Hello all

Trying to get a small headstart on the paperwork needed after the I-129 is approved..

Reading the Guides I found I still have a few questions..

The first is regarding the Affidavit of Support..

what is the diference between the I-134 and the I-864? What determines which form to use? Is there a requirement for a bond? If so, what kind of bond is required? (Item 5 on the I-134)

According to the instructions, the DS 156K will be furnished by the Embassy if needed. I remember reading that completing this form ahead of time is acceptable,, Any thoughts?

Thanks everyone again for all your help..

The I-134 is used by the consulates for K-1 visa processing. The I-864 will be used after you get married in the US and file for AOS.

The I-134 is not legally binding - the I-864 is.

I've not heard of anyone securing a bond in a K-1 case (or any other immigration case I have read about here on VJ).

The DS-156 and other forms are typically available through the consulate we sites - they are a redirect link to the DoS website where the forms reside.

US Embassy - Bogota

Here is a link to the US Embassy in Bogota. Make sure you read all the little notes on the pages regarding K-1. It can be very confusing navigating around these consulate web sites and trying to figure out exactly what to do. Try not to get to terribly frustrated!

Best Wishes and have a nice weekend :thumbs:
