Title: ●Enhancing the Integrity of the Affidavit of Support | |
Abstract:
The affidavit of support is required for most family-based immigrants and some employment-based intending immigrants to show that they have adequate means of financial support and are not likely to become a public charge. Affidavits of support are contracts between the sponsor that completes the affidavit and the U.S. Government, and on the affidavit the sponsor must show and attest that they have sufficient income and/or assets to maintain the intending immigrants and the rest of their household. The affidavit is the agreement by the sponsor that they will use their resources to support the immigrants as agreed if it becomes necessary. DHS intends to update regulations at 8 CFR 213a to enhance the integrity of the affidavit of support contract between sponsors and the U.S. Government. |
