Hi! I'm really confused about this Affidavit of Support.

Atfirst, I thought my Fiance would just send me the form and the copies of the required evidence. But then I read somewhere that you have to file it, and wait for the USCIS to approve it.

Can someone please guide me with this?

I would appreciate any advice.

Thank you very much!

USCIS is not involved in the i134 for a k1.  Where did you read this?

YMMV

Ironically it is an USCIS form that you never file directly with USCIS.   It is submitted at the interview at the consulate.

Thank you. This looks clearer to me now.

Hi there!

Because there is a "Where To File?" section in the USCIS's instructions I thought it has to get approved by them.

Thanks!

I give you credit for reading the instructions,  which is something most people don't do

You do not send the I-134 to USCIS.    I-134 is used at the embassy for the interview ONLY.
