I-864 Joint Sponser Question

[sly_wolf 199]

Hi. My mother-in-law is our joint sponser and she goes by her married name. She also has provided her birth certificate to meet the USC proof requirement for the I-864.

The question is will NVC have a problem due to the last name being different?

All I-864 indicated is:

If you are a joint sponsor, substitute sponsor, or the relative of an employment-based immigrant requiring an affidavit of support, proof of your citizenship status, U.S. national status or lawful permanent resident status.

For U.S. citizens or nationals, a copy of your birth certificate, passport, or certificate of naturalization or citizenship.

The Birth Cert should be fine.

Yes, but it shows her maiden name. She uses her married name now. I dont want an RFE because of that.

Ok. Hope it works for me as well. Anyone else with any experience like this let me know.
