The Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA , is a crucial, legally binding contract required for most family-based immigrant visa applications, including spouse visas (CR-1/IR-1). Its primary purpose is to demonstrate to the U.S. government that the intending immigrant, in this case, a spouse, will have adequate financial support from their sponsor in the United States and is therefore unlikely to become a 'public charge'. Key Requirements for Spouse Sponsorship: Sponsor Eligibility: The sponsor must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR), at least 18 years old, and domiciled in the U.S. The petitioning spouse is almost always the required sponsor. Financial Responsibility: The sponsor must show an income level at or above 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for their household size. For active duty military personnel sponsoring a spouse, this threshold is 100%. Assets can be used to supplement income if needed. Legally Binding Obligation: This financial commitment is serious and typically lasts until the sponsored spouse becomes a U.S. citizen, has worked for 40 qualifying quarters (approximately 10 years) in the U.S., departs the U.S. permanently, or dies. The sponsor is responsible for reimbursing any means-tested public benefits received by the sponsored immigrant during this period. Comprehensive Documentation: Sponsors must provide their most recent Federal Income Tax Returns (typically for the last three years, but the most recent is mandatory), proof of current employment and income (e.g., pay stubs, employment verification letter), and evidence of assets if necessary to meet the income threshold.

The Affidavit of Adoption is a supporting legal document used in the process of finalizing or proving the adoption of a child. In Nigeria, adoption is a strict statutory process governed by the Child Rights Act and specific State Laws (like the Lagos State Adoption Law). The process involves the courts and social welfare offices. This affidavit serves as a sworn affirmation by the adoptive parent(s) confirming the completion or validity of the adoption process. Use in Post-Adoption Documentation Once a Family Court issues an Adoption Order, the parents often need to obtain new identity documents for the child, such as a new birth certificate showing the adoptive names, an international passport, or school registration. Many of these institutions require an affidavit to accompany the court order, where the parents swear to the facts of the adoption and their assumption of full parental rights. It effectively serves as a summary of the legal transfer of parentage. Content and Declaration The affidavit must explicitly state that the deponent has legally adopted the child in accordance with the laws of the state. It usually references the specific Court Order (case number and date) that granted the adoption. The deponent affirms that the child now bears the family name and that they have assumed full responsibility for the child's education, health, and general welfare as if the child were born to them biologically. This document is crucial for integrating the child into the new family legally and socially.
