Q: Can I reinstate an affidavit of support after I withdrew it?
I am the petitioner in my adult son's case. I withdrew the affidavit of support right before his visa interview at the US Embassy in Manila. I changed my mind and want to reinstate the affidavit of support. Is this possible and if so how?
A:
Reinstating an affidavit of support after withdrawal can be a complex process, but it's not impossible. Initially, you should contact the US Embassy in Manila directly to explain your situation and inquire about the possibility of reinstatement. Each case can vary, and they can provide the most accurate information based on your specific circumstances.
If the embassy allows the reinstatement, you will likely need to submit a new affidavit of support form along with any required documentation that supports your financial ability to sponsor your son. Ensure all documents are current and accurately reflect your financial status.
Finally, keep open communication with your son and the embassy throughout this process. Promptly respond to any requests for additional information or documentation. It's important to adhere strictly to all instructions given by the embassy to avoid further delays or complications in your son's visa application process.
