CR1 Visa

[JEWELLA 10]

Good day to you all.

I have been going nuts for the past couple of days ever since i was told by my husband that we are gonna need a co sponsor.so I am here by seeking some information about the co-sponsor for CR1 visa.I have been told by my husband that in order for us to file for a CR1 visa we are gonna need a co-sponsor...but i would like to know the requirements that a co-sponsor should posses to be qualify for the case?i would like to know if the co-sponsor has to be a family member ?i also need to know if the co-sponsor has to own a home? or any other assets or valuable possession.i am just seeking sufficient information has to what a person need to have or fulfilled in order to be a co-sponsor?cause so far it is very hard to get someone to be our co-sponsor.one more thing i need to know...me and my husband would like to know what else we can do in the case if we can't get someone to be our co-sponsor....we need to know what will happen if we don't find a co-sponsor? I was wondering if the embassy will deny my visa.... but, then what? Do we start the process over? or pay more money to have it re-open. Do we have to wait until next year so that my my husband taxes will look better?

waiting patiently for your reply.

If you read the instructions on the I-864, a lot of your questions will be answered. The co-sponsor does not need assets (although you can list them on the I-864) and does not have to be a family member. They do have to be a US citizen, US national or permanent resident. Here are the income requirements. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

Who told you that you are going to need a co-sponsor? Look at the link to see if you may qualify. Keep in mind that you can also use certain assets to qualify, although they have to be worth 3 times the income requirement.

Does your husband present income meets the income requirement for the number of depends that he will be supporting? The income requirement is set by the proverty level income.

Thank you for your response...i don't think my husband income meets the requirement of the numbers of Dependants that he will be supporting..am the only one he will be supporting but he was out of work for a year...and did not make enough money for 2009 so that's why his attorney suggest we use a co sponsor for the CR1 visa paperwork.
