AOS - Affidavit of Support question

[brill 0]

I am currently studying in the US and am fortunate to be a DV-2015 winner. I am contemplating proceeding on the basis of filing an Adjustment of Status. In terms of the Affidavit of Support, which I understand to be Form I-134 for diversity visa winners, does it have to be filed separately by the sponsor or do i file it and supporting documents with the Adjustment of Status Form I-485? Also, would my sponsor, who lives in another state, have to attend an interview with USCIS?

Yes it is the I-134, NOT the I864 used in other types of IV application.

The sponsor gives it to you and you take it to the interview (you don't file it). That answer stands for adjustment of status or consular processing.

Thank you for the response. What about the other documents such as passport-style photos, birth certificate, copy of passport page etc? Do I submit them with the Form I-485 or also take them to the interview?

Brill,

THe DV/AOS expert is Sm1smom. She created a spreadsheet with all sorts of AOS information which can be found at the link below. From your questions it is clear you need to read this and understand the aos package you will need to compile. However, since you are a DV2015 winner you have a LONG time before you can submit your 485 pack anyway - that being controlled by your case number. So - I suggest you take the time to read about the process and slow down. This is NOT a fast process.
