The Department of Homeland Security has proposed a rule that would make it much more difficult for U.S. citizens and legal immigrants—especially those experiencing financial hardship—to sponsor family members for green cards.
If the rule goes into effect, the process of family-based immigration will become even more cumbersome and restrictive.
The proposed rule—published in the Federal Register on October 2—relates to the “affidavit of support.” Under a 1996 immigration reform law, anyone wanting to sponsor a family member for a green card must complete an affidavit of support demonstrating that the sponsored immigrant will not become dependent on federal public benefits.
Sponsors would have to submit extensive financial documentation
Under the new proposed rule, sponsors would have to submit extensive financial documentation to the federal government as part of filing the affidavit of support.
