Who submits the affidavit of support to a Consular or INS officer?
The sponsor gives the completed affidavit of support and all supporting documentation, including any Forms I-864A completed by household members, to the prospective immigrant to give the Consular or Immigration Service at the time he or she applies for immigrant status. Sponsors may submit affidavits of support and supporting documentation in sealed envelopes to protect their personal information.
