The Affidavit of Support (Form I-*) is a document an individual signs to accept financial responsibility for another person, usually a relative, who is coming to the United States to live permanently. The form is legally required for many family-based and some employment-based immigrants to show they will have adequate means of support after immigration to the U.S. Here are some points to consider:
- The sponsor must be at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident.
- The sponsor must have a domicile in the United States or a U.S. territory or possession.
- The sponsor must be able to demonstrate that their income is at least *% of the federal poverty guidelines.
Remember, this is only general information. For specific advice, consult an immigration attorney in your area.

If the sponsor's income is close to the requirement, they may still qualify by adding the value of their assets. This could be the value of their home, other real estate, stocks, bonds, or retirement accounts. This is a complex area, consulting an immigration attorney in Milwaukee is recommended.

With income just above the requirement, the sponsor should meet the minimum criteria. However, fluctuations in income or unexpected expenses may impact the sponsor's ability to support. It's advisable to consult an immigration attorney in Milwaukee for a detailed analysis.
