If a person is issued an immigrant visa before the effective date for the new affidavit of support but does not immigrate until later, do they need to get a new affidavit of support (I-864)?
No. Implementing regulations designate Consular Officers interviewing immigrants during the transition period as Immigration Officers. These immigrants will have had their immigrant visa interviews before the new affidavit of support requirements become effective and will not need affidavits of support that meet the new requirements.
