You would be better off on an immigration forum then the city forum or at least make a new topic rather than bumping a 4 year old one..

This is laughable, here's what this person is asking of a complete stranger (from Form I-134 - Affidavit of Support):

"5. I am willing and able to receive, maintain, and support the person(s) named in item 3. I am ready and willing to deposit a bond, if necessary, to guarantee that such person(s) will not become a public charge during his or her stay in the United States, or to guarantee that the above named person(s) will maintain his or her nonimmigrant status, if admitted temporarily, and will depart prior to the expiration of his or her authorized stay in the United States.

6. I understand that:
a. Form I-134 is an "undertaking" under section 213 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, and I may be sued if the person(s) named in item 3 becomes a public charge after admission to the United States;

...
"

Who in their right mind would sing off on that for anyone but a close family member or VERY close friend?

You don't understand, they're a CHRISTIAN family. So that makes it ok.
