Which Affadavit of Support?

[Mr Bill 0]

We just received our NOA2 a couple days ago! I am flying down to see my fiancee in Peru in less than two weeks. Accordingly, I am scrambling to prepare as much stuff as I can to help her be prepared for the embassy interview.

Here are my questions:

1) The K-1 guide says to prepare an I-134 Affadavit of Support to give to her. However, I read elsewhere on VJ that Packet 3 from the Peruvian Embassy will include a blank I-864 form. Any idea which one I should prepare in advance? Also, do I fill out two forms - one for her and one for her daughter?

2) It also said that Packet 3 would contain a blank "Form 179." Any idea what that form is or where I could get my hands on a copy?

Happy Holidays!

K visas use the I-134 form. Be sure to download the new one that needs no Notorization.

Is this true? I can't find anything verifying this and the USCIS site on that page for the form still indicates notarization is necessary.

According to this link:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

It reads:

Where to File :

To file this form, it needs to be sworn to or affirmed by a USCIS Officer at any USCIS Office, by a notary public, or other official authorized to administer oaths for general purposes. If the sponsor is outside the United States, the affidavit must be sworn to or affirmed by a USCIS Officer or Consular Officer at any U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Once the form is affirmed, it should be mailed to the same USCIS office where the application was filed.

I would be happy if it was true that it was no longer necessary to have notarization but can't find anything confirming it. Any advice is very much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, can someone provide the link for the new I-134 form itself, not the instructions? Thanks
