Questions about I-134 Affidavit of Support/Visa
Hi,
A long time friend of mine is a US citizen, and we briefly heard about some kind of visa that the foreign individual can get while the US citizen sponsors him or her. The US citizen is required to have income of 35k or so a year, and he/she needs to prove it upon sponsoring the foreign individual.
Q1. Is this visa/sponsorship's official name I-134 Affidavit of Support?
Q1.2. If not, what is the official name?
Q2. If so, what steps do I need to take next in order to go ahead, ask his sponsorship and get visa/sponsorship?
Q3. Should I hire an immigration lawyer to handle this properly?
Q4. How long does this take usually?
