General information, not legal or tax advice
This page is general information about a USCIS form. Immigration outcomes can be life-changing and error-sensitive — for advice on your case, consult a licensed immigration attorney or DOJ-accredited representative. AttachKit fills the PDF; you remain responsible for what's submitted.
- How much income do I need to sponsor?
- 125% of the federal poverty guidelines for your household size, including the intending immigrant. The current numbers are at uscis.gov/i-864p. If you don't meet it, you can use a joint sponsor.
- What about my taxes for the last 3 years?
- You'll need to attach tax transcripts or returns separately — AttachKit helps you draft the I-864 itself, not the supporting docs.
- Is the I-864 legally binding forever?
- The affidavit is enforceable until the immigrant becomes a US citizen, has 40 quarters of work credits, leaves the country permanently, or dies. Consult an immigration attorney before signing if you're unsure.
