Hi,

I am trying to have my mother in law visit us in the US. Do I need to send I-134 to show that we can support her? if yes where should I send it to ?

The I-134 is not needed for your MIL to qualify for a visitor visa. It will help show how she plans to pay for her trip.

While an invitation letter and I-134 may be helpful to your MIL. She will need to qualify for the visa based on her ties to her home. Every foreign national is presumed to have the intent to immigrate to the US. She will need to present evidence that she has strong ties to her home that would indicate she is not a risk to overstay her visa. The US government will not accept assurance from a US person because there is no way for the US person to force a person on a plane to go home.

Thanks for responding. Where the letter and I-134 should be sent to? Should I email a scanned copies to my mother and fax another to the embassy?
