Affidavit of support, police certificates

When my number becomes current:

1) Do I need to submit an Affidavit of Support together with my AOS paperwork?

2) Do I need submit police certificates from my home country?
 
In the USCIS website I found the following information. As I understand I need to use form I-134 NOT I-864? Is that correct?
Can anybody tell me from their experience?




11. Is an affidavit of support required for diversity immigrants (visa lottery applicants) or any other groups of immigrants?


The new affidavit of support (Form I-864) may only be used for family-based and certain employment based immigrants. For other types of immigrants, such as diversity immigrants or lawful permanent residents returning after long absences from the United States where there are concerns about inadmissibility on public charge grounds, the earlier affidavit of support, Form I-134, may be used.[/I]

That is correct. Form I-134 should be used for Affidavit of Support.

Lucy,

What if someone is in another country as a refugee, and she won the lottery, should she get police certificates from her home country, and other countries where she had lived for more than 6 months?
 
Also, for DV-2006 it is not too late to send the forms to Kentucky (after first notification), is it?

Yes, she needs to get police statements from all places where she lived more than 6 months. Her friends/relatives can get it in her country. Many people do that, or order the statements directly through the embassy.

It's not too late. In 2004 we sent ours in September. :)

What if she did not have a registration (propiska) in those countries. Would she still be able to get a police statement?
Thank you.

Thank you for your help! It is September and my cousin just sent her DSP-122 and DS-230s.

of course. My parents got a police certificate for a person from an immigration forum with just a "doverennost'" (Russia). The person had studied in Russia many-many years ago, never had "propiska" in Russia, and currently lives in a different country.

All the police certificate usually says - "the POlice Department of xxxxx does not have any information about person A ever being arrested, cited, charged, sued (criminally, of course), fined, etc.".

I appreciate the info you provided.
And good luck on your coming interview!
 
hi,
i know that this was a an old thread but i'd appreciate if some one could help me.

it says that you need I-134 for the affidavit of support. i'm a DV2007 winner and i've just sent my AOS package, my number became current this January. i haven't sent my affidavit of support with the package cause i couldn't have it till today.
my sponsor filled I-864, the new form. i've just read that you need the I-134, but there are no forms named I-134 on USCIS forms page.

was I-134 an old form and it's not been used for DV 2007? since it's not been on the USCIS immigration forms page, i think it should be.

thanks in advance for all the replies.

You're right: I-134 has disappeared from Immigration forms list on USCIS.gov for a while now. I guess they are updating the form. I don't understand why they need to take it off the list though... :confused:
Anyhow, it is I-134 that your sponsor needs to fill out. You can get it from this site: http://www.visapro.com/US-INS-Forms/Form-I-134-INS.asp.
You can also contact your embassy, and find out if I-864 would be OK.

hi anahit, thanks for your answer. i've looked at the site you've given. it says this:
"To file a promise with USCIS to support an alien entering the United States and that the alien will not become a public charge."
i'm in the USA, i'm doing AOS. is the I-134 form for the people doing CP in their country, and the I-864 for AOS?
i'm gonna try to call my USCIS office and ask them. the 1800 people don't answer me, they just waste my time.
thanks so much.

the form itself still exists on the site, but it is not listed among other forms. :( Nobody knows why. You may not even need an affidavit at the interview, so keep it until the officer asks for it.

You need I-864 for immigration trhought a relative. For DV you need I-134.
 
Ssoooorrryyyy

anahit and Lucymo,
i just don't know what to say.
i've just checked my files and saw that i've already had the I-134 form filled by my sponsor.
:confused: :confused: :confused:
i don't know how it happened, i'm so confused and after reading sooo many threads yesterday, i think i thought that i have the wrong form.
i've just read on the USCIS web site that I-864 can not be used by DV immigrants.

please discard my question :D
