What it does
Existing federal law provides that a nonresident seeking admission to the United States as an immediate relative of a citizen of the United States or as a family sponsored immigrant is inadmissible as a public charge, unless, among other methods, a person petitioning for that person's admission has executed an affidavit of support with respect to that person. The affidavit of support requires that the sponsor pledge to take certain actions to maintain and support the nonresident while he or she resides in the United States.
