Is the affidavit of support needed during a K-1 visa interview?

[RoseMalaysia 10]

Do I need affidavit of support in my K-1 visa interview? Or is it just needed when I file for change of status when I’m in the USA?

One could be requested at the visa interview.  Your consulate makes that decision

Hi, My fiance also applied for K1 visas but they are not working on K1 visas in My country Pakistan. Are they working in your country? Bcus i have heard they are not working on K1 anywhere in the world? If yes, when did you apply?

K1s are being processed at several consulates, however the majority still are not.

You will need the following for the interview. Some refer to it as AOS but most use AOS to label the process after marriage on a K-1 visa.

 

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT: You must submit any evidence which will show that you and members of your family who will accompany you are not likely to become public charges while in the United States. Visa petitioner (US Citizen) will have to complete form I-134. If the petitioner does not qualify as a sponsor, a Joint-Sponsor should present (any US Citizen living in the US or Legal Permanent Resident), who will also have to complete form I-134. Both the Sponsor (Petitioner) as well as the Joint-Sponsor, will have to present last year's income tax return transcripts. W2 form and proof of current and sustainable income (e.g., letter of employment on letterhead including salary and start date, most recent salary receipts, bank accounts, the value of properties, etc.). You may download the I-134 affidavit at https://www.uscis.gov/i-134. Bank statements in place of a letter from the bank will work just fine. Print the statement that shows the opening balance for a month and the closing balance for that month. Do that for 12 months—no need to print off all pages of a bank statement.

Most of the people I’ve been in contact with, needed to have it on the day of the interview. 

If I were you, I’d do some more research concerning that specific consulate, but I’d say it’s a better idea to have one, just in case. Better safe than sorry.

Bring a completed and signed I-134 and supporting documents.  No reason to risk not having it if they ask for it.
