Affidavit of Support

 Share

Recommended Posts

My fiance and I have been approved and received our case number from the NVC. The agent I spoke with at the NVC advised me to begin getting all documentations together while I wait for them to send our information to the Embassy. I explained to her we have already completed our DS-160 application - paid for it and have a receipt number. She explained to me what was needed, which most he has already or has obtained including the required police certificate. She mentioned that we needed to be sure that he has the "correct" birth certificate- where I am confused because I have not known of there being more than one kind. Next she stated to complete the Affidavit of Support and will need to have a copy of my recent tax return transcript. Again the agent stated to fill out the correct affidavit but did not nor would clarify which one - after some research I see there are 2 different forms: the I-134 and the I-864. Can anyone tell me which one I would need to complete for the K1-Visa? Also is there a fee to file the AOS form?Is this something that he will take with him when we have a scheduled interview or is this something we would need to mail to the Embassy first and then wait for them to review the information. I have seen some people have done it both ways, mail the packet or take to the interview. I like to be proactive and want to make sure we have what is needed and expected beings I have read cases have been denied due to missing information. 

 

Thank You for any help provided.

Each country has various versions, including the US. Some are called "short form" versions and others are "long form" versions with added details. Th long form is generally recommended. The specifics are in the reciprocity tables.

I-134 for K-1 visa.

I-864 once you get to the AOS step (after marrying in the US).

No fee for either form* (there is an I-864 review fee at NVC for other visa types, but not a K-1).

The I-134 is presented at the interview.

Look for packet 3/packet 4 with specific instructions for your embassy/consulate.

the Embassy at Santo Domingo will  notified. You by email that you could start filing DS-160 and scheduling  VAC  and Consulate Appointments.  As stated before in these forums the Santo Doming Embassy does not mail packet #3.  However we expected some kind of notification by "snail" mail but got the email instead.  Still in doubt that the package was received electronically since NVC sent it on July 24 and the info was updated on July 25 with status Ready.  Now the CEAC shows that the case was updated on August 6. 
  
Since both medical exam providers  Consultorios de Visa and Servicios Médicos Consulares list the appointment sheet (Hoja de Cita)   as a prerequisite you must schedule your appointments on the ustraveldocs.com/do website.  In order to do that you need the DS-160 confirmation number.   
  
As stated in these forums be very VERY careful on creating your ustraveldocs (aka https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/applicanthome)  profile.  I won't spout the whole rant about the website.  Be mindful of two caveats: 1) Type the email exactly as it is.  One small typo will cause you not to receive anything since the profile will be created without the system validating the email first.  2)Never create more that one profile just to check out website user interaction.  I did both mistakes and had to call ustraveldocs and request that all 3 profiles (the first I created, the one with the typo in the email and the one with the correct email) be merged since I used the same beneficiary's data.  The system checks that and won't let you pay and schedule your appointments.  VAC appointment is on the last week of August and Embassy in mid-September.  After we are done I will be updating our timeline. 
  
Once we passed that hurdle we managed to fill and file DS-160 print in PDF the confirmation page.  We also printed in PDF the DS-160 already filled and filed.  By this week we hope to complete the medical and all requested documents.

In reference to the Birth Certificate make sure it’s the one called Inextensa which is the longer version and it’s used for these cases. The one that reads Extracto is used local at RD. We had that problem with my in-laws.

Thank You- where would he go to get the correct one? The one I have that we sent in to USCIS has the stamp on it but it does not state wither of those on there. At the top it just says "Junta Central Electoral Oficialia de Estado civil Certificado de declaracion de nacimiento". It actually has 2 stamps on it.

Any JCE office can issue one.  If you need it legalized, they will send it to the capital, and you return to pick it up a couple of days later.
