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.

Form I-134 General Instructions

As the sponsor, you must show you have sufficient income or financial resources.

Following are the general instructions to submit Form I-134 correctly:

Provide copies of your tax returns filed with the IRS (Internal Revenue System) of the last three [3] years. In case you have not filed with the IRS or you have no such documents, a written explanation must be provided
In case your income is not independent and you share a household with one [1] or more family members you will also need to include their tax returns of the last three [3] years.

Official proof of current employment or self-employment. Include any official statements such as:
