What is an affidavit of support and what are the requirements?
In order for the US spouse to sponsor a foreign spouse for a marriage green card, he or she must show that he or she is financially able to support the foreign spouse. To prove this the US spouse must show that he or she has a certain level of income or a certain amount of financial assets. If the US spouse is unable to meet this requirement, the foreign spouse may show that they have a sufficient level of income or assets or the US spouse may ask another person to act as a financial co-sponsor.
