What Is the Purpose of Form I-864EZ? Form I-864EZ, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA, is a shorter version of Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA, designed for cases that meet certain criteria.

A U.S. citizen or LPR may sponsor more than one person to immigrate to the U.S. If a citizen or LPR sponsors someone through family preference that person may bring his spouse or under-21 unmarried children on the same petition.

For example, in 2021, a sponsor in the U.S. mainland would need to have income (or assets) of at least $33,125 to cover a petitioner who lives alone and is sponsoring one immigrant and two children (that is, a total of four people).

A spouse seeking a green card may enlist up to 2 joint sponsors, in addition to the sponsoring spouse (the primary sponsor).

While there are no numerical limits for sponsors, U.S. citizens and legal residents can only sponsor limited classes of close relatives. Permanent legal residents can sponsor spouses and unmarried children, including adult unmarried children, those defined as over 21.

The most common minimum annual income required to sponsor a spouse or family member for a green card is $22,887. This assumes that the sponsor the U.S. citizen or current green card holder is not in active military duty and is sponsoring only one relative.

The minimum required income for most sponsors is 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for their household size and location. For a couple who live in the 48 contiguous states (mainland United States) and have no children, the required minimum annual income is currently $21,137.
