Most is not, actually I am hard pushed to see how any of my comments on this thread could be so construed.

Now if you were an English Teacher, you would have a point.

Lorna, remember you have to answer all questions honestly when you complete the immigration paperwork.. that includes drug questions.

different spin on how one might of percieved her questions
before......which is wonderful......but sorry ..i felt the first
replies...were most definately more of apersonnal attack......which i
will not tollerate on any level.....and hey.....if one is into

Who's being judgmental now?

But as mentioned already, a lot will depend on the state, but also mentioned, and if you've checked the links to the sponsorship guide lines, you'd also know that any means tested benefits you receive will have to be reimbursed by your sponsor.

Wow.

English was always my worst subject.

But like so many things in life, there is always somebody better than you, and worse.

No. Your USC fiance or spouse must be your sponsor. If he doesn't qualify financially, THEN you can use a joint sponsor who meets the financial qualifications. But your USC fiance or spouse will be your main sponsor, even if he doesn't qualify.

You're now into an arena of questions that can be easily answered by reading uscis.gov's 'How Do I' section.
You won't run the risk of being judged for your "Bushy" writing style there. (Altho, "stratigical input" was one of my favorites!)

Depends on the relation to you, and your age when they sponsor you, if there a parent, then "relatively" quick, if a sibling, a lot slower, talking many years.
