I-864 Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA
The enforceable promise of financial support required in nearly every family-based green card case. The sponsor commits to keeping the immigrant above 125 percent of the federal poverty line and to repaying certain means-tested benefits. The obligation lasts until the immigrant naturalises, works 40 qualifying quarters, dies, or permanently leaves - divorce does not end it.
