Worthington · Columbus Metro
Why this Form I-134A page is written for Worthington
one of the largest Somali populations in the United States outside Minneapolis, with growing Bhutanese, Burmese, and Latino communities — and Worthington, with a population near 14,786, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
Columbus Metro families typically come to us with a mix of family-petition, green-card, work-permit, and naturalization paperwork — sometimes for multiple family members at once. Our Franklin County clients receive a complete packet review: every signature checked, every translation certified, every supporting document indexed before the envelope is sealed.
Worthington sits in Columbus Metro, driven by financial services, insurance, healthcare, and the new wave of tech investment around the Intel campus and the Columbus Region Logistics Council corridor. Franklin County, where Worthington is located, is a mid-sized Ohio community where most county document services are available locally, though some federal appointments still require driving to the regional field office.
easy I-71 and Route 161 access keeps drive times short from anywhere inside the outerbelt. From Worthington (ZIP 43085), the trip is roughly 5 miles each way.
The 5-mile drive from Worthington (~12 min) is short enough for a midweek appointment but far enough that we always plan to finish core packet work in one sitting. We also serve families across the rest of Columbus Metro, where many of our Worthington clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Form I-134A and who needs to file it?+
Form I-134A is filed by a U.S.-based supporter who agrees to financially support a beneficiary applying for humanitarian parole — such as programs for Ukrainian nationals (Uniting for Ukraine) or nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, or Venezuela (CHNV programs). The supporter must demonstrate they can financially support the parolee during their stay.
What income level is required to be a supporter on Form I-134A?+
USCIS uses the federal poverty guidelines to assess financial ability. Generally, you should be able to show income at or above 100% of the federal poverty level for your household size plus the beneficiary. Asal Multi Services can review your financial documents and help you present your support evidence correctly.
How long does I-134A processing take for parole programs?+
Processing times vary by program. For the Uniting for Ukraine program, USCIS has processed many applications within 2–8 weeks. CHNV parole program processing can take longer. Asal Multi Services stays current on processing times and can advise you on realistic expectations for your specific program.
Can I support multiple beneficiaries with separate I-134A forms?+
Yes. You must file a separate Form I-134A for each beneficiary you wish to support, even if they are members of the same family. Each form requires its own online submission through your myUSCIS account. Asal Multi Services can assist you with preparing and submitting multiple I-134A forms.
