I submitted form I-134 (Affidavit of support) for my wife's I-129F application. Now that this has been approved, for the Adjustment of Status I have to submit substantially the same information again, this time by means of form I-864. Whereas for form I-134 it was explicitly stated that it should be notarized, I have found no such provision anywhere for form I-864. Thus, I would be very grateful if people who have submitted form I-864 can clarify this issue: Did you have it notarized? No conjectures please; I am only interested in the experiences of people who have already submitted this document.

My wife and daughter have just got their K3/K4 visas, and the I-130 application that I submitted on their behalf has already been approved. They are already in the US and we are going to kick off their adjustment of status process immediately. My question is, can they already apply for a Social Security Number, or must they wait until the adjustment of status process is completed and they get their green cards?

I have recently got approval for both the I-130 and I-129F applications for my wife and child. My question is, should I drop the I-129F processing altogether? I was thinking that we may proceed to finishing off the I-130 instead while my wife and child are still in England. What are the downsides?

I left the date and signature blank on mine. I will take them with me to the Consulate and sign and date them there.

Thank you for your reply. Sometimes it is the little details that get you most confused. I guess they didn't object to you leaving the date blank since you have an interview now. Good luck with that !

Do you date the ds-156 when you fill it in and post it back to the London Embassy or do you date it at the interview when you sign it ?? What did other people do??

I have just posted to a different forum, but this one is much more relevant.

I am about to kick off the permanent residence application for my wife and daughter, who are both UK citizens (In brief, we got married when I was a permanent resident but not yet a US citizen). My questions are:

1) Is it worth the while for me to apply for K3/K4 visas for them as well? It is not clear to me that the processing time for those visas is significantly shorter than that for permanent residence, but I may be wrong. In particular, I do not know how those processing times stack up for UK citizens.

2) Are my wife and daughter allowed to come to the US as visitors on the Visa Waiver Program once the permanent residence and/or K3/K4 visa applications on their behalf have been started? I understand that technically speaking it is OK, but that the immigration authorities in the US do not like it and will make things move much more slowly.

Feedback will be much appreciated.

I am about to start the permanent residence process for my wife and daughter. I have a couple of questions:

1) Is it worth the while for me to apply for K3/K4 visas for them? I am asking because I have heard all sorts of stories about the relative processing times for permanent residence and K3/K4 visas. I guess there are many factors involved, and therefore no one-size-fits-all rules. In my case, my wife and daughter are UK citizens, I'd be filing the applications in California (Bay Area) and we have never had any issues with immigration officials before.

2) Is it the case that my wife and daughter can come visiting under the Visa Waiver Program after I have filed for permanent residence and/or K3/K4 visas for them? I would have thought that the answer is negative, but maybe people can share their experiences, positive or negative.

Any feedback will be much appreciated.
