Lockbourne · Central Ohio
Why this Form I-134A page is written for Lockbourne
Lockbourne sits in Central Ohio, small-town main streets, county-seat government employers, and increasingly residential growth from Columbus-area buyers seeking lower cost of living. Central Ohio County, where Lockbourne is located, is a rural community where document services typically require a drive to the county seat or to a regional metro.
In Central Ohio, the most common immigration paperwork we prepare ties to family unity — bringing spouses, parents, and children through the right form sequence in the right order. For Lockbourne residents, we organize the packet so identity records, USCIS forms, civil documents, translations, and supporting evidence all match before anything is mailed.
a smaller-town demographic with growing immigrant families who have moved out from Columbus for school district choices and housing — and Lockbourne, with a population near 0, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
easy state-route access into Columbus — typically a single-highway drive with no transfers needed. From Lockbourne (ZIP central Ohio), the trip is roughly 30 miles each way.
At 30 miles (~45 min drive), Lockbourne is close enough that most clients can return for original-document pickup if needed, but we structure the work to avoid that whenever possible. We also serve families across the rest of Central Ohio, where many of our Lockbourne 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.
