When and how do I file the affidavit of support? You do not need to file it with your I-130 petition. When the person reaches the front of the line to immigrate based on your I-130 petition, he or she will have to submit the affidavit of support with an application for an immigrant visa or permanent residence.
Most family-based immigrants and some employment-based immigrants use this form to show they have adequate means of financial support and are not likely to rely on the U.S. government for financial support.
The following are six critical sections that must be included: Title. This is either your name (“Affidavit of Jane Doe”) or the specific case information. Statement of identity. The next paragraph tells the court about yourself. Statement of truth. Statement of facts. Closing statement of truth. Sign and notarize.
134, Declaration of Financial Support.
Form I-134 is a promise to financially support a person applying for a temporary visa to the United States, namely a travel visa or a K-1 fiancé visa. Form I-864 is a promise to financially support a person applying for a green card in order to live in the United States permanently.
The petitioner/financial sponsor must complete and sign the appropriate Affidavit of Support form. Incomplete forms, including those missing pages, will not be accepted. The completed forms and supporting documents must be submitted in CEAC to NVC with the visa applicant's civil documents.
An Affidavit of Support, also called the Form I-864, is a document an individual signs to accept financial responsibility for the applicant who is coming to live in the United States. The person who signs the Affidavit of Support is also called the “sponsor.”
