Question about slightly different I-134

[mike101 8]

I'm preparing for our interview and have a question about the I-134 form.

I previously prepared an I-134 form that I downloaded form the USCIS web site and completed it. My Fiancee received her interview packet from the Embassy in Bogota and I realize the forms are slightly different. The form from Bogota requires a notary or an official from the USCIS to endorse it while the form from the USCIS web site does not.

I'm a bit confused now and would like to see if someone else has noticed this.

Here are the forms:

US Embassy Bogota USCIS I-134

http://bogota.usembassy.gov/root/pdfs/i-134.pdf

USCIS I-134

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-134.pdf

Notice the form from the Embassy in Bogota has a section labeled "Oath Affirmation of Sponsor"

My thought is to use the form given to us by the US Embassy in Bogota as they request the same information with the addition of an endorsement.

Thanks

They just haven't updated their website with the latest version of the I-134. You can use either.

The forms page of the USCIS at www.uscis.gov says the current version is dated 10/30/2008. But the Embassies should accept any prior version.

So go with the form you prefer.

Affidavit of Support I-134 $0 10/30/2008. Prior versions are also acceptable.

This is exactly what I needed.
