In Section C (page 1), the Anchor (from Section A) must complete the Personal Information of Accompanying Family Members related to the Foreign National (in Section B). As an anchor, you need to provide support to the foreign national and their accompanying family members. Please list all accompanying family members in the section below. Write ‘NONE’ in the box if there are no accompanying family members.

In Section D (page 2), the Anchor must complete the Anchor Eligibility Attestation.

In Section E (page 2), the Anchor must list all the countries they have lived in since their 18th birthday.

In Section F (page 2 and 3), the Anchor must complete the attestation, then e-sign (on page 3) and date. Note: This step MUST be completed while online with the NotaryPro notary public. Do NOT pre-sign or sign in advance. Leave this section blank until the time of your online notary appointment. You can also bring the document to a nearby Notary Pro location.
