Sponsor and Household Member; EZ
Affidavit of Support under Section 213

sponsoring the collection: Form I–864,

Form I–864A, Form I–864EZ, and Form
I–864W; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract:
Primary: Individuals or households;
USCIS uses the data collected on Form
I–864 to determine whether the sponsor
has the ability to support the sponsored
alien under section 213A of the
Immigration and Nationality Act. This
form standardizes evaluation of a
sponsor’s ability to support the
sponsored alien and ensures that basic
information required to assess eligibility
is provided by petitioners.
Form I–864A is a contract between
the sponsor and the sponsor’s
household members. It is only required
if the sponsor used the income of his or
her household members to reach the
required 125 percent of the Federal
poverty guidelines. The contract holds
these household members jointly and
severally liable for the support of the
sponsored immigrant. The information
collection required on Form I–864A is
necessary for public benefit agencies to
enforce the Affidavit of Support in the
event the sponsor used income of his or
her household members to reach the
required income level and the public
benefit agencies are requesting
reimbursement from the sponsor.
USCIS uses Form I–864EZ in exactly
the same way as Form I–864; however,
less information is collected from the
sponsors as less information is needed
from those who qualify in order to make
a thorough adjudication.
USCIS uses Form I–864W to
determine whether the intending
immigrant meets the criteria for
exemption of section 213A
requirements. This form collects the
immigrant’s basic information, such as
name and address, the reason for the
exemption, and accompanying
documentation in support of the
immigrant’s claim that they are not
subject to section 213A.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated total number of
respondents for Form I–864 is 446,313
and the estimated hour burden per
response is 6 hours; the estimated total
number of respondents for Form I–864A
is 42,892 and the estimated hour burden
per response is 1.75 hours; the
estimated total number of respondents
for Form I–864EZ is 114,860 and the
estimated hour burden per response is
2.5 hours; the estimated total number of
respondents for Form I–864W is 98,119
hours and the estimated hour burden
per response is 1 hour.
