Form I-864 for Delaware Residents
Delaware families in Delaware County file I-864 family-based petitions through the USCIS Cleveland Field Office for biometrics and the appropriate USCIS Service Center for adjudication. We have prepared this exact form for hundreds of Central Ohio families — including the I-864 affidavit of support, the joint sponsor letters, and the medical exam coordination that USCIS expects with the complete packet.
Our office serves Delaware applicants throughout Delaware County, including families connected to Delaware City Schools and workers around OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital. Clients often come to us after receiving a USCIS notice, preparing for a family petition, renewing documents for work, or trying to understand which records must be translated before filing.
Our Delaware clients commonly include families served by Delaware City Schools and workers and patients tied to OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital.
Delaware · Central Ohio
Why this Form I-864 page is written for Delaware
communities where new arrivals often join families already established in central Ohio for the lower cost of living — and Delaware, with a population near 41,302, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
Central Ohio families typically come to us with a mix of family-petition, green-card, work-permit, and naturalization paperwork — sometimes for multiple family members at once. Our Delaware County clients receive a complete packet review: every signature checked, every translation certified, every supporting document indexed before the envelope is sealed.
Delaware sits in Central Ohio, agricultural roots with a growing share of residents commuting into the Columbus metro for healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing jobs. Delaware County, where Delaware is located, is a large Ohio city with full county clerk services, vital records access, and a passport acceptance facility nearby.
rural and small-town drive routes feed into I-71 or U.S. 23 for the final approach to our Morse Rd office. From Delaware (ZIP 43015), the trip is roughly 22 miles each way.
The 22-mile drive from Delaware (~32 min) is short enough for a midweek appointment but far enough that we always plan to finish core packet work in one sitting. We also serve families across the rest of Central Ohio, where many of our Delaware clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.
