I-864 Affadavit-related question

[Kristin.l.m 0]

We're doing the last 2 pieces of our AOS application...as the petitioner, my piece is naturally the I-864 or I-864EZ (haven't figured out yet which one I should do).

I've been confused by the instructions, however... it keeps mentioning the form I-130, which is the Petition for Alien Relative.

I brought my husband over on a fiance visa (K-1). The I-129F is the initial petition completed for K-1 applications.The I-130 is completed for a K-3, as I understand it. Should I just substitute I-129F in my mind every time I read I-130 in the instructions?

I presume these are equivalent forms but the USCIS was just too lazy to make dashed versions or a key to equivalent abbreviations. I'd hope that Iw ouldn't have to turn aorund and file an I-130 on top of everything else we've had to do...

Hi,

If your spouse is Adjusting his status from Fiance visa, you as the petitioner submitted the 1-129F form . No 1-130 form(for K3 as you said). 1-129F is the correct form in this case

You only need the 1-864 form for the affidavit of support and yes subsitute the 130 for 129 in your mind.

Thanks -- this is helpful! (Wish they'd make all these forms clearer, but clearly we're not the only ones confused by all this paperwork).
