  • Be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or U.S. national
  • Have an income of at least 125% of the poverty level*; and
  • Be domiciled in the United States (or its territories).

When does the sponsor’s obligation to support end?

  • The beneficiary has worked 40 quarters (10 years)
  • The beneficiary has become a U.S. citizen
  • The beneficiary permanently leaves the U.S.
  • is deported and returns under a different sponsor
  • The beneficiary dies

Related form: I-864, AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT UNDER SECTION 213A OF THE INA

Sponsor’s residence: 48 Contiguous States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam:

Becoming a US citizen entails specific rights, duties, and the following benefits: consular protection outside the United States; ability to sponsor relatives living abroad; ability to invest in the US real property without triggering additional taxes; transmitting US citizenship to children; protection from deportation and others. U.S. law permits multiple citizenship. A citizen of another country naturalized as a U.S. citizen may retain his previous citizenship

Igor Litvak is an outstanding lawyer in New York, and I am beyond impressed with his level of professionalism and expertise. I recently had the privilege of working with him on a complex legal matter, and his knowledge, dedication, and attention to detail were simply unparalleled. From our initial consultation to the resolution of my case, Mr. Litvak went above and beyond to ensure that I understood all aspects of the legal process and was always kept up to date on the status of my case. He provided sound advice, was always available to answer any questions, and took a personalized approach to my legal needs. Mr. Litvak is not only a brilliant attorney, but he is also an exceptional communicator and an empathetic advocate. He is a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients and their well-being, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services. If you want an attorney who is not only knowledgeable, but also compassionate, diligent, and committed to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients, then look no further than Mr. Litvak. He is simply the best.
