Am I missing something here? Required or not required? K-1 / i-134

[sarsorti 36]

Please forgive me for beating these questions to death about i-134, but it all seems so confusing and contradictory....and thank you advance to anyone who may be able to spread some light on the subject.

Please forgive me for beating these questions to death about i-134, but it all seems so confusing and contradictory....and thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to spread some light on the subject. However from what I read on the following link it leads one to believe you do not have to file the i-134 until AFTER visa is approved and fiance is in the US, check it out:

scroll to 4th paragraph down

Affidavit of Support For Fiancé(e), Spouse, or Child as a “K” Nonimmigrant

If your relative is either a “K-1” fiancé(e), a “K-3” spouse, or a “K-2” or “K-4” child of fiancé(e) or spouse, you do not need to submit an affidavit of support at the time you file your Form I-129F petition. Instead, you should submit an affidavit of support at the time that your fiancé(e), spouse, or child adjusts status to permanent resident after coming to the United States.

Hey there, I saw the USCIS link you were looking at. Yes, you still need this for the fiance visa. You will need the I-864 when you adjust status after getting married.

And while I know and believe this is true why do you think they have posted this on their site? I am prepared with everything minus the kitchen sink, I just wish USCIS would be clear on these issues.

The information on that site appears to be about the I-864 affidavit of support. You need the I-134 at the K-1 visa interview, and you will need the I-864 after you are married and the beneficiary is filing for adjustment of status.

It is clear. It states (from your OP) "you do not need to submit an affidavit of support at the time you file your Form I-129F petition.". You NEVER submit the affadavit of support with the petition/ filing the first lot of papers. You either have the beneficiary submit it at interview (K1), or submit it to NVC (CR-1 spousal visa).
