I-864, last post!

Hello!

This my last post on this topic, I promise!

Thank you everybody for your advice, sorry about my blow-out.

I have come to a conclusion that I am going to try and work it out without Kyle's parents. Our options are for Kyle to quit school (which his parents would HATE) for now and get more hours to bring him up to the poverty line, to ask a friend of his if he would sign it, or finally to look in to going back to England (which his parents would HATE even MORE!).

Kyle's parents have been as supportive as they feel able to be at this point, and that is fine. They have spoken to some terrible attorneys and spent thousands of dollars on poor advice. They want very much to gift Kyle this money- but I would rather not accept that.

It seems to me it would just be a red flag to the government, and I'd rather do it right the first time than risk complications or refusal.

I should have checked they were on board, often people seem to be listening or willing when they aren't. To anybody about to come over, that needs a co-sponsor, outline it with absolutely clarity before you take the plunge.

I thought by getting an internship as soon as I got here and generally being a helpful and articulate person his parents would trust my husband and me enough to sign the paperwork, but that affidavit is a scary document and sometimes no amount of carefully researched and clearly explained research and reasoning will persuade anybody to sign it.

Good luck to everyone!

This website is invaluable,

Thank you again!
