Affidavit of Support?
What is the position with the Affidavit of Support form I-864 if the sponsor is not actually related to you - do you still use the same form?
Thanks... |

If you are using someone else as a co-sponsor, bear in mind the spouse submits one I-864 and you also submit the co-sponsor's separate I-864 form.

Hi,
Your first/main sponsor must be your spouse/fiancee. If they do not meet the 125% poverty guidelines then the co/joint sponsor does not have to be a relative. And yes it is the same form for spouse/fiancee and co sponsor. There is also a form callec an I-864A in certain circumstances. Examples. a/. I am joint sponsoring myself with my wife and have to sign an I-864A which is a contract between the two of us. b/. Just in case they do not accept our Affadavit (I-864) my sister-in-law and her husband are sponsoring us jointly and they have to sign an I-864A as a contract between them. I hope this makes sense, I'm sure if it doesn't someone else will make it clearer. Good luck |

What about this situation?
My wife doesn't work...and I am still awaiting a work permit - so cannot work either. We are both being sponsored by a friend of the family until I can be allowed to work. How does the affidavit of support work in that case? Thanks for any help... |

Re: Affidavit of Support?
Thank you, Alvena - I think I am beginning to piece this all together in my mind now. (I'll probably forget something at the last minute, though.)
Without this forum, though...I would definitely not have filed two affidavits - and that would have increased the waiting time, somewhat. There does seem like so much red tape involved with this process, though. Is a birth certificate enough evidence of identity of the joint sponsor for the INS...that is, including all of the other evidence, like tax returns, etc.? Thanks for all the help! |
