I-134

[LP]

Once and for all.....Is the I 134 still needed or not?
I have heard the embassy no longer requires it at the interview.
Whats the true scoop? And is this for both Moscow and Warsaw?

The best information available is on Doc Steen and Alvena's website, which you probably already know:

and the Moscow embassy's website itself:

No, the I-134 is not needed in Moscow. However, other embassies still require it. You will have to check with the embassy you will be dealing with.

....I know these sites. I have also heard this from recent interviews. Can anybody else confirm this first hand? What about Warsaw?

It wasn't for me, I met a guy who charges people $500 to process K1 docs *only* up until the NOA (He's not a lawyer), and he seemed unaware of recent changes. Been doing it for years, says he's never had a rejection and claims he has more business than he can handle. He also get's $125 to supply guys with "visa trip kits" consisting of the G-325 Bio, I-129 and other readily available forms.

Man! What a racket, there's one born every minute.
Me thinks I'll get into providing these "services".

FWIW, this guy married a R/W six years ago when she was here on a business visa. Well, it has recently blown up on him and he's now involved in a divorce. He stated she came, got a good job, slowly became "Americanized" and that was that. Took six years though. Yikes...

Now he's heading over to Moscow in December on his *first* visit ever to the FSU. Funny, he had six years of what you all aim for and he never set foot over there.

Strange business this.

It is NOT REQUIRED in Moscow, however, to be on a safe side, it's RECOMMENDED to have it. Just in case...
