Affidavit of Support
The Affidavit of Support is a critical component of many immigration applications, serving as a legally binding commitment that an intending immigrant will have adequate financial support and will not become a public charge. MAS Immigrant Justice Center (MASIJC) provides careful, thorough assistance in preparing Form I-864, ensuring that every financial requirement is clearly met and properly documented.
This process involves more than simply completing a form. MASIJC works closely with sponsors to evaluate eligibility, calculate household size, and confirm that income meets the required federal poverty guidelines. We assist in gathering and organizing essential documentation, including tax returns, W-2s, employment verification, and proof of assets where necessary.
For cases where the primary sponsor does not meet the income threshold, MASIJC helps identify and prepare joint sponsors, ensuring that all legal obligations are fully understood and properly executed. We also address complex situations involving self-employment, fluctuating income, or prior sponsorship responsibilities.
Because Form I-864 creates an enforceable financial obligation, accuracy and clarity are essential. MASIJC ensures that each affidavit is prepared with precision to avoid delays, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), or denials that could jeopardize an immigration case.
At its core, the Affidavit of Support is about stability, demonstrating that individuals and families will have the financial foundation they need to build their lives in the United States. MASIJC approaches this process with both technical expertise and a commitment to helping families move forward with confidence and security.
