Form I-864
The I-864 helps show that the sponsor has enough income or support to help the family member applying for residency. At ETIKA, we organize the financial information, we review household size and we prepare the document support so the file is understood clearly.
What matters most
The I-864 is strengthened with consistency: income, household, and documents must tell the same story.
This form is not only about entering a number. USCIS reviews who lives in the household, how many people depend on the sponsor, what income is declared, and whether the financial evidence supports that information. When something does not match, a request for evidence may arrive.
Tamaño of household
We confirm how many people is must contar for calcular the income required.
Income documentado
We organize taxes, W-2, talones, carta labor or evidence alternativa.
Path if income is not enough
We review if it is recommended to I-864A, sponsor conjunto or activos.
