Felon Sponsorship Immigration Rules

Summary

A felon can sponsor someone for immigration unless the crime involved a minor. The sponsor must meet the Affidavit of Support requirements, including filling out Form I-864, providing proof of income, and having lawful immigration status. Marrying a felon should not impact your ability to obtain a loan, as creditworthiness is assessed individually. However, joint credit applications may consider your spouses criminal history. Consult an immigration attorney for personalized advice.
