I have a sponsor for my Adjustment of Status, but he wants to know what his responsibilities are? What should I tell him?
Answer:
When the U.S. petitioner does not meet the minimum income requirements, a sponsor is someone who agrees to use their resources and assets should the immigrant be unable to support themselves. The immigrant is not allowed to obtain certain federal, state or local specified public benefits since the sponsor has agreed to provide their resource to help the immigrant. If the immigrant does obtain these benefits, then the sponsor will need to repay it.
A sponsor does not have to be a relative, but due to the commitment the sponsor is making in many cases it is a family member or close friend.
The sponsor needs to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
The sponsor needs to meet the minimum income requirements or poverty guidelines
The financial sponsor will need to provide supporting documents to show they are able to meet the financial obligations which may include their tax return and other documents.
