Were you asked to be a co-sponsor for a Green Card application? You’ve come to just the right place! In this article, we will go over co-sponsorship for an Affidavit of Support and how to know if you qualify for I-864A sponsorship.
Also called an “Affidavit of Support,” Form I-864 is the contract between a petitioner (sponsor) and the U.S. government in which the sponsor must show they have enough income to claim financial responsibility over the beneficiary (relative). This contract, submitted to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), helps to ensure that immigration applicants won’t need to rely on government assistance in the future.
This form does not expire, but the financial obligation ends if the person being sponsored:
Additionally, another crucial requirement is that the sponsor must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) living in the U.S.
Form I-864A is officially known as a “Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member.” If a sponsor’s household member agrees with the main sponsor to contribute financially to the immigration applicant’s finances, I-864A must be attached to the main I-864 and submitted to USCIS. If approved, the I-864A household member and sponsor will jointly have financial responsibility over the beneficiary.
Form I-864P contains annual Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support as determined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). I-864P outlines the financial threshold for sponsors. The guidelines show the minimum income that someone needs to have in order to sponsor the beneficiary of a petition based on the sponsor’s household size and geographic location. If I-864A is approved, the primary sponsor and co-sponsor may combine their income to meet the financial requirement.
