Do i need affidavit of support
answered on Jul 4, 2021
An affidavit of support is not required when you file the FORM I -751 to change your conditional status to permanent resident status. However, you will need to submit evidence of your marriage to your U.S. citizen husband.
answered on Jul 2, 2021
The person has left the USA and conditional residency has expired so you are no longer obligated under the I-864. There is no need to withdraw it.
