When does I-134 become invalid?

[RandyBell 0]

I have recently sponsored an in-law to study here with F1 status. I signed the I-134 Affidavit of support for this individual.

My question is, how long is this binding for and under what terms would it become invalid?

Thanks,

RB

Until their I-94 expires, 90 days after their initial entry to the US.

It is not binding at all.

An I-134 has been shown to be a non-enforceable piece of paper....so it was worthless from the outset....it was never valid for the purpose described....don't know why the form still exists....

technically, it is in effect until the I-94 expires.

For many F-1 visa holders, that's usually D/s [Duration of Stay] so that means it expires when they leave or the visa is invalidated.

However, it's not legally binding, so bear that in mind.

[the I-864 is legally binding]

an I-134 is not legally enforceable, so its value from the beginning was zero, and it maintains that value no matter when the bearer of same enters or leaves this country.
