Form I-864P (Poverty Guidelines)

Form I-864P is not an actual form but rather a document that provides the poverty guidelines used to determine the minimum income requirements for sponsors filing an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). The guidelines are updated annually by the Department of Health and Human Services and are based on household size. Sponsors must demonstrate an income of at least 125% of the poverty guidelines for their household size, unless an exemption applies. Form I-864P is typically used in conjunction with Form I-864 to determine whether the sponsor meets the financial requirements to support an intending immigrant.
