Do I need a co-sponsor for the affadavit of support?

[Phil and Reem 0]

Hey VJr's-

I've been browsing through past topics looking for some answers to concerns I have regarding the affadavit of support form, couldn't find any answers so I'll post my question here, hopefully ya'll can help out:

It turns out that I'm going to be just barely above the 125% above poverty requirement (full time student!), and that's including the total of my assets also. I'm concerned though that the embassy will want to see that I have enough in assets to provide that boost up to the 125% for the next 5 years- or so I've heard. This must vary embassy to embassy, but I'm just wondering whether or not I should recruit the help and support of my family to become a co-sponsor or take a shot and see if the embassy will accept what I'm worth now!

Any thoughts or advice you all can provide would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance.

If you are dealing with I-134, I would ge a co-sponsor, and then later worry about it when you file to adjust status. The co sponsor will only be responsible for the period from entry to the USA until the immigrant gets green-card through adjustment of status.

I-864 used to adjust status is much more clear about this, assets on ly need to be 3 times income. so if income falls below 125% povertyline by 1000 then 3000 in assets are needed.

OK I see. So 3 times worth of assets needed to hit 125%. I think I'll co-sponsor. Thanks for the help.
