Hello everyone,

I am trying to get a relative to agree to become my co-sponser, but things do not look good. So I am looking at asking another relative to agree to enter into a Contract between Household Members I-864a. That's just a little status on my situation.

My question is I keep seeing this statement occassionally, but I can't find any details on it. Follows - An expression of willingness to deposit a bond, if necessary, with the Immigration and Naturalization Service to guarantee that the applicant will not become a public charge in the United States.

Is this Bond in addition to an I-134 or a possible option as opposed to filing the I-134 without a co-sponsor? If so, is there a baseline or percentage invloved in determining the amount of the Bond?

Thanks in advance for any info,

Thanks again Jim for letting me know the site shortens the URL's. Unfortunately, I had already done a copy and paste on two other links:

Do you have any idea how I can determine the full URL? I can't find the Post I copied them from and could use them as I am having a very hard time convincing my would be co-sponsor to sign.

Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks, Kevin

Well, thanks again Jim, I did have to read your reply twice. But I do underestand what your saying, learn something new everday.

Since it's Tuesday blast-from-the-past day, here's the skinny in a thread with some input from two who rocked.

Hey Johnny,

Thanks for all the great and accurate info. on my question. Is it possible to resend this link I'm unable to open, error message say's it is corrupted.

I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Wow, looks like I missed agood discussion on my Affidavit of Support, Now here is my take on it after a great response.

First, the two biggest idiots in the world can make a binding contract by each one signing an agreement. That means nothing in a Court of Law, that's why the Court ssystem is full. The I-134, is not even required to be Notarized.

I find it hard to believe that after a Marriage, which is a written contract, and the wife decides to go for a Divorce and it is granted, Divorce is another written contract which cancels all legal obligations between the two, except for property and depending on what state you live in Alimony. It would seem to be after a seperation of ties at that degree, you or your co-sponsor have any legal responsiblity for the beneficiary. Why?? She is a resident.

If the split happens before residency, and I may be wrong here, she faces deportation. She walked away from the marriage, that alone I woild think breaks the contract right there.

Lastly, and yes I have read read ALL the forms with an OPEN mind, and the I-134 does say she must meet the requirements by being "Means Tested" to become a Public charge. We are talking 3 main categories here, not 15 or 20. SSI, very unlikey she is disabled and able to prove it, a 2-3 year process while paying an attorney. 2nd TANF, she will not qualify for this unles she is in bad fiancial shape and she MUST have at least one kid. Lastly, Food Stamps, again you have have to meet the requirements, you can't walk in and just ask, and when you say what your previous household income was, but you aksed for a Divorce,That is a red flag. You better go in there with some very bad tax records and bank statements among more.

This issue got danced around a lot, it was not about whether I could support her, my co-sponsor is not worried about that. She is wondering, if there are ither circunstances involved, sucy as , would a co-sponsor be liable for providing a place to live for the beneficiary under any circunstance.

Again, on that binding agreement, I go with Johnny. .It's nothing but a Red Tape Guideling, there are millions of mexicans here illeagaly and you don't see the Feds coming after them in Riot gear...

Hello,

I need help, I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere and it is not on the USCIS web site, except for the vague instructions on the Form.

I have only one person who can sign as a co-sponsor. She is very reluctant, as she does not want to become responsible for my spouse.

So my questions are. What actually constitutes becoming a Public charge? As long as Fiance' / wife is with me, she will have no need for Welfare / Govt. assistance.

If we did split before she became a resident, does she not face deportation?

If she leaves after she is a resident, that's her choice and wouldn't a divorce nullify the I-134?

And finally, She does not qualify for TANF, you have to have kids., she does not qualify for SSI as she has not disability of any kind, and if she chooses to leave, once again...that is her choice. So how coulf the co- sponsor be responsible in any of these cases to support her, unless we were still married and I financially fell on hard times?

From what i have gathered, this I-134, is a Tiger with no teeth and has no real Legal Standing in court. The form is not even notarized.

I'm just looking for good info. to tell my possible co-sponsor, to put her at ease and sign the form.

Any suggestions are welcome in advance.

Thanks,

Rose n' Kevin
