Urgent completion of the I-134 form for a humanitarian program participant

Urgent Filing of Form I-134: Humanitarian Support Under Uniting for Ukraine

In 2024, we were contacted by a U.S. citizen urgently seeking legal assistance to support his niece through the Uniting for Ukraine humanitarian program. The client needed to file Form I-134 (Declaration of Financial Support) within just a few days due to the fast-approaching deadline. Complicating the situation, the client lacked several standard financial documents typically required by USCIS.

Our legal team's main goal was to develop a legally sound and time-efficient strategy that would allow the client to submit a complete application package within 72 hours. Thanks to our experience with urgent immigration cases, we provided full support — from consultation to final submission — ensuring compliance with USCIS humanitarian requirements.

Key Legal Stages of Urgent I-134 Preparation and Filing

1. Initial Legal Assessment Within 24 Hours. We conducted an express legal audit of the client’s eligibility to act as a financial sponsor. This included verifying their immigration status, assessing income levels, and identifying any missing documentation. Legal risks related to the absence of current tax filings were identified and analyzed.
2. Alternative Documentation Strategy. Given the time-sensitive nature of the case, our team compiled legally valid alternative documents — including bank statements, letters from employers, proof of consistent income deposits, and residency documentation. We also drafted an explanation letter detailing the absence of IRS forms and providing legal justification.
3. Accurate Completion of Form I-134. All sections of the form were filled out carefully to reflect the client’s financial situation and ensure data consistency with attached documentation. Our lawyers ensured that the details about the beneficiary, financial obligations, and support commitments met all USCIS expectations.
4. Filing and Submission Support. We submitted the form via the appropriate online USCIS platform and monitored the delivery of supplemental documents. If necessary, we arranged for physical mail delivery using traceable methods.
5. Post-Filing Monitoring and Legal Advisory. After submission, we tracked the case status and prepared templates for responding to potential USCIS Requests for Evidence (RFEs). We also advised the client on next steps, including medical requirements, pre-travel preparation, and airport processing.

Case Study: Urgent Humanitarian Sponsorship for a Ukrainian Relative

Background: A U.S. citizen urgently wanted to sponsor his niece from Ukraine. She was still in a conflict zone, and humanitarian parole under U4U was the only immediate option. The client lacked recent tax filings, which could complicate his eligibility.

Attorney’s Actions:

• Initial legal consultation was conducted within 24 hours of the request, including eligibility screening.
• Alternative financial documents — employer letters, bank statements, and wage summaries — were collected and formatted.
• Form I-134 was completed and submitted online along with a legal explanation letter.
• Entire package was submitted within 72 hours of initial contact. USCIS accepted the documents without delays.
• The beneficiary received humanitarian parole approval within one week of filing.

Result: Through professional legal guidance and rapid coordination, the client successfully acted as a sponsor despite the lack of standard tax records and limited time. The beneficiary safely traveled to the U.S. under the Uniting for Ukraine program.
