Respiration controls the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. If respiration slows, CO2 increases, causing a respiratory acidosis. If respiration quickens or deepens, CO2 decreases, promoting a respiratory alkalosis. This is helpful if there is another process going on that impacts the pH of the blood.
The Affidavit of Support form is a legal contract required by U.S. law between the Petitioner (sponsor) of an immigrant visa applicant(s) and the U.S. government. The sponsor for the visa applicant(s) must establish he or she has certain means to financially support the visa applicant(s), if necessary.
Affidavits are written documents attached to an oath or some affirmation (i.e., notary public) that the statements in the affidavit are true. Declarations are merely written documents that the author believes to be true, but the statements are given without the author being sworn in by a court officer.
