US Green Card: USCIS can now check sponsor’s credit information; what changes for applicants

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has changed Form I-864, the ‘Affidavit of Support’ used by people sponsoring family members for a green card, according to Lubna Kably's Times of India report. From August 31, USCIS will accept only the new version of the form for filings submitted on or after that date, with no grace period for using the previous version.

The revised form includes a privacy release that allows USCIS to request credit-related information about the sponsor from one or more consumer reporting agencies.
