@sjsiservices: USCIS just changed the rules on Green Card sponsorship and it could catch your family off guard. As of August 31, 2026, Form I-864 (the Affidavit of Support) now includes a privacy release that lets USCIS pull your file from consumer reporting agencies. Sign it, and you’ve signed off on that access. 📋 Here’s the thing: a clean income statement isn’t enough anymore. Your tax returns, assets, debts, and credit history all need to line up. If they don’t — that’s a red flag on your case. What can work against you: 🔒 A credit or security freeze blocking USCIS from pulling your report 📍 An address that doesn’t match your paperwork 💳 Undisclosed debts or liabilities ❌ Anything that makes your file look inconsistent And there’s zero grace period. Still have the old 10/17/24 edition? USCIS won’t accept it not postmarked, not e-filed for anything submitted on or after August 31. Rejected on sight. ⛔ You can still sponsor your family. But “good credit” and “approved I-864” are now two very different things. 👀 Save this before you file Tag someone sponsoring a family member right now #GreenCard #Immigration #USCIS #AffidavitOfSupport #ImmigrationLaw
