Does each accompanying family member need separate documents if they are traveling with the principal applicant?
The principal applicant and accompanying family members need only one complete set of documents prepared in support of the I-864 Affidavit of Support. Each accompanying family member must have either an original or photocopy of I-864 (and I-864A if needed) for the principal applicant. Each photocopy must have an original, notarized signature. Copies may be used only for dependents whose names appear on the principal applicant’s original petition. Copies of supporting documents are not required for accompanying family members applying for visas or adjustment of status together with the principal applicant.
Accompanying dependents who immigrate with the principal applicant must have a signed original or a photocopy of the principal applicant’s signed (not required to be notarized) Form I-864 and I-864A (if needed). Copies may only be used for dependents whose names appear on the principal’s original forms.
