SUMMARY:Financial Support for Sponsored Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:Financial Support Sponsored Immigrants May Not Know They Qualify For: Understanding the USCIS Form I-864 Affidavit of Support in Family-Sponsored Cases \nSponsored immigrants may be entitled to meaningful financial support—but advocates often don’t realize it. In this session\, advocates and nonprofit service providers will  learn about Form I-864\, Affidavit of Support\, which can be used to secure ongoing financial assistance for sponsored immigrants struggling to meet basic needs. \nDrawing on real cases and practical examples\, the presentation explains who qualifies\, when the obligation is enforceable\, and how advocates can spot viable cases and connect clients with legal help. The goal is to equip frontline organizations with a concrete\, underused tool to improve financial stability and outcomes for the communities they serve. \nThe training will be led by Greg McLawsen. He represents low-income immigrants in state and federal lawsuits to enforce the USCIS Form I-864\, Affidavit of Support. Greg has published numerous law journal articles on this topic and routinely presents to lawyers and advocacy organizations around the country. \nRegistration will close February 23\, 1pm.
