Hello everyone,

My friend's petition (through a spouse) has reached the NVC. I was wondering if the Affidavit of Support form (I-864) can be filled by someone else other than the petitioner (and not a relative)? In other words, can I file it for him even though I'm not a relative or the petitioner?

Thanks.

Yes - but the primary sponsor will still fill out the 864 (in addition to yours).

(as long as you meet the requirements - 18+, USC/LPR domiciled in the US, income sufficient)

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

So the main petitioner (my friend's spouse) still has to fill out the I-864, correct?

Thanks

18+, USC/LPR domiciled in the US, income sufficient - are all important.

Your friend's spouse will file I-864

You will file I-864 too.

But you (co-sponsor) will have to 'entirely' overcome the poverty line threshold for the combined household.
