Affidavit of Support & fees, K-1 fiance visa

[CarolAnn&Eddy 12]

I have a couple questions and have found different answers or not complete explanations. If anyone could shed some light, I would be greatly appreciated. My fiance lives in Canada and we are just getting all our information together to send off the I-129F petition. We only live a few hours apart so i will be going to his interview with him when we get approval and then we will be traveling back here together.

#1 Does an Affidavit of support have to be filed with the original I-129F petition? Have seen where it is said to send, hold on to it until the interview in Vancouver, and have seen where it was stated that it was not needed for the Fiance K-1 visa and just for the adjustment of status after we are married.

#2 Are there 2 different fees for the fiance visa? I will be sending $340 with my petition, but I have also seen stated that there is a fee at the embassy, at the time of interview of $350.

#3 Has anyone had experience in crossing a land border by car with the fiance visa? Any problems or special procedures we should be preparing ourselves for?

I am just trying to get a good outline of everything so we have our ducks in a row and have an idea what to expect. Yes, I am a worrier! lol

Hi,

#1 - you do not have to submit the Affidativ of support now - it is required at the interview stage and it is mandatory ! For the AOS you will need another affidativ of support different than I 134.

#2 - yes, there are two separate fees - first with the I129F for the amount of $340 and a second fee at the interview

Moving to the K-1 process & procedure thread from NVC thread.

The NVC only assigns a case number and mails it the US embassy. They have nothing else to do with K-1 petitions.

#1 no, you will file the I-134 later during the interview. After your fiancee is here and married you file to adjust status, then you file the I-864, and yes, more fees.

#2 Kind of. You have to pay the I-129f filing fee. Later you pay more fees before or during the interview.

#3. Sometimes someone will get a CBP officer that doesn't know how to process a visa. 99% of the time there are no problems.
