Affidavit of Support question

[Shorah 2]

so I'm a little confused here.

I've filed my K-1 Fiance Visa and I have received my NOA1.

I am currently waiting on my NOA2 and I'm gathering the documents I will need for the P3 and interview at the embassy in Montreal Canada.

I realize we need to fill out the affidavit of support I-134 form as its on the checklist that the embassy sends me. Thats not the problem.

The checklist lists a few other things that I dont actually need like Adoptions decree and military records, etc.

The thing that confuses me is that it lists both the I-134, but also a I-864 Affidavit of Support form that is alot more detailed.

So my question is do I actually need this I-864 version as well?

I've been looking for the answer online but there is so much information that I'm more confused than when I started.

I'm thinking that the I-864 is the affidavit of support that gets filed with the AOS down the road but I'm not entirely sure.

The VJ guide for the K-1 process doesnt mention the I-864 anywhere that I saw...........I think, like I said I`m confused!

Can anyone answer this question for me?

Much appreciation in advance!

Oops by "AOS" I meant Adjustment of Status after we're married, just wanted to clarify.

You are perfectly fine by abbreviating AOS...that is what it stands for on here You do not need to worry about the I-864 until you are petitioning for AOS. During the K1 process and for the purpose of the K1 interview, you need the I-134. Make sure you also submit (for you and also for your co-sponser, if you have one) your last three years tax returns, copies of most recent pay stubs, and a letter from your employer, along with the I-134. Good Luck on Your Journey, and let me know if you need anymore help. When you're just starting out, this can all feel a little intimidating, but with this site-you will have all the support you need!

Thanks so much. Are the last 3 years tax returns completely necessary? My fiance is divorced and some of those old tax returns will have stuff like that on them, plus he doesnt work the same job as then so the income is pretty different than it is now.

I read on the instruction guide that paystubs work as well as letters from your bank and employer. Will that be enough plus maybe this years w2?

They say last 3 years to be safe, but if you could do tax returns for 2010/or W-2 and maybe 2009 tax returns, that would be good. A letter from the bank would help your case too, so good idea. I've seen people who have done that and they just state when the account was opened, how much money has been deposited into the account and current balance. I'd be afraid not to include any tax returns, so at least one years...However, just because he is divorced and both their income is on the tax returns from filing jointly: as long as his income alone is sufficient to meet poverty guidelines--that is all they need to see. Her income won't matter. For example, I used my mom as our Co-sponser and only had her sign the I-134, employer letter etc...Even though on their last 3 year tax returns my Dads income was on there too. But, it didnt' matter because they are only looking at the income of the Sponser. Hope I'm not confusing you...Let me know if you have any further questions.
