Form I 134 Affidavit Of Support

Use a 1115 0062 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What Form I-134 means for sponsors

Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, is a sponsor’s signed statement about financial support for a beneficiary in a U.S. immigration matter. The sponsor supplies identifying information, household details, income, assets, liabilities, and other requested financial information, then signs the completed form for submission under applicable USCIS instructions. signNow can help prepare the PDF, place fields, route it to the sponsor, capture the electronic signature, and preserve the signed document with an audit trail. USCIS filing requirements remain separate from the signing platform.

Who benefits from Form I-134 workflows

Immigration attorneys use Form I-134 to collect a sponsor’s financial statement, coordinate beneficiary case materials, and preserve a signed PDF with an audit trail for organized USCIS submissions and client records.
U.S. sponsors use the form to provide requested identity, household, income, asset, and liability information without arranging an in-person signing appointment with the filing team.

Immigration professionals

Immigration attorneys and accredited representatives prepare sponsor affidavits, collect signatures, and organize supporting financial evidence for USCIS-related matters.

U.S. sponsors

U.S. sponsors complete personal financial information, review beneficiary details, sign the affidavit, and provide the resulting record to the filing team.

Best practices for Form I-134

Accurate sponsor information and a complete signing record reduce avoidable corrections before Form I-134 reaches USCIS.

Confirm current form details

Use the current Form I-134 edition and compare every requested field with the sponsor’s supporting financial evidence. Confirm names, addresses, household information, income, assets, and liabilities before sending the document for signature.

Match financial evidence

Enter financial figures exactly as supported by the sponsor’s records, including annual income and asset values. Avoid unexplained estimates, blank required fields, or mismatched amounts that could require correction before USCIS review.

Assign the correct signer

Route signature fields only to the intended sponsor and require review before signing. Keep the completed form and related evidence together so the submission record remains understandable and attributable.

Preserve the submission record

Export the completed PDF and audit trail after signing. Restrict access to authorized immigration staff and preserve the record according to the organization’s documented retention policy and applicable state requirements.

Troubleshooting Form I-134 signing

Resolve signing, authentication, consent, plan, and record-handling questions before using the completed affidavit in a USCIS filing.

signNow’s Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, mobile apps, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. Upload Form I-134, place fields, and send it for signature; legal acceptance still depends on intent, consent, attribution, and record retention under ESIGN and UETA.

Business Premium adds bulk send, but Form I-134 should still be reviewed individually when sponsor-specific financial information differs. Use separate recipient data and fields for each affidavit rather than reusing values that could belong to another sponsor.

The Enterprise plan adds advanced signer authentication, including conditional and formula fields. For a sponsor whose identity requires stronger verification, configure the available authentication controls and retain the resulting audit trail with the signed affidavit.

signNow’s seven-day free trial requires no credit card, while paid Business pricing is $8 per user monthly when billed annually. Confirm the plan before sending Form I-134 because subscription limits and overage terms may apply.

For consumer-facing electronic records, ESIGN requires disclosure of the right to receive paper records, access to the electronic format, and procedures for withdrawing consent under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Configure the disclosure before requesting an electronic signature.

A signed Form I-134 does not replace USCIS filing instructions or prove eligibility by itself. Export the final PDF and audit trail from signNow, then follow the applicable USCIS process and retain supporting financial evidence separately.
