What document must a financial sponsor typically submit for parole applications?

  1. Form I-130

  2. Form I-864

  3. Form I-134

  4. Form DS-260

The correct answer is: Form I-134

A financial sponsor applying for parole must typically submit Form I-134, which is known as the Declaration of Financial Support. This form is used to demonstrate that the sponsor has adequate financial means to support the applicant during their stay in the U.S., ensuring that the applicant will not become a public charge. Form I-134 focuses specifically on the sponsor's finances and is used in various humanitarian situations, including parole cases, to assure the government of the sponsor’s ability to cover living expenses for the duration of the parole. It helps establish that the individual's needs will be met while present in the U.S. Other forms listed are associated with different immigration processes. For instance, Form I-130 is a petition for an alien relative, which is not specifically for financial support but for establishing a familial relationship. Form I-864, known as the Affidavit of Support, is required in family-based immigration and some employment-based cases but does not apply to parole applications. Form DS-260 is the immigrant visa application for individuals applying through consular processing, which does not pertain to the parole application process.
