Show Financial Support with Form I-134?

Applying for someone to come to the US? You might need Form I-134, Affidavit of Support! This form proves you can financially support them. Here's who typically needs it:

  • Family Sponsors: Bringing a spouse, parent, child, or sibling? As the US citizen or green card holder petitioning for them, you'll likely need this form. It assures the US government they won't become a public burden.

  • Fiancé(e) Visa (K-1 Visa): Petitioning for a fiancé(e) to come to the US? You'll need this form to show you can financially support them until they get work authorization.

  • Employment-Based Visa (Sometimes): In some cases, employment-based visa applicants might need this form if their income falls short or they require a joint sponsor.

  • Certain Nonimmigrant Visas (Rare): Less common, but some nonimmigrant visas may require this form to show financial solvency.

Remember: By signing Form I-134, you're legally promising financial support to the applicant. There are income requirements and supporting documents needed. Make sure to carefully follow USCIS instructions and include all necessary documentation.
