Instructions For Form I-864 - Affidavit Of Support Under Section 213a Of The Ina (Page 13 of 16) in pdf

The obligation also ends if you or the sponsored immigrant dies or if the sponsored immigrant ceases to be a lawful

permanent resident. Divorce does not end the sponsorship obligation.

Do I Need to Submit a Separate Affidavit for Each Family Member?

You must submit a Form I-864 affidavit of support for each intending immigrant you are sponsoring. You may submit

photocopies if you are sponsoring more than one intending immigrant listed on the same affidavit of support.

Separate affidavits of support are required for intending immigrants for whom different Form I-130, Form I-600, or

Form I-800 family-based petitions were filed. For instance, if you are sponsoring both parents, each will need an original

affidavit of support and accompanying documentation since you were required to submit separate Form I-130 visa

petitions for each parent. Often a spouse or minor children obtain visas or adjust status as dependents of a relative, based

on the same visa petition. If you are sponsoring such dependents, you only need to provide a photocopy of the original

Form I-864, as long as these dependents are immigrating at the same time as the principal immigrant or within six months

of the time he or she immigrates to the United States. You do not need to provide copies of the supporting documents for

each of the photocopied Form I-864s.
