No problem. You can always bring a new I-864 to your AOS interview, since you'll be working by then, and request the joint sponsor's I-864 back. This is just to get your AOS moving along again.

You are talking about immigration here and waiting is not something you should even be thinking about, let alone discussing. Wait too long and the immigrant will no longer have an EAD to be able to look for work as the case will be considered abandoned and the EAD revoked.

You are asking Noorah a question in regards to my posting so I will answer you: the co-sponsor must be able to show that they can support their family plus the immigrant at 125% of the poverty guideline. They do not have to include the USC spouse in the equation.

You can submit the I-864 from the co-sponor and at the time of the interview ask to have it removed and substituted by your own. This will let the co-sponsor off the hook. This might be the selling point needed to get someone to take on the what can be a lifetime financial commitment.

I have kind of the same problem. My husband(USC) has occacsional gigs
but nothing fix. I would have enough money to support the both of us. He
does not have any realtives who could sign with us a s co sponsors. I
could definitely ask my parents to sign but they are not USCs. We have
to send in the form by October 27th. I don't have my EAD yet but I do
have my OPT. If I manage to find work with that would that help? Or can
my parents sign as co sponsors? Can I ask a friend who's a USC to sign
or does it have to be a relative?

Julia why would you say that to anyone. Since when did having a
"proper" job hold back anyone from getting married. Yes it is nice to
have the security of an income but having each other is just as
important. I am sure she knows what she got herself into an is very
happy. As for your advice or should I say lack of advice Julia I am
sure she doesnt need. Susie you will figure out I am sure. Good luck
in your adventures with USCIS

Kat, don't bother trying to reason with RTI/Julia. It won't work and is a waste of your time and energy. Instead, just laugh and shake your head when reading her posts.

(Waiting for RTI to post some snappy comeback addressed to someone named "Jinney"...LOL)

I just hate when people hit a nerve so my only choice was to say
something but after seeing her replying I couldnt agree with you more
that she is a waste of time an energy. I try to laugh at her comments
but some I can't. I am yet to find any of her responses that I DON'T

they have nothing better to do with their time.
Hope all is well for you Stay Safe Jenney

Hello Kat and all

Please ignore jennifer as all I get from her is negative and negative
is not good. She may be nice and cute which would be positive but I am
too busy too worry about that.

Back to the topic which is the subject matter of this post herein. I
think it has always been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it is
FACT that in the context of marriages which sadly fail money ( or the
lack thereof ) is the primary reason for the aforesaid failure. Lack of
money equates to lack of proper employment ie adequate earning
capacity.

    >From my professional experience no couple will last in holy matrimony
if on eor both are not employed in a worthwhile and gainful way. Work
in the home does equal employment in my opinion.

But Kat I am at a loss to know how two unemployed people as menioned by
you in your posy herein lasted ???????? Guess they must be wel
subsidised by my taxes and those of Jennifer's and others. But I am
happy for them.

Thank you and I mean well always Julia

Hi Kat

I may be mistaken but from memory I think you alluded to such a fact in
an earlier post.

Please look at the research if you doubt me ..... it is a fact that
afor all marriage failure moent problems is the pre-eminent cause
thereof. This fact is undisputed as far as I know.

Best wishes

Retire toI beg to differ with you Julia.
My bestfriends parents of 5kids are HAPPILY married after 26yrs even
though the father nor the mother have ever had a "proper job"
Happiness is what you make of it

I NEVER once put in this post that they were UNEMPLOYED. I stated the
parents never had a "PROPER JOB"
But hey who am I to state "what IS a proper job an what ISNT"
I think I have done my research.....Have you??
Marriages failure based upon ALOT of other factors.
Money can also cause alot marriage breakups.
But as I said before HAPPINESS IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT.
