Does a sponsor need to submit a new affidavit of support if new poverty guidelines are issued before the case is decided?
Immigrant officers will begin to use new poverty guidelines at the start of the second month after HHS publishes them in the Federal Register. As long as the affidavit of support demonstrates sufficient income to meet the 125 percent income requirement for the sponsor’s household size under the new poverty guidelines, a new affidavit of support will not normally be required.
