Who will be co-sponsor?

[Witherwings 2]

This is still a while away for me to be worrying about now.. But I know I will need a cosponsor as my fiancé did not meet the financial requirements last year...

I am the beneficiary... Can the cosponsor be a close family member of mine who is a USC???? Or does the cosponsor have to be someone from the petitioners family??

Problem with either or is no one lives in the same city or even state as my fiancé!!

My uncle in Florida and his entire family in puerto Rico...

Any recommendations??

The co-sponsor does not have to be related to you. He/she must meet the income guidelines to cover your household and theirs. The co-sponsor has to be a US permanent resident or US citizen, and can be a resident of the U.S. or U.S. territories. Here is the statement from the I-864 (Affidavit of Support).

A joint sponsor can be any U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or lawful permanent resident who is at least 18 years old, domiciled in the United States, or its territories or possessions, and willing to be held jointly liable with the petitioner for the support of the intending immigrant. A joint sponsor does not have to be related to the petitioning sponsor or the intending immigrant.
