realized that we had to wait till atl least may june to apply... then we were super duper sad thinking that we would never get the card on time..... then luckily dv numbers went really fast this year, and our process started on april 16 and received the card on july 12th!

you friends helped us save a minimum of 2000$ over this journey, with your guys' help we didnt hire a lawyer and saved that 2000$ to ourselves. I really thank you all of you and wish all the other friends best of luck!

I hope someday we'll meet somewhere and I promise I'll buy you guys a lunch or a dinner as a thank you during this journey!

Have a nice rest of your summer guys!

USCIS follow guides and regulations, therefore you have to be in status until a decision is made on your case. Talk to your college immigration adviser to see which is the best option to be in status until your case is decided upon.

As far as i know you have 2 options:
1) Apply for OPT and have it approved
2) Enroll in your same college or even a community college ( it doesn't matter if you graduated with a bachelor or masters, you can enroll full-time in a community college just to stay in status)

BEST advise is go to your college immigration advisor and talk to him about these options and others that he might have.

Or I forget about AOS and go the other route, that also an option... 2 questions about doing it with the embassy in my home country.
- I've already contacted KCC that I want to do AOS, can I change this back to the other route?
- I would want a interview date in the next year, so is it ok if I send my stuff in not directly when my number is current but 1-2 months later?

Thanks

Confused

I just got my interview letter in the mail literally 1 minute after getting off the phone with USCIS to check about why I hadn't received the biometrics appointment yet.

Now I'm confused...is this normal???

I just double checked the letter again. It says "Reason for Appointment - DV AOS Interview". So this is the Interview Letter. I wonder if the Bio Letter got lost in the mail.

Please help.
