This is what was posted a few months ago on our agency board. I'm not sure where the director found it...I had some questions, but they weren't answered...I'll question again when it's time to actually travel.


3) Changes to Affidavit of Support Requirements - for IR4 visas only

The Department of States has recently changed its requirements for filing the I-864 Affidavit of Support. Previously, a sponsor was required to provide copies of Federal income tax returns for the three most recent taxable years, along with evidence of current employment. Effective immediately, the sponsor is required to submit with their I-864 a certified copy of only the most recent Federal income tax return. If assets are needed to meet the minimum income requirement, sponsors also will be asked to submit evidence that the assets have a cash value that equals at least five times the difference between total household income and the poverty guideline for the household size, exclusive of liens, mortgages, and liabilities.
