You may sign an Affidavit of Support to sponsor (promise to provide financial support) someone who is coming to live in the United States permanently. A sponsor must:

• Be at least 18 years old;
• Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident; and

General instruction by USCIS

A Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, must be filed by a person who has petitioned for his/her relative’s permanent residency in the United States. If the beneficiary is eligible to apply for his/her residency in the United States then the form and supporting documents should be filed with the relative’s green card application. If the beneficiary is applying for his/her green card abroad he/she should bring the application to his/her consular interview. If income of another household member is being used by the petitioning sponsor to qualify, then a separate Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, must be included for each household member who is accepting legal responsibility to support the relative.

U.S. federal income tax returns for the most recent tax year and proof of current income for all the sponsors must be included. An explanation must be provided if the sponsor was not required to file a tax return for any year. If the tax returns and evidence of income are not included with the form, the relative’s application will be delayed.
