Instructions For Affidavit Of Support Under Section 213a Of The Ina (Form I-864ez) (Page 3 of 11) in pdf

NOTE: Do not complete Form I-865 at the same time that you complete Form I-864EZ. You should complete

and submit Form I-865 to USCIS only when the address you indicated on the original Form I-864EZ has changed. A

sponsor who fails to submit Form I-865 within 30 days of a change of address may be fined. Please see Form I-865

for further directions on filing the Sponsor’s Change of Address.

This requirement does not relieve a sponsor who is a lawful permanent resident from notifying USCIS of his or her

new address within 10 days of moving from his or her previous residence. For information on filing a change of

address go to the USCIS Web site at

or contact the USCIS National Customer Service

Center at 1-800-375-5283. For TTY (deaf or hard of hearing) call: 1-800-767-1833.
