Does a child need a sponsor to apply for immigration?
In Alaska, the answer depends on the age of the child. A child under the age of 21 (as of the time of application) is typically eligible to self-petition for immigration. This means that they do not need a sponsor to apply for immigration. However, a child over the age of 21 must have a sponsor, typically a legal permanent resident or U.S. citizen. The sponsor must complete the necessary supporting documentation to demonstrate their ability to financially support the child, as well as provide proof of their relationship to the child. In general, a sponsor must submit their own I-864 form, which contains information about their income and other necessary financial information. They must also submit evidence of their relationship with the child, such as a birth certificate or marriage certificate. The sponsor is then legally obligated to provide financial assistance to the child if it is found that the child is unable to support themselves. It is important for the sponsor to provide complete and accurate information when submitting their application and documentation. If false or incomplete information is provided, the application may be denied or delayed. Additionally, if the sponsor is unable to provide the necessary financial assistance to the child, the child’s application for immigration could also be denied.
