I-363
Request to Enforce Affidavit of Financial Support and Intent to Petition for Legal Custody for Public Law 97-359 Amerasian
Form I-363, Request to Enforce Affidavit of Financial Support and Intent to Petition for Legal Custody for Public Law 97-359 Amerasian, is how the guarantee a sponsor made on Form I-361 is brought to USCIS for enforcement. USCIS says that if, after admission to the United States, the beneficiary of a petition for a Public Law 97-359 Amerasian requires enforcement of the guarantee of financial support and intent to petition for legal custody executed by the sponsor, the beneficiary may file this form.
The instructions say the guarantee may be enforced against the sponsor in a civil suit brought by the Attorney General in the U.S. district court for the district where the sponsor resides. The sponsor's estate is not liable if the sponsor dies or is determined to be bankrupt under Title 11, United States Code.
The privacy statement in the instructions says the information is used to decide whether Form I-361 requires enforcement and may be furnished to the U.S. Attorney for an enforcement action.
Name, date and place of birth, citizenship, A-Number, Social Security and USCIS online account numbers, the port of entry and destination at initial admission, relationship to the sponsor, the USCIS office holding your file, mailing address and employer or school.
Name, whether the sponsor is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, A-Number, Social Security and online account numbers, mailing and physical address, phone and email, and employer.
Whether the beneficiary lives with the sponsor, how the beneficiary is supported and for how long, legal custody, whether and when support stopped, any reason the sponsor gave, and the applicant's relationship to the beneficiary.
Whether you read the request yourself or through an interpreter, whether a preparer helped, contact details, the certification under penalty of perjury and your signature.
Contact details, certifications and signatures for anyone who interpreted or prepared the request, and extra space for longer answers. The last page of the form is for USCIS use only.
Type or print in black ink. Answer every question, writing N/A where a question does not apply and None for a zero. On a printed copy, keep the edition date and page numbers visible, with all pages from the same edition.
Give your own details, including where you were initially admitted, then the sponsor's. The instructions say a USCIS online account number exists only if you previously filed a form with a receipt number that begins with IOE.
Answer whether the sponsor stopped all support, the date it stopped, and any reason the sponsor gave. Longer explanations go in Part 7 with the page, part and item number.
A note in Part 3 asks for a copy of Form I-361, Affidavit of Financial Support and Intent to Petition for Legal Custody for P.L. 97-359 Amerasian, if one is available.
The instructions say a stamped or typewritten name is not accepted and an unsigned Form I-363 is rejected. This page lets you fill the form online free, then print it for signature.
You get the real form, filled in a browser tab, with nothing standing between you and the finished PDF.
The USCIS page says the form should be filed with the USCIS district office having jurisdiction over the beneficiary's residence in the United States, which the Field Office Locator finds.
The USCIS page points to its Fee Schedule page, and the instructions point to Form G-1055. Fees can change, so check them on the day you file.
The instructions say an unsigned Form I-363 is rejected with a notice that it is deficient. The deficiency can be corrected and the form resubmitted, and it is not properly filed until USCIS accepts it.
Send legible photocopies unless an original is requested. A foreign-language document goes with a full English translation and the translator's certification, signature, printed name, date and contact information.
The instructions say USCIS may ask for more information or evidence, or for an interview that can include biometrics. The form's USCIS-only page records whether an investigation was needed and whether enforcement is recommended to the U.S. Attorney.
The instructions say an attorney or accredited representative who helped prepare the request may be obliged to also submit Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative.
