Financial Support for Parents

[usmanster 0]

Hello

I am currently beginning the process of petitioning to bring my parents to the USA as I just received my citizenship.

I have 2 questions about the form I-864.

a) Do I submit this along with the I-130 Forms for each of my parents? If not, when do I submit them?

b) How much support do I need to prove. My parents are quite poor and I will be taking care of them but I need to know if there is a certain figure or percentage I need to prove?

Any help will be highly appreciated

I-864 is filled out when your case gets to NVC

If you make $29,000 this year you should be fine

For the affidavit of support, the above is correct. However, the COs often also consider health care when parents are elderly/ unlikely to find work in the USA. Be prepared to show that you/ they have health insurance which will cover them, as they cannot get medicaid.
