Immigration Q: re Affidavit of Support
In order to obtain an immigrant visa for a relative who is a citizen of a foreign country, one must fill out and sign an Affidavit of Support. The purpose of the affidavit is to prove that the sponsor has sufficient financial resources to support the immigrant, so that the immigrant will not be a drain on the welfare system.
My question: will the sponsor be responsible for any hospital bills incurred by the immigrant? Hospitals are not necessarily part of the public welfare system. The Affidavit of Support mentions nothing about providing health insurance for the immigrant.
Thanks in advance.
Eva Luna, are you there?
