rebeccajo,

An amendment was made to the INA in about 1996 or 1997 creating new sponsorship requirements for immigrants. Those new requirements are embodied in the I-864. The INS issued a temporary order implementing the new section of the INA in 1997, it took another 9 years for their successor USCIS to issue the final order!

Yodrak

Ok. Hope this is in the right forum.

The I-134 Affidavit of Support is not legally binding on the sponsor.

But the I-864 is.

Why is that? I realized last night that I have no clue what the legal reason is.............

rebeccajo,

What is?

Yodrak

Sheesh.

So basically it's sort of an antiquated form that they haven't yet figured out they don't need to use?

....

Oh sorry. The I-134.

But why would DOS use an INS/USCIS form anyway? Is that one reason it's not binding?

rebeccajo,

I-134 is not obsolete - it remains quite useful for non-immigrant visas. The K visas, for example, and B2 visas.

Why should DoS re-create something that already exists? Don't we complain enough already about how inefficient the government is?

I-134 is not enforceable because there's nothing in the law to make it enforceable. Congress decided that this was a problem in immigration situations and that something needed to be done about it, but that it was not necessary to make any changes in non-immigration situations.

Yodrak,

Ok got it.

The I-134 is still useful and DoS is being efficient.

And I-134 is not enforceable because there's no law making it so.

Simple.

Thanks.
