Obtain Answers on USCIS I-134

What is the USCIS I-134 form?

The USCIS I-134 form, also known as the Affidavit of Support, is a document used by individuals in the United States to demonstrate that they can financially support a foreign national applying for a visa. This form is often required for non-immigrant visa applicants to show that they will not become a public charge.
Who needs to fill out the I-134 form?

The I-134 form must be filled out by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident who is willing to act as a financial sponsor for a foreign national. This is typically required for individuals applying for tourist or student visas, as well as certain other non-immigrant visa categories.
What information is required on the I-134 form?

The form requires various pieces of information, including:
- Your personal details, such as name, address, and date of birth.
- Details about your income and employment.
- Information about your assets, including bank statements and property ownership.
- Details about the person you are sponsoring, including their name and relationship to you.
How does the I-134 form affect the visa application process?

The I-134 form plays a crucial role in the visa application process. It provides evidence to the consular officer that the applicant has sufficient financial support during their stay in the U.S. A properly completed form can increase the chances of a visa being granted.
Is there a fee associated with filing the I-134 form?

There is no fee for submitting the I-134 form itself. However, applicants may incur other costs related to the visa application process, such as application fees, medical examinations, and travel expenses.
How long is the I-134 form valid?

The I-134 form does not have an official expiration date. However, it should be submitted close to the time of the visa application. If there are significant changes in the sponsor's financial situation, a new form may be necessary.
Can I sponsor multiple individuals with one I-134 form?

No, each foreign national requiring sponsorship must have a separate I-134 form. Each form should be tailored to the specific individual being sponsored, ensuring that their unique circumstances are addressed.
What happens if the I-134 form is denied?

If the I-134 form is denied, the foreign national's visa application may be negatively affected. It is essential to ensure that all information provided is accurate and complete. If a denial occurs, the sponsor can address any issues and resubmit the form if necessary.
Where do I submit the I-134 form?

The I-134 form should be submitted to the U.S. consulate or embassy where the foreign national is applying for their visa. It is often advisable to include the form with the visa application package to ensure it is considered during the review process.

Common mistakes

Completing the USCIS I-134 form can be a critical step for individuals seeking to sponsor a visa applicant. However, there are common mistakes that can hinder the process. Understanding these errors can help ensure a smoother application experience.

One frequent mistake is providing inaccurate personal information. It is essential to double-check names, addresses, and dates of birth. Even minor discrepancies can lead to delays or denials. Ensuring accuracy helps maintain the integrity of the application.

Another common error involves failing to include all required documentation. The I-134 form requires specific financial evidence, such as tax returns and pay stubs. Omitting these documents can result in the application being considered incomplete, which may lead to rejection.

Many applicants also overlook the importance of signing the form. A missing signature can invalidate the application. It is crucial to review the form thoroughly before submission to ensure all necessary signatures are included.

Some individuals make the mistake of not providing sufficient financial support evidence. The form requires proof of the sponsor's ability to support the visa applicant. Providing clear and comprehensive financial documentation is vital to demonstrate that the sponsor can meet the applicant's needs.

Another issue arises when sponsors fail to update their information. Changes in employment status or financial circumstances should be communicated promptly. Keeping the information current helps avoid complications during the processing of the application.

In addition, applicants sometimes neglect to read the instructions carefully. Each section of the I-134 form has specific requirements. Understanding these instructions is crucial for completing the form accurately and fully.

Lastly, some individuals submit the form without making copies of the completed application. Retaining a copy is important for future reference and can be helpful if any questions arise during the processing. This simple step can save time and stress down the line.

Documents used along the form

The USCIS I-134 form, also known as the Affidavit of Support, is an important document used by individuals who are sponsoring a foreign national for a visa. To support the application process, several other forms and documents may be required. Below is a list of commonly used forms and documents that are often submitted alongside the I-134.

Form I-130: This is the Petition for Alien Relative. It establishes a relationship between the U.S. citizen or permanent resident and the foreign national they wish to sponsor.
Form I-864: Known as the Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the Act, this form is typically used for family-based immigration and demonstrates the sponsor's financial ability to support the immigrant.
Form I-797: This is the Notice of Action. It serves as proof that the USCIS has received a petition or application and may indicate approval or denial of a request.
Form I-551: Also known as the Permanent Resident Card or Green Card, this document is proof of an individual's lawful permanent resident status in the United States.
Tax Returns: Recent tax returns are often required to demonstrate the sponsor’s financial stability and ability to support the foreign national.
Employment Verification Letter: This letter from the sponsor's employer confirms their job position, salary, and employment status, adding credibility to their financial claims.
Bank Statements: Recent bank statements provide insight into the sponsor's financial resources and help to show that they can support the foreign national.
Proof of Citizenship or Residency: This may include a birth certificate, passport, or naturalization certificate, proving the sponsor's status as a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
Form I-94: This document is the Arrival/Departure Record, which shows the foreign national's immigration status and history of entries into the U.S.

Gathering these documents can seem daunting, but each one plays a crucial role in the immigration process. Ensuring that all required forms and supporting documents are accurately completed and submitted can significantly impact the outcome of the visa application. Careful attention to detail will facilitate a smoother process for both the sponsor and the foreign national seeking to enter the United States.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the USCIS I-134 form, it's important to follow certain guidelines to ensure your application is processed smoothly. Here are some dos and don'ts to keep in mind:

Do read the instructions carefully before starting.
Do provide accurate and truthful information.
Do use black ink and write clearly.
Do sign and date the form where required.

Don't leave any required fields blank.
Don't submit the form without reviewing it for errors.
Don't forget to include supporting documents if needed.
Don't use abbreviations or slang in your answers.

Misconceptions

The USCIS I-134 form, also known as the Affidavit of Support, is often misunderstood. Here are five common misconceptions about this important document:

It guarantees a visa approval.
Many people believe that submitting the I-134 form will automatically lead to the approval of a visa application. In reality, while the form demonstrates financial support, it does not guarantee that the visa will be granted. Visa decisions are based on various factors, including eligibility and compliance with immigration laws.
Only U.S. citizens can file the I-134.
Another misconception is that only U.S. citizens are eligible to submit the I-134 form. However, lawful permanent residents (green card holders) can also file this form to support a visa applicant. This expands the pool of potential sponsors.
It requires a specific income level.
Some believe that there is a strict income threshold that must be met to file the I-134. While sponsors should demonstrate sufficient income to support the applicant, there is no set minimum. USCIS looks at the overall financial situation of the sponsor, including assets and other factors.
It is a legally binding contract.
Many think that signing the I-134 creates a legally binding contract between the sponsor and the government. In truth, while it is a formal declaration of support, it does not impose legal obligations in the same way as other contracts. It is more of a promise to provide financial assistance if needed.
It is only needed for family-based immigration.
Some individuals assume that the I-134 is only necessary for family-based immigration cases. However, this form can also be required for non-family-based visa applications, such as certain humanitarian or employment-related visas. Understanding when the form is needed is crucial for applicants.

Key takeaways

The USCIS I-134 form, also known as the Affidavit of Support, is essential for individuals seeking to sponsor a visa applicant. Here are key takeaways regarding its completion and use:

The form must be completed accurately and truthfully to avoid delays in the application process.
It is crucial to provide all required documentation, including proof of income and financial stability.
The sponsor must demonstrate an ability to support the visa applicant financially, ensuring they will not become a public charge.
All sections of the form should be filled out; incomplete forms may be rejected or cause processing delays.
Once submitted, the form may be used in various immigration processes, including family reunification and refugee applications.
Keep copies of the completed form and all supporting documents for your records and future reference.
