Complete Form I-131 in a few easy steps
The Application for Travel Document (Form I-131) is multi-purpose, and its correct use directly depends on the immigration status of the applicant. It is commonly used by non-us citizens, applying for a legal permit to remain outside and then return to the US for a specific period of time.
Form I-134: Sponsor a visiting non-U.S. citizen
Form I-134 is used to sponsor a foreign national entering the United States. The sponsor needs to be either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) and is required to provide proof to the USCIS that the applicant has sufficient funds and will not become dependent on the U.S government financial resources, i.e., a public charge.
It is commonly used in connection with visitor visas, fiancé visas, diversity visas, students, and public interest parolees.
Those sponsoring family-based immigrants or employment-based immigrants who are coming to work for relatives or companies must use Affidavit of Support I-864.
