Form I-864EZ. Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the Act

The I-864EZ, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the Act, is a simplified version of the I-864 Affidavit of Support. The form is used by sponsors who wish to show that they have the financial means to support an immigrant who is coming to the United States.

The form consists of several parts, including the sponsor's personal information, the immigrant's information, and a list of the sponsor's income and assets. The important fields to consider when compiling the form include the sponsor's income, the immigrant's information, and the sponsor's relationship to the immigrant.

The parties involved in the form are the sponsor and the immigrant. It is important to note that the sponsor must be a US citizen or permanent resident.

When compiling the form, data required includes the sponsor's personal information, the immigrant's information, and the sponsor's income and assets. Additionally, documents such as tax returns, pay stubs, and bank statements may be required to support the information provided in the form.

Application examples and use cases include sponsoring a family member for immigration to the United States, sponsoring a spouse for a green card, or sponsoring a fiancé(e) for a K-1 visa.

Benefits of the form include providing financial support for the immigrant, which can increase the chances of the immigrant being approved for a visa or green card. The form is also simpler and easier to fill out than the I-864 Affidavit of Support. However, challenges and risks include the sponsor being held financially responsible for the immigrant if they are unable to support themselves.

Related forms include the I-864 Affidavit of Support and the I-864A Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member. The I-864EZ is a simplified version of the I-864 Affidavit of Support and is used when the sponsor's income meets certain requirements.

The form affects the future of the participants by showing that the sponsor has the financial means to support the immigrant, which can increase the chances of the immigrant being approved for a visa or green card.

The form is submitted along with the immigrant's application for a visa or green card and is typically filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The form is stored in the USCIS system and can be accessed by the sponsor and immigrant if needed.
