Affidavit of Support

[Amit-N-Melody 11]

I copied this directly from the USCIS website:

Affidavit of Support

Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, is not required when applying for the K-3 or K-4 nonimmigrant visa. However, the K-3 or K-4 nonimmigrant will need to furnish evidence showing that he or she will not become a public charge while in the United States. You may opt to complete Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, to help demonstrate that your K-3 or K-4 nonimmigrant will not become a public charge while in the United States. When the K-3 or K-4 nonimmigrant visa holder applies for adjustment of status, he or she will adjust status as an immediate relative, and at that time will need to file Form I-864.

I thought that I had to have the I-864 and show that I am 125% above poverty in the interview process ... so is this something that my hubby is going to have to have in the interview and they are going to look at but just isnt required. I think I have read so much stuff that I have confused myself

HE has to, not you. HE is supporting you HE is petitioning you HE is sponcering you to come on a k-3. He has to be 125% of the poverty or get a sponcer to also file with him to meet the guidelines.

ummmmm this would be kinda hard since he has no job and he plans on being a kept man I think I should sponser him since I am the one that is living in AMerica and I am the one filing the K-3 to get his little lovely self here to keep me happy hehehehehehe

You as the petitioner must fill out the AOS forms. Your husband (the beneficiary) is not required to.

It is what it is. The US Citizen must qualify to sponsor the K3 beneficiary or find a co-sponsor who is. The beneficiary's assets, (not income unless it will continue from the same source after relocating to the USA) can be used in a CR1 visa case but not for K3.

AOS=adjustment of status....... I am not sure what this has to do with the affidavit of support.... I was asking.... Do I or Do I not have to have a affidavit of support with the K-3 visa.. this is for my hubby.. I have read several different things on this...

Lol, looks like some were somewhat confused when reading your post!

Yes, you as the petitioner of a K3 must supply the affidavit of support, I-134, (not I-864) for your husband. He'll need to have this to submit to VFS prior to his interview at the embassy.

AOS ALSO means Affidavit of Support. Yes, you DO have to file the I-134 to show that you can take care of your husband prior to adjustment of status where you will file the I864.

I was not in the least confused given that AOS means two separate things.

Seeing as how AOS is more 'generally' used for Adjustment of Status (probably to avoid confusion), it only made sense to assume that there was a little confusion about what the OP 'meant', nothing more. She just wanted to know if an affidavit of support I-134 was required at the time interview. It was not by any means an intent to insult, so please do not take it that way. No hard feelings, ok? It's all good.
