Does a child need to submit a Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) with their green card application?

It is generally the responsibility of a sponsoring relative of a child to submit a Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) when applying for a green card. In Alaska, the person responsible for the child must provide proof of financial support during the application process. A Form I-864 is a legally binding document that confirms that the sponsored individual and their family will not become a public charge and must have the financial resources to support the sponsored individual. In certain circumstances, a child may not need to submit a Form I-864. These include if the child is a US citizen, or if the child already has a green card and has been living in the US for at least three years. In these cases, the child is not considered an immigrant and is therefore not required to submit the form. In most cases in Alaska, however, a child applying for a green card must submit a Form I-864. The form should be signed and notarized by the sponsoring relative and submitted with the green card application. The form is important to ensure the child has access to all benefits that come with a green card, such as financial assistance and health insurance.

La respuesta a esta pregunta es sí. Si un niño está solicitando una tarjeta verde en Alaska, tendrá que presentar un Formulario I-864 (Declaración de Apoyo). Esta es una declaración jurada en la que un patrocinador se compromete a ser responsable por los gastos del solicitante si el solicitante recibe asistencia estatal. El Formulario I-864 se utiliza para garantizar que los inmigrantes no tendrán que recurrir a los programas de asistencia pública para obtener ayuda. El patrocinador firma el Formulario I-864 y cumple con los requisitos financieros establecidos para asegurar que el solicitante no esté a cargo del gobierno. El patrocinador debe presentar su información financiera en el Formulario I-864 y hacer que un médico certificado certifique que el solicitante no será una carga pública. Se considera una carga pública a aquellos que reciben asistencia financiera del gobierno, tales como Medicaid, asistencia para vivienda o beneficios de alimentos. Por lo tanto, los solicitantes de tarjetas verdes que son menores de edad en Alaska necesitan presentar un Formulario I-864 para su solicitud.
