Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Hello:

Yes, you do have to file this I-864. You must meet a minimum income requirement in order to sponsor an intending immigrant. This will depend on the number of dependents you may have, as well as on the number of any previous immigrants you have sponsored. If you do not meet the minimum income requirement, you may find a co-sponsor to help you to qualify. They will have to fill out paperwork as well and provide their income tax return.

Should you need assistance with these forms, or want to discuss your case further, kindly call me at (714) 288 0610, or email me at [email protected]. I offer a FREE initial consultation and payment plans.

The petitioner for a family based petitioner, or business petitioner if the person has more than a 5% ownership interest, must file the I-864 Affidavit of Support. Occasionally, additional sponsors are required.

If you have other questions, feel free to write and I will answer. Until then, please don't rely on this advice. More specific information is necessary to form a complete opinion. I'm here: [email protected], 818 609 1953 or http://www.yardum-hunter.com.

Thank you for your consideration.
