What is a sponsor's liability under the Affidavit of Support

An I-864 sponsor has two "buckets" of liability. (1) He has to repay the cost of means-tested public benefits (think Medicaid, TANF/cash assistance, and food stamps) provided to the immigrant. This is not currently enforced to any significant degree. (2) The sponsor has to maintain the immigrant's income at 125% of the poverty line, about $1,415/month or $17,000/year. This is very much enforceable, and green card holders have a well-established right to sue for such support. In that lawsuit, the green card holder may recover all costs and attorney fees spent enforcing the Affidavit of Support. Do you have a claim for financial support under the Form I-864? Find out.
