Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, is a document that the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident sponsor signs to accept financial responsibility for the applicant who is coming to live in the United States. The purpose of the form is to prove that the intending immigrant has adequate means of financial support and is unlikely to become a public charge.

By signing the form, the sponsor is agreeing to use their resources, if necessary, to financially support the beneficiary and any dependent(s). It is a legally binding contract between the sponsor and the U.S. government. If the beneficiary and/or dependents receive any designated federal, state, or local means-tested public benefits, under U.S. law the agency providing the benefit can request reimbursement from the sponsor.
