When does the new affidavit of support go into effect for immigrants adjusting status in the United States?
The new affidavit of support will be required for adjustment of status cases that are filed with INS beginning on December 19, 1997. Cases that are filed with INS before December 19, 1997, will not be subject to the new requirement even though the interview will be after December 19. Applicants who file before December 19 will continue to demonstrate that they are not inadmissible under the public charge grounds through other means, including the current affidavit of support, Form I-134, proof of a job offer in the United States, or demonstration of sufficient income or assets.
