The Ethical Implications of Drafting A Form I-864, Affidavit of Support for a Joint Sponsor
$0.00
Description
We explore the ethics of whether attorneys should draft the Form I-864 for a co-sponsor, where the attorney represents the petitioner and/or beneficiary in the family immigration case. Because the new I-864 requires an attorney-client relationship with the co-sponsor, and because that relationship compromises the attorney’s duties to his other immigration clients, we conclude attorneys should stop drafting I-864s for co-sponsors.
