I'm guessing that the I 134 is for Fiance' paths and the 864 is for marriage paths......we're I-130/CR1-IR1 path and the 864 Affidavit of Support is all we were required. Someone please correct me if my guess is wrong.....

Bob

from my understanding iam a IR-1 / CR-1 filer my AOS is the I-864.........then I-134 are for K-visa filer...unless they send a I-130 and a I129F and they both got approved.........but i read where the NVC drops the approved I-129f in favor of a IR-1 /CR-1....long story short.i only send in the I-864....... :dance:

I-134 is for (non-immigrant) K-1/ K-3 visa applicants and I-864 is for (immigrants) CR-1/ IR-1.

@OP:

You're good to go.

Good luck on your upcoming interview!

You should talk with your sponsor before your interview and ensure an I-864 was filed. If there is any doubt, consider having your sponsor complete another I-864 (and I-864A for household members whose income is included in the pledge of support) and bring the original signed forms to your interview. I-864s no longer need to be notarized.

Tax return requirements. Sponsors need to present one year of tax returns. Consider bringing your sponsor’s most recent Federal tax returns to your interview. Photo copies are acceptable.

Hello everyone! Good day!

I will be having my Interview at the U.S Embassy Manila this coming Friday (Feb.18th)

I'm a little bit nervous though very excited, mixed emotions and everything (negatives and positives)

Anyway, here are the documents that I will bring during my Interview.

Please help me.... any suggestions, comments, advices or recommendations is Very Very Highly Appreciated.

* Appointment letter

* Beneficiary Birth Certificate (NSO Authenticated)

* Marriage Certicifate (NSO Authenticated)

* CENOMAR

* Certificate of Marriage ( Advisory on Marriages NSO Authenticated)

* NBI

* Police Clearance Certificate ( U.A.E )

* Affidavit of Support I-864 and I-134

* Husband Income Tax Return 2007, 2008, 2009

* Proof of Relation (Pictures, letters, Cards, Money Transfer Receipts, E-mails, Chat logs and Hubby's Telephone Bills (February 2010 and January 2011 phone bill only)

Additional docs.

* Husband Birth Certificate (photocopy only)

* Divorce Decree

* Husband Passport (photocopy only)

I also photocopy and bring some of my valid ID's and my School Transcript of Records just in case.

Another thing is My husband sent me his 1040 tax and his W2 for the year 2010 via E-mail (scan & print), and since it was not included on the package that we sent to the NVC last year ago I've decided not to show it during my interview, but I will bring it also just in case if they will ask about it ( Is it a wise move or not?? )

Please... Anybody who are through or done with the interview please give me any advice about my documents. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

and God bless...

=)

you should be just fine..good luck........ :dance::dance:

i read the guidlines for cr1/ir1 but still not sure about something. my wife's interview is in 2 weeks and my lawyer mentioned she will get packet 3? is that true? does she need to fill anything else like DS 230? because i remember my lawyer filled hers and mine out and sent it with the I864 packet to the NVC. any help is appreciated, i'm trying to get my wife prepared for her interview and seems like something always comes up to get paranoid.

I'm not sure how the Vietnam Embassy works with regards the DS-230. But in my country, we are required to bring/ submit one at the interview.
