Family law attorneys need to understand that certain immigrants are entitled to financial support far in excess of what would be prescribed by state family law. Under the Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, sponsored immigrants are entitled to indefinite financial support from their sponsors, potentially for the remainder of their lives. This presentation – given today for North Carolina Advocates for Justice – covers what family law practitioners should know about their Affidavit of Support. Hats off to my colleague and co-counsel, Valeria Cessaneli, for her excellent discussion from a family law perspective (her portion begins around 40 minutes into the video).
A full video of our presentation and slides are below.
