Does a child need to submit a Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) with their green card application?
No, a child does not need to submit a Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) with their green card application in New Jersey. If the child is immigrating to the United States with a family member who is petitioning for them, then that petitioner must submit the Form I-864 on behalf of the child. This form helps demonstrate to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that the petitioner has enough financial resources to support the child and prevents the child from becoming a public charge. However, if the child is immigrating as an immediate relative of a United States citizen, then the child is not required to submit a Form I-864. An immediate relative includes a parent, spouse, or unmarried child under 21 years of age. In this case, the petitioner is not required to submit the Form I-864, and the child does not need to do so either. Instead, they should submit the other documents required for a green card application, such as birth and marriage certificates, proof of relationship to the petitioner, a valid passport, and a completed Form I-485.
