Form I-864W (Exemption from Affidavit of Support)

Form I-864W is a form filed by certain intending immigrants to request an exemption from the requirement to have a sponsor file an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) on their behalf. This form is typically used by self-petitioning widows or widowers of U.S. citizens, self-petitioning battered spouses or children, and certain employment-based immigrants who have already worked in the United States for a sufficient period of time. The applicant must provide evidence of their eligibility for the exemption.
