no co-sponsor
 

Hi everyone,
Ive been living in the u.s for 16 months and im married to a usc.The problem we have is the lack of a co-sponsor,either family or friend.Has anyone else been in this situation?Does anyone know of any group/organisation that could help?Thank you for your time

Re: no co-sponsor
 

Do you really need a co-sponsor? There is you and your USC spouse. Are you both working? Have you the foreign spouse been living/married for over six months in the same household. If so, won't your combined salaries met or exceed the guidelines required for the I-864? If so, you can complete form I-864A and use your income in addition to your spouses to met the requirements.

Thanks for the reply.Let me clarify,because we dont have a co-sponsor i dont have a green card so no im not working.Yes we have been married for more than 6 months we have a 4month old baby plus 4 other kids living under the same roof theirfore my wifes income is below the poverty guidelines.

Hmmmm you don't need a green card to work. You need an employment authorization document which you apply for at the time you apply adjustment of status. That allows you to get a social security card and employment

Re: no co-sponsor
 

Thank you for taking the time to reply,but,i cant get an EAD until i get a co-sponsor which we have found to be impossible.No co-sponsor no adjustment of status no EAD.What i need is someone to sponsor me,any volunteers?:)

Re: no co-sponsor
 

You should be able to get the EAD without a co-sponser? Someone here might be able to explain it better but the I-864 wont be needed until down the road? I don't think you have to file it right away. Can anyone clarify?

Well, I had to submit the I-864 when I applied for AOS and you can't
get an EAD without applying for AOS. At least that is the case here in
Phoenix.

Hi:

You must FILE the I-864 with the application. However, the sufficiency of the I-864 is not ADJUDICATED until the time of the interview.

The USC petitioner has to file an I-864 whether its sufficient or not. So the advice was to file the damn thing which will get alien spouse an EAD and then later the I-864 will be supplemented or replaced at time of interview in order to get case approved.
