有关Affidavit of Support (I-864) 的申请

By: Beth Robertie, Esq. 在提交调整身份 (I-485) 申请时，部分人士是需要同时进行Affidavit of Support (I-864) 申请的。以下是有关什么人需要递交I-864的信息，以供大家参考： Not every intending immigrant who files an Application to Adjust Status (I-485) needs to file an Affidavit of Support (I-864) with it. In fact, most employment-based visa applicants do not need to file an I-864. The following immigrants are required by law to file an I-864 with their I-485: · All immediate relatives of US citizens; · All family-based preference immigrants; and · Employment-based preference immigrants in cases only where a US citizen or lawful permanent resident relative filed the immigrant visa petition or such relative has significant ownership interest (5% or more) in the entity that filed the petition. For employment-based visa applicants, that means that there is no need to file an I-864 unless you work for a family member in some capacity. Furthermore, if the applicant can establish on the basis of Social Security Administration records that he or she has already worked or can be credited with having worked 40 quarters (ten years) of covered employment, then under a new rule promulgated by USCIS they do not have to file the I-864. In its place, such intending immigrants should file an I-864W, which is an Intending Immigrant’s I-864 Exemption. 本文由范毅禹律师事务所提供 本律师事务所精办各类劳工应聘及专业移民申请 (包括H-1，L-1，EB-1，EB-2，NIW，劳工卡，绿卡等申请)。所有申请由多位美籍律师及拥有15年经验的范毅禹律师亲自处理，我所并特设中英移民网站。内有最新移民新闻资讯及由律师主持的移民问答集，欢迎读者流览查询。 www.fan-law.com (Chinese) www.fanuslaw.com (English) CALIFORNIA : Fan, Fitzpatrick & Thompson, LLP. 370 E.
