i-864 payment made to?

[valentino 0]

Hi,

I'm a conditional resident. I would like to remove my joint sponsor from the past i-864 i submitted. I'm re-filing the i-864. My husband finally qualifies the income guideline. On the website, it is unclear who I make the payment to? It states that I should pay to the Department of State. What should I write on the check? Do they accept personal checks?

If you are in the US, you do not need to pay for the 864.

You cannot remove the sponsor, once the GC is given. It's basically a done deal.

You could call USCIS, via infopass, to see what your options are, but everything that I have seen indicates you cannot remove a sponsor other than the ways listed (you become an USC, you work 40 qtrs, you die, sponsor dies, you leave the US an abandon LPR status)

I am in the US however, on the website it states differently about the i-864. Here is what is listed on the USCIS.gov website:

"Although USCIS does not charge a fee for this form, the Department of State does charge a fee of $70 when the Affidavit of Support is reviewed domestically."

I want to know if I should write the payment of the check to : "Department of State"

Furthermore, I want to show that the petitioner has sufficient income. 2 years ago during the interview, I specifically asked to the officer that reviewed our application if I could make the petitioner the sole sponsor. She told me that it's fine as long as I submit another i-864 to them.

You cannot remove the co-sponser once a green card has been approved. You are SOL.
