A: Form I-864W, Request for Exemption for Intending Immigrant's Affidavit of Support, is used in certain cases where the intending immigrant is not required to submit Form I-864, Affidavit of Support.

In Part 2 of Form I-864W, you need to select the reason for your exemption from the Affidavit of Support requirement. The options are:

1. I am the intending immigrant and I am inadmissible only because of my likelihood of becoming a public charge.

2. I am the intending immigrant and the widow(er) of a U.S. citizen or the child of a deceased U.S. citizen who filed Form I-360 for me.

3. I am the intending immigrant and I have been battered or subjected to extreme cruelty by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent and I am filing a Form I-360 as a self-petitioning spouse or child.

4. I am the intending immigrant and I am filing a Form I-360 as an Amerasian.

5. I am the intending immigrant and I am filing a Form I-360 based on qualifying for certain classifications.

Based on your situation, select the appropriate reason for your exemption. If none of these reasons apply to you, then you likely need to submit Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, instead of Form I-864W. If you are unsure which form to use or which option to select, it is best to consult with an immigration attorney or accredited representative for guidance specific to your case.
