I'm confused. Should I use the I-134 Affidavit or the I-864 Affidavit?

I-134 is used for K1 petitions at the Embassy or Consulate. I-864 is used for AOS and spousal visa petitions when the file is being processed by the NVC.

It states in the 'packet 3' info at the CDJ web site, that the I-864 is not required: http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/root/pdfs/pk1iv.pdf

12. Proof of Economic Solvency (The petitioner can provide a letter from their current employer, recent check stubs, and current tax returns. The Affidavit of Support I-864 is not required. (A job offers letter for the beneficiary can also be provided).

Technically for CDJ, the I-134 is not required either. However, people in the past were asked for it, so most of us just went ahead and used that form. It is an easy way to organize your financial situation anyway.
