in the United States based on a Form I-864 that you have
signed, then, until your obligations under Form I-864 terminate,
you must:
Part 8. Sponsor's Contract, Statement, Contact
Information, Declaration, Certification, and
Signature
NOTE: Read the Penalties section of the Form I-864 Instructions before completing this part.
Sponsor's Contract
Please note that, by signing this Form I-864, you agree to assume certain specific obligations under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and other Federal laws. The following paragraphs describe those obligations. Please read the following information carefully before you sign Form I-864. If you do not understand the obligations, you may wish to consult an attorney or accredited representative.
What is the Legal Effect of My Signing Form I-864?
If you sign Form I-864 on behalf of any person (called the intending immigrant) who is applying for an immigrant visa or for adjustment of status to a lawful permanent resident, and that intending immigrant submits Form I-864 to the U.S. Government with his or her application for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status, under INA section 213A, these actions create a contract between you and the U.S. Government. The intending immigrant becoming a lawful permanent resident is the consideration for the contract.
Under this contract, you agree that, in deciding whether the intending immigrant can establish that he or she is not inadmissible to the United States as a person likely to become a public charge, the U.S. Government can consider your income and assets as available for the support of the intending immigrant.
A.Provide the intending immigrant any support necessary to maintain him or her at an income that is at least 125 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for his or her household size (100 percent if you are the petitioning sponsor and are on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces or U.S. Coast Guard, and the person is your husband, wife, or unmarried child under 21 years of age); and
B.Notify U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of any change in your address, within 30 days of the change, by filing Form I-865.
What Other Consequences Are There?
If an intending immigrant becomes a lawful permanent resident in the United States based on a Form I-864 that you have signed, then, until your obligations under Form I-864 terminate, the U.S. Government may consider (deem) your income and assets as available to that person, in determining whether he or she is eligible for certain Federal means-tested public benefits and also for state or local means-tested public benefits, if the state or local government's rules provide for consideration (deeming) of your income and assets as available to the person.
This provision does not apply to public benefits specified in section 403(c) of the Welfare Reform Act such as emergency Medicaid, short-term, non-cash emergency relief; services provided under the National School Lunch and Child Nutrition Acts; immunizations and testing and treatment for communicable diseases; and means-tested programs under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
What If I Do Not Fulfill My Obligations?
If you do not provide sufficient support to the person who becomes a lawful permanent resident based on a Form I-864 that you signed, that person may sue you for this support.
Page 6 of 10
Signature (continued)
If a Federal, state, local, or private agency provided any covered means-tested public benefit to the person who becomes a lawful permanent resident based on a Form I-864 that you signed, the agency may ask you to reimburse them for the amount of the benefits they provided. If you do not make the reimbursement, the agency may sue you for the amount that the agency believes you owe.
If you are sued, and the court enters a judgment against you, the person or agency that sued you may use any legally permitted procedures for enforcing or collecting the judgment. You may also be required to pay the costs of collection, including attorney fees.
If you do not file a properly completed Form I-865 within 30 days of any change of address, USCIS may impose a civil fine for your failing to do so.
When Will These Obligations End?
Your obligations under a Form I-864 that you signed will end if the person who becomes a lawful permanent resident based on that affidavit:
A.Becomes a U.S. citizen;
B.Has worked, or can receive credit for, 40 quarters of coverage under the Social Security Act;
C.No longer has lawful permanent resident status and has departed the United States;
D.Is subject to removal, but applies for and obtains, in removal proceedings, a new grant of adjustment of status, based on a new affidavit of support, if one is required; or
E.Dies.
NOTE: Divorce does not terminate your obligations under Form I-864.
Your obligations under a Form I-864 that you signed also end if you die. Therefore, if you die, your estate is not required to take responsibility for the person's support after your death. However, your estate may owe any support that you accumulated before you died.

The USCIS I-864 form, known as the Affidavit of Support, shares similarities with the IRS Form 1040, which is the individual income tax return. Both documents require personal financial information and demonstrate the financial capability of the sponsor. The I-864 focuses on the sponsor's ability to support an immigrant financially, while the Form 1040 provides a comprehensive overview of an individual's income, deductions, and tax obligations. Both forms are essential in assessing financial stability, with the I-864 ensuring that the immigrant will not become a public charge and the 1040 confirming the sponsor’s income level for tax purposes.
Another document comparable to the I-864 is the USCIS I-130 form, Petition for Alien Relative. While the I-864 is concerned with the financial support of the immigrant, the I-130 establishes the relationship between the sponsor and the immigrant. Both forms are integral parts of the immigration process, with the I-130 serving as the first step in obtaining a visa, and the I-864 ensuring that the immigrant has adequate financial backing once they arrive in the United States. Together, they form a crucial foundation for family-based immigration applications.
The I-864 also resembles the USCIS I-485 form, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. The I-485 is used by individuals already in the U.S. who wish to adjust their status to that of a lawful permanent resident. Similar to the I-864, the I-485 requires detailed personal information, including financial data, to assess eligibility for permanent residency. While the I-864 focuses specifically on the sponsor's financial commitment, the I-485 encompasses a broader range of criteria, including the applicant’s immigration history and eligibility for adjustment of status.
Lastly, the Social Security Administration's Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, bears some resemblance to the I-864 in that both require personal identification and financial information. The SS-5 is used to apply for a Social Security number, which is crucial for various financial and legal transactions in the U.S. Like the I-864, the SS-5 helps establish a person’s identity and eligibility for benefits. Both documents play vital roles in the integration of immigrants into the U.S. system, ensuring they have the necessary resources and identification to thrive.
After gathering the necessary information and documents, you are ready to fill out the USCIS I-864 form. This form is important for demonstrating your ability to financially support an immigrant. Follow these steps to ensure you complete the form accurately.
Once you have completed the form, review it for any errors or missing information. After ensuring everything is correct, you can submit the form along with any required supporting documents to the appropriate USCIS office.
The USCIS I-864 form, also known as the Affidavit of Support, is a crucial document in the immigration process. It demonstrates that a sponsor has the financial means to support an immigrant. Along with the I-864, several other forms and documents are commonly required to ensure a complete application. Below is a list of these documents, each serving a specific purpose in the immigration process.
Each of these documents plays a vital role in the immigration process. Ensuring that all required forms are accurately completed and submitted can significantly impact the outcome of an application. Proper preparation can lead to a smoother experience for both the sponsor and the immigrant.
Inaccurate Income Reporting: Applicants often misreport their income. It's crucial to ensure that all sources of income are included, such as salaries, bonuses, and any additional earnings. Missing even a small amount can lead to delays or denials.
Failure to Provide Supporting Documents: Many individuals neglect to attach necessary documents. Required documents include tax returns, W-2 forms, and pay stubs. Without these, the application may be considered incomplete.
Incorrectly Calculating Household Size: Some applicants mistakenly calculate their household size. It’s essential to include all individuals who will be living in the household, as this can impact the income requirement.
Not Using the Correct Version of the Form: People sometimes use outdated versions of the I-864 form. Always check for the most current version on the USCIS website to avoid processing issues.
Overlooking Signature Requirements: Signatures are often missed or improperly completed. Both the sponsor and the immigrant must sign the form where required, or it may be rejected.
Ignoring Instructions: Applicants frequently overlook the instructions provided with the form. Each section has specific guidelines that must be followed. Ignoring these can lead to errors that complicate the application process.
When filling out the USCIS I-864 form, it is important to follow certain guidelines to ensure accuracy and compliance. Here are some essential dos and don'ts:
