I-134, Affidavit of Support

Instructions

An alien applying for SSI must make available to the Social

Security Administration documentation concerning his / her

income and resources and those of the sponsor, including

information that was provided in support of the corresponding

application.

A separate affidavit must be submitted for each person. As

the sponsor, you must sign the affidavit in your full, true

and correct name and affirm or make it under oath.

As the sponsor, you must show you have sufficient income

and/or financial resources to assure that the alien you are

sponsoring will not become a public charge while in the

United States.

Evidence should consist of copies of any or all of the

following documentation listed below that are applicable to

your situation.

Failure to provide evidence of sufficient income and/or

financial resources may result in the denial of the alien's

application for a visa or his or her removal from the United

States.

The sponsor must submit in duplicate evidence of income

and resources, as appropriate:

A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial

institutions where you have deposits, identifying the

following details regarding your account:

1. Date account opened;

B. Statement of your employer on business stationery,

revealing:

1. Date and nature of employment;

C. If self-employed:

2. Report of commercial rating concern.

D. List containing serial numbers and denominations of

bonds and name of record owner(s).

I. Execution of Affidavit.

II. Supporting Evidence.

Effective October 1, 1981, amendments to section 415 of the

Social Security Act established similar requirements for

determining the eligibility of aliens who apply for the first

time for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC),

currently administered under Temporary Assistance for Needy

Families (TANF). Effective December 22, 1981, amendents to

the Food Stamp Act of 1977 affect the eligibility of alien

participation in the Food Stamp Program.

These amendments require that the income and resources of

any person who, as the sponsor of an alien's entry into the

United States, executes an affidavit of support or similar

agreement on behalf of the alien, and the income and

resources of the sponsor's spouse (if living with the sponsor)

shall be deemed to be the income and resources of the alien

under formulas for determining eligibility for SSI, TANF and

Food Stamp benefits during the three years following the

alien's entry into the United States.

Form I-134 (Rev. 02/28/07)Y

OMB No. 1615-0014; Exp. 04-30-07

Effective October 1, 1980, amendments to section 1614(f) of

the Social Security Act and Part A of Title XVI of the Social

Security Act establish certain requirements for determining

the eligibility of aliens who apply for the first time for

III. Sponsor and Alien Liability.

If you are in the United States, the affidavit may be

sworn to or affirmed before an officer of U.S. Citizenship

and Immigration Services (USCIS) without the payment of

fee, or before a notary public or other officers authorized

to administer oaths for general purposes, in which case the

official seal or certificate of authority to administer oaths

must be affixed.

If you are outside the United States, the affidavit

must be sworn to or notice affirmed before a U.S.

consular or immigration officer.

procedures or to order USCIS forms, call our National

Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or visit our

VII. Paperwork Reduction Act Notice.

The information will be used principally by USCIS, or by any

consular officer to whom it may be furnished, to support an

alien's application for benefits under the Immigration and

Nationality Act and specifically the assertion that he or she

has adequate means of financial support and will not become a

public charge. Submission of the information is voluntary.

These provisions do not apply to SSI, TANF or Food

Stamp eligibility of aliens admitted as refugees, granted

asylum or Cuban/ Haitian entrants as defined in section

501(e) of P.L. 96-422, and to dependent children of the

sponsor or sponsor's spouse.

As an alternative to waiting in line for assistance at your local

USCIS office, you can now schedule an appointment through

our internet-based system, InfoPass. To access the system,

visit our website at www.uscis.gov. Use the InfoPass

appointment scheduler and follow the screen prompts to set up

your appointment. InfoPass generates an electronic

appointment notice that appears on the screen. Print the notice

Joint and Several Liability Issues.

Sections 1621(e) of the Social Security Act and

subsection 5(i) of the Food Stamp Act also provide that an

alien and his or her sponsor shall be jointly and severally

liable to repay any SSI, TANF or Food Stamp benefits that are

incorrectly paid because of mis-information provided by a

sponsor or because of a sponsor's failure to provide

information, except where the sponsor was without fault or

where good cause existed.

Incorrect payments that are not repaid will be withheld from

any subsequent payments for which the alien or sponsor are

otherwise eligible under the Social Security Act or Food

Stamp Act.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services and the

Secretary of Agriculture are authorized to obtain copies of

any such documentation submitted to USCIS or the U.S.

Department of State and to release such documentation to a

State public assistance agency.

An alien applying for TANF or Food Stamps must make

similar information available to the State public assistance

agency.

Authority for the collection of the information requested on

this form is contained in 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(4),1183(a),1184(a)

and 1258.

We ask for the information on this form and associated

evidence to determine if you have established eligibility for

the immigration benefit you are seeking. We may provide this

information to other government agencies. Failure to provide

this information and any requested evidence may delay a final

decision or result in denial of your request.

VI. Privacy Act Notice.

We try to create forms and instructions that are accurate, can

be easily understood and impose the least possible burden on

you to provide us with information. Often this is difficult

because some immigration laws are very complex.

The estimated average time to complete and file this notice is

15 minutes.

or suggestions for making this form simpler, you may write to:
