Affidavit of Support

[Messinia 0]

Must the Affidavit of Support be completed with the initial K-1 petition or is it done for the Embassy?

What happens if you don't include it at the initial stage?

It's submitted with the other required forms and evidence at the time of the interview at the consulate.

Nothing happens if you don't include it at the initial stage; USCIS doesn't look at it at all when adjudicating an I-129F petition. It'll just be forwarded on to the consulate with the rest of the approved petition. In fact, the consulate may well ask for a new one because one submitted with the I-129F initial submission is 5-6 months old (on average) by the time the consulate ever sees it.

The affidavit of support is for the Embassy/Consulate Interview stage - it is not to be submitted with the I-129F Petition. So if you didn't - you're just fine.

Thank you.
