What is the difference between I-864 and I-134?
The I-134(affidavit of support) is not a legally binding affidavit, it is used for non
immigrant visa's. Up until you marry (and subsequently file for Adjustment of status) the non US Citizen fiancé(e) will hold a non
immigrant visa.This allows them to get into the US before having a legal relationship with the US Citizen fiancé(e)
The I-864(Affidavit of Support) is a legally binding contract that the sponsor will be financially responsible for the
immigrant in the event the
immigrant attempts to benefit from certain federal aid programs. This form is filed at the Adjustment of Status part of the journey (after the Non US Citizen has traveled to the States and get married). This form is several pages long, demands detailed financial information, and is legally binding.
