Green Card · Serving Bexley from Columbus
I-864 Immigration Services in Bexley, Ohio
We have been helping Franklin County clients with I-864 preparation since 2014. Walk into our Morse Road office, bring your documents, and leave with a clear understanding of exactly what comes next. Bexley clients regularly tell us it is the first time the USCIS process felt manageable.
Bexley is part of the diverse immigrant community we serve across Central Ohio. We take time to explain each step in plain language, and we will always tell you when a situation requires an immigration attorney rather than a immigration services provider.
Service is provided at our Columbus office (3185 Morse Rd, Ste 15). We do not operate a separate staffed office in Bexley.
What Form I-864 is for
Form I-864 is the Affidavit of Support used in many family-based immigrant cases to show a sponsor’s financial support commitment.
The petitioning sponsor, and sometimes a joint sponsor, in family-based immigrant visa or adjustment cases.
Form content last reviewed 2026-07-29. Always confirm the current form edition on the official USCIS page before filing.
What Asal can help prepare
We help sponsors organize income, tax, household-size, and joint-sponsor documents for the affidavit package.
- ✓ Prepare sponsor and joint-sponsor I-864 sections
- ✓ Organize tax transcripts, W-2s, pay stubs, and employment letters
- ✓ Check household-size consistency across the packet
- ✓ Label financial exhibits for easier USCIS review
What Asal cannot legally advise on
- • We do not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or case strategy.
- • We do not represent you before USCIS or immigration court.
- • We do not decide whether you qualify for a benefit — USCIS or the relevant agency decides.
Sponsors with complex household composition, bankruptcy, or prior support obligations may need attorney or tax professional guidance.
I-864 document checklist
- ✓ Sponsor tax returns or IRS transcripts
- ✓ W-2s, 1099s, and recent pay stubs
- ✓ Proof of sponsor immigration status or citizenship
- ✓ Evidence of household members when counted
- ✓ Joint sponsor packet if needed
Your case may need additional documents. We give you a tailored checklist during a free document review.
Fees and official sources
USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current I-864 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.
Processing times for I-864 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.
USCIS government filing fees are separate from Asal document-preparation fees and change over time. Always verify the current fee and form edition on USCIS.gov before filing.
Official I-864 page on USCIS.gov →How we prepare I-864 for Bexley clients
- 1
Identify the sponsor: The sponsor is usually the person who filed the family petition. In some cases, a joint sponsor may be needed. The sponsor's household size and income documents are central to the packet.
- 2
Organize income proof: Tax returns, W-2s, 1099s, pay stubs, employment letters, and proof of status are reviewed together. The numbers must make sense across the form and the documents.
- 3
Match household size: The sponsor's household size affects the income requirement. Dependents, sponsored immigrants, and household members must be counted carefully.
- 4
Prepare sponsor signatures: The sponsor reviews the form and signs the support contract. Missing signatures or mismatched tax documents can slow the green card case.
Filing tip
Review official I-864 instructions for category-specific evidence and filing location.
Common problems we check before filing
- • Do not mix tax years without explaining what is being submitted.
- • Household size errors are common and can change the required income level.
- • A joint sponsor needs a complete separate I-864 packet.

Frequently asked questions
How long does I-864 preparation take?+
Most I-864 packets are ready within 24–48 hours after you provide all required documents. Complex cases with many supporting documents may take slightly longer. We give you a realistic timeline at your free consultation. USCIS processing time after you file is separate and depends on the agency's current workload.
Can you help me if I started my I-864 application somewhere else?+
Yes. We often help Bexley clients who started their I-864 elsewhere and want a second set of eyes before submission. Bring whatever you have completed so far and we will review it, identify any gaps, and complete the packet correctly.
Do I need to come to your Columbus office, or can you help Bexley clients remotely?+
Most of our work is done in-office at our Morse Road location so we can review original documents in person. Many Bexley clients find the drive worthwhile because of the thorough document review. Call (380) 269-7408 to discuss your situation before making the trip.
What happens if USCIS sends a Request for Evidence on my I-864?+
If you receive an RFE after submission your I-864, call us at (380) 269-7408. We help build response packets and organize the additional documents USCIS is requesting. Note that legal strategy for complex RFEs may require a licensed immigration attorney.
