****SORRY I MEANT i134 vs i864****

Some of you may have read my post from a few weeks ago...we have been relatively smooth sailing through this whole process. A few minor delays here and there but nothing big. When my wife called Dublin embassy to confirm her interview appointment they told her, yes its confirmed but there is a problem with your affidavit of support...they said the folder was sealed and they were unable to tell her what the problem is until the interview. The NVC had apparently marked on the folder that it had been sent back TWICE even though we never heard so much as a whisper about it. We've looked through the form we submitted with a fine tooth comb and can't find ANYTHING wrong with it...we've even had other attorneys (other than the one that helped us with this case) review it...all ok.

But, last night I started browsing the forums and saw the i134 mentioned all over the place...nary a mention of the i864. Could we have completed the wrong affidavit?? Should we have completed the i134? We were initially K3 applicants...changed to CR1 at the NVC like so many others. Only been married since May 2010. What is the difference between the forms? Luckily the embassy said the problem can be handled in Dublin but I still racking my brain trying to figure out what the problem is!

Thank you for any input.

I-864 is for Immigrants, I-134 is for Non immigrants.

CR-1 and IR-1 are Immigrants, I-864 gets processed at NVC, or at consulate in DCF cases.

K-1, K-3 are NON-Immigrants so use I-134 at consulate, and later use I-864 when adjusting status to immigrant in the USA.

I-864 is the correct form for CR1.

Which number did your wife call at the embassy to confirm her appointment please? I want to call to do same but the €2.40/min number is the only one I could find!
