which is required for k-1 visa at hongkong consulate? i-134 or i-864

[YuAndDan 153]

I-134 is for NON-Immigrant visas such as K-Visas.

I-864 is only for Green-cards, either by Immigrant (IR-1 and CR-1) or through Adjustment of status.

Is it true that the I-134 only requires the sponsor/co-sponsor to be earning 100% of the poverty level?

No. It must be the 125%.

Technically the I-134 used by the consulate only requires 100% per department of state, however the consulates tend to apply the higher requirement of 125% for K-Visa cases because it is known that the K-Visa is an immigrant intent visa that will require 125% when adjusting status later in the USA.

Other Immigrant Categories - When an I-134 May be Needed

Do applicants who are applying for an immigrant visa in a visa category that does not require the I-864 Affidavit of Support, such as the diversity immigrant visa, need to meet the public charge provisions of Section 213A of the INA?

Consular officers will review immigrant visa applicants whose visa categories do not require the I-864 under the public charge guidelines in Section 212(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The applicants must show that they will not become a public charge. A consular officer may ask for an Affidavit of Support, Form I-134 and supporting documents. The sponsor will need to show income at 100 percent of the federal poverty guidelines for household size, not the 125 percent required under Section 213A of the INA.

Should K-1 fiancé(e) visa applicants use the I-864 or the I-134?

Since fiancé(e)s are nonimmigrant visa applicants, they should use the I-134. They will need to submit an I-864 to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) when they adjust status to conditional immigrant in the United States after they are married.
