Affidavit of Support

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3730.html

"The Affidavit of Support is legally required for the petitioning sponsor for many family-based and some employment based immigrants to show the intending immigrant will have adequate means of support, when planning to immigrate to the U.S. ... A “petitioning sponsor” is a person who has filed an immigrant petition, which has been approved by USCIS."  Read more here about the process of proving that an immigrant will not require public support.
