Original Date Announced
September 29, 2020USCIS requests comments on proposed substantive and non-substantive revisions to Form I-134, Declaration of Financial Support. The name of the form will be changed from “Affidavit of Support” to “Declaration of Financial Support” to avoid confusion with Form I-864. In addition, USCIS proposes to add new questions relating to the beneficiary's financial information and to expand the statement and certification sections, among other things. USCIS is proposing that certain individuals applying for parole based on urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit filed on Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, must submit Form I-134 with Form I-131. The Form I-134 may also be filed on behalf of a B, F, or M nonimmigrant requesting extension of stay or change of status. [ID #1074]

July 24, 202407.24.2024 - Revision of a Currently Approved Collection: Declaration of Financial Support
DHS and USCIS submit an information collection request allowing for an additional 30-day public comment period of revisions to Form I-134, Declaration of Financial Support. Changes include adding additional immigration status categories and revising language in the form that asks about dependents, income, and previous I-134 submissions. The information collection notice was previously published in the Federal Register on April 16, 2024, allowing for a 60-day public comment period. Two comments were received during that time. Comments will now be accepted until August 23, 2024.
These proposed changes do not directly address the I-134 changes made by the Tump administration as noted in the original policy entry.
