Everyone Says

[wjr 3]

Hi Everyone,

I have heard a lot of people here say that the I 134 is "Not" legally binding, but the I 134 form has on it clear as day that it "Is" legally binding. So why does many say that it is not?????? Thank you.

Because it is not. The I-864 is, however and you'll eventually be signing one of those, so what's the diff?

Well the reason is not really important, it was just that me and the co-sponsor had noticed it . We questioned as to why everryone is saying that it is "Not" legally binding, but the form (I 134) itself stated "This Is Legally Binding". So I and my co-sponsor were questioning it as to why everyone is saying it is not and the form is saying it is. And Yes we are both aware of the Legal Binding of the I 864.

I never have figured why they make you do a I-134 for K visas and not just do a I-864 one time.

Plus the I-134 needs to be notarized and the I-864 doesn't. ?????

You think that would make the I-134 "more" legal.

Bottomline is I just did what the "Man" said.

What does it legally bind one to do?

The I-864 legally binds the sponsor to repay the government for certain benefits the Alien may receive. The I-134 does not.

Effect on the sponsor: The Affidavit of support form I-134 is not legally binding on the sponsor. This means that neither the sponsored immigrant nor the government can sue the sponsor to recover the cost of public benefits paid to the sponsored immigrant.

I concur, the I-134 has no legal teeth. The I-864 does.

Ok, now that I have aggraavated you, you are really gonna wnat to slap me around a bit now. I looked up the form and was reading through t agian, and you were right (which I did not doubt you, I was more or less curious) and I was the one who read it wrong, deeeer, no big DERRRRRR to me, Sorry. Maybe you can answer me one more thing (providing I have not gotten to much under your skin already. In the I 134, it says (not exact words) that the person is willing to deposit a bond so that government is assured that the person they are co-sponsoring will not become a Public Charge. My question is...... Is this something that I would volunteerily be able to do so that I would not have to have a co-sponsor?? I could just deposit a bond for them?? If so how would you go about doing it and how much would it be?? Thank you in advance, WJR

I don't know. I've never heard of the affidavit being used in any other way but to satisfy a Consular officer that the applicant would not become a public charge.
