Affidavit Of Support

What is Affidavit Of Support?

An Affidavit of Support is a legal document that is intended to provide financial support to a person immigrating to the United States. It is typically required for family-based immigration cases or for certain employment-based immigration cases. By signing this document, the sponsor agrees to financially support the immigrant and ensure that they will not become a public charge.

What are the types of Affidavit Of Support?

There are two types of Affidavit of Support forms: Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA, and Form I-134, Affidavit of Support. The I-864 form is used for most family-based immigration cases and some employment-based immigration cases, while the I-134 form is used for nonimmigrant visa applicants.
