What is an affidavit of support?

Affidavits of support are immigration documents. You need to notarize affidavits with a jurat. This is a Notary act that demands a sworn oath. Without taking this oath, you will not be able to get this document. The purpose of this document is different and unique. The document is prepared by a family member to promise the government that he or she will take the financial responsibility of an individual whom they are bringing to the United States. It will be their responsibility to take care of the finance of that person.

Who can offer you the required help to prepare this document?

If you are looking for official information for this document, you can visit Department of Immigration or an Immigration Attorney.

Before initiating the process, you need to ensure that you have all the required documents. Moreover, you should know about the required documents from the Department of Immigration.

The Notary will prepare a Jurat certificate and then will stamp document in one place. Before, two stamps were required. But the problem is that the form does not have enough space for the Notary seal. Therefore, try to make it short. You can also try to attach a separate form if required.
