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

In Washington, a child does not need to submit a Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) with their green card application. This form is typically used when an immigrant who is not a United States citizen is being sponsored for permanent residence by an adult citizen or legal permanent resident (LPR). Since a child does not require sponsorship, there is no need for them to submit a Form I-864. However, the child may need to submit other documents, such as evidence of their relationship to the sponsor, if their parents or guardians are US citizens or LPRs. Additionally, they may need to provide proof of their age, such as a birth certificate. They may also need to provide medical examination records, evidence of their legal immigration status, and evidence of financial support, such as tax returns. In all cases, a child applying for a green card should consult with an immigration attorney to ensure that they meet all of the requirements for the application. An experienced attorney will also be able to help them properly prepare and submit all of the necessary documents.

La Ley de Inmigración en el estado de Washington no exige que los menores de 18 años de edad presenten una Forma I-864 (Declaración Jurada de Apoyo) con su solicitud de tarjeta verde. Esto se debe a que los menores de edad no cumplen con los requisitos para presentar una Forma I-864. Sin embargo, hay ciertas excepciones. Por ejemplo, si el menor de edad no tiene un padre biológico ciudadano o extranjero legalmente presente en los Estados Unidos, entonces deberá presentar una Forma I-864. Si el menor de edad tiene un padre biológico legalmente presente en los Estados Unidos, entonces no tiene que presentar una Forma I-864, sin embargo el padre debe presentar una Forma I-134 (Declaración de Patrocinio) para garantizar que el menor recibirá el sustento necesario. Por lo tanto, un niño no necesita presentar una Forma I-864 con su solicitud de tarjeta verde a menos que no tenga un padre biológico legalmente presente en los Estados Unidos.
