Copies of any documents I have submitted are exact
photocopies of unaltered, original documents, and I understand
that USCIS may require that I submit original documents to
USCIS at a later date. Furthermore, I authorize the release of
any information from any and all of my records that USCIS
may need to determine my eligibility for the immigration
benefit that I seek.
I furthermore authorize release of information contained in this

I certify:
That this affidavit is made by me to assure the U.S. Government

That I am willing and able to receive, maintain, and support the

that I agree to furnish financial support during the entire 5-year
period beginning on the date the named person acquires the
status of a lawful permanent resident and ending on the date on
which the named person becomes 21 years of age, whichever
period is longer. The financial support that I furnish is
sufficient to maintain my family, including the named person, in
the United States, at a level equal to at least 125 percent of the
current official poverty line (as established by the Director of
the Office of Management and Budget, under Section 673(2) of

section 652 of that Act) for my family size, including the named
person.
That, if the person named in Part 2. Information About
Beneficiary is under 18 years of age, I agree to petition the
court having jurisdiction, within 30 days of the named person's
arrival in the United States, to gain legal custody according to
the laws of the state where he or she will reside until he or she is
18 years of age.
That, if the person named in Part 2. Information About
Beneficiary is under 18 years of age, I agree to pay the interim
costs incurred by that person from the time he or she is released
for immigration by his or her mother or legal guardian until I
am awarded legal custody of him or her.
That, if the person named in Part 2. Information About
Beneficiary is 18 years of age or older, I agree to pay the
interim costs involved in his or her travel to the United States.
That I understand that the Secretary of Homeland Security may
enforce this guarantee of financial support and intent to petition
for legal custody for the person named in Part 2. Information
About Beneficiary against me in a civil suit in the United
States district court of the district in which I reside. However, I
or my estate will not be liable under this guarantee if I die or am
adjudicated as bankrupt under Title 11, United States Code.
That I understand that USCIS may make the information and
documentation provided by me available to the Secretary of
Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Agriculture, or the
Food and Nutrition Service, for use in determination of public
assistance.
