Form I-864 (09/19/11) Y Page 6

Please note that, by signing this Form I-864, you agree to assume certain specific obligations under the Immigration and

Nationality Act and other Federal laws. The following paragraphs describe those obligations. Please read the following

information carefully before you sign the Form I-864. If you do not understand the obligations, you may wish to consult

an attorney or accredited representative.

Part 8. Sponsor's Contract.

If you sign a Form I-864 on behalf of any person (called the "intending immigrant") who is applying for an immigrant

visa or for adjustment of status to a permanent resident, and that intending immigrant submits the Form I-864 to the U.S.

Government with his or her application for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status, under section 213A of the

Immigration and Nationality Act these actions create a contract between you and the U. S. Government. The intending

immigrant's becoming a permanent resident is the "consideration" for the contract.

Under this contract, you agree that, in deciding whether the intending immigrant can establish that he or she is not

inadmissible to the United States as an alien likely to become a public charge, the U.S. Government can consider your

income and assets to be available for the support of the intending immigrant.

What is the Legal Effect of My Signing a Form I-864?

You cannot be made to sign a Form 1-864 if you do not want to do so. But if you do not sign the Form I-864, the

intending immigrant may not be able to become a permanent resident in the United States.

What If I choose Not to Sign a Form I-864?

If an intending immigrant becomes a permanent resident in the United States based on a Form I-864 that you have signed,

then until your obligations under the Form I-864 terminate, your income and assets may be considered ("deemed") to be

available to that person, in determining whether he or she is eligible for certain Federal means-tested public benefits and

also for State or local means-tested public benefits, if the State or local government's rules provide for consideration

("deeming”) of your income and assets as available to the person.

What Does Signing the Form I-864 Require Me to do?

If an intending immigrant becomes a permanent resident in the United States based on a Form I-864 that you have signed,

then, until your obligations under the Form I-864 terminate, you must:

Provide the intending immigrant any support necessary to maintain him or her at an income that is at least 125 percent

of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for his or her household size (100 percent if you are the petitioning sponsor and are

on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and the person is your husband, wife, unmarried child under 21 years old.)

Notify USCIS of any change in your address, within 30 days of the change, by filing Form I-865.

What Other Consequences Are There?

Contract continued on following page.

All the factual statements in this affidavit of support are true and correct.

No longer has lawful permanent resident status, and has departed the United States;

Form I-864 (09/19/11) Y Page 7

If you are sued, and the court enters a judgment against you, the person or agency that sued you may use any legally

permitted procedures for enforcing or collecting the judgment. You may also be required to pay the costs of collection,

including attorney fees.

If a Federal, State or local agency, or a private agency provides any covered means-tested public benefit to the person who

becomes a permanent resident based on the Form I-864 that you signed, the agency may ask you to reimburse them for the

amount of the benefits they provided. If you do not make the reimbursement, the agency may sue you for the amount that

the agency believes you owe.

If you do not file a properly completed Form I-865 within 30 days of any change of address, USCIS may impose a civil

fine for your failing to do so.

Becomes a U.S. citizen;

When Will These Obligations End?

Has worked, or can be credited with, 40 quarters of coverage under the Social Security Act;

Your obligations under a Form I-864 will end if the person who becomes a permanent resident based on a Form I-864 that

you signed:

Becomes subject to removal, but applies for and obtains in removal proceedings a new grant of adjustment of status,

based on a new affidavit of support, if one is required; or

Dies.

Note that divorce does not terminate your obligations under this Form I-864.

If you do not provide sufficient support to the person who becomes a permanent resident based on the Form I-864 that you

signed, that person may sue you for this support.

What If I Do Not Fulfill My Obligations?

certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that:

Your obligations under a Form I-864 also end if you die. Therefore, if you die, your Estate will not be required to take

responsibility for the person's support after your death. Your Estate may, however, be responsible for any support that

you owed before you died.

I have read and I understand each of the obligations described in Part 8, and I agree, freely and without any

mental reservation or purpose of evasion, to accept each of those obligations in order to make it possible for the

immigrants indicated in Part 3 to become permanent residents of the United States;

I agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any Federal or State court that has subject matter jurisdiction of a

lawsuit against me to enforce my obligations under this Form I-864;
