Should i be worried? I went to the interview with my fiancee and they didn't collect my affidavit form with my supporting documents. I asked the american interviewer about it and he said it isnt required at that embassy. They approved her for the k1 visa without it.

Nope! They'll only ask if it's necessary.

They didn't ask for mine either. The consul said our case was strong enough. :) congratulations on the approval!

An I-134 is not a requirement to get a K-1 visa. It is just widely used, but apparently Manila decided they don't care about whether or not the foreign fiance(e) becomes a public charge once in the US. They are leaving it up to the AOS process after marriage in the US.

I also read that at the USCIS that you dont need the I-134 for K-1. So why the hell people are stressing this and sending it to the beneficiary? They shouldve update the NEEDED requirements.

Because they can are allowed to ask for it....they just haven't been for the last year or so in Manila. I'd still tell everyone to have it prepared though.

Thats true they really need to update it. On the requirements, it doesnt say that you need to bring the appointment confirmation page. Almost had to reschedule the interview if it werent for a nice old man who took us to a place where i could print it out. Luck was on our side haha. But yea if the affidavit form isnt required then people should chill out a little about that. I had it ready and everything.

Probably some kind of backroom agreements reached. US gets to bring back troops to Philippines, and re open bases there. US embassy makes it easy for people to immigrate to USA

Philippines send back alot of US dollars to Philippines and help the economy

USEM started to NOT ask for the I-134 about 2 years ago, yet it is still listed as required in the embassy instructions letter.

Congrats on being approved!! :dancing:

Did your fiancee complete CFO yet?

USCIS has nothing to do with how things are done within the Dept. of State (which is the embassy).

Once you are in the USA, USCIS will want the I-864 for AOS as it is a binding document, whereas the I-134 is not.
