frequently asked question

Can a private person sponsor an immigrant?

ANSWER

Yes, private individuals can sponsor immigrants under certain circumstances.

This usually involves providing financial support and ensuring the immigrant has the means to live in the U.S. without relying on public assistance. The most common way to do this is through the Affidavit of Support, where the sponsor commits to financially supporting the immigrant and shows proof of their income and assets.

Keep in mind that sponsorship requirements can differ based on the immigrant category and individual case details.
