Sponsor Q

[ak3 0]

Hi all,

I have an important Q about my case. I am 21 and my husband 25. I have been living with him in egypt for almost 4 months now ...this is my second visit. We were just married 2 weeks ago and i plan to stay here until his interview, but right now we are waiting to see if he is wanted for military. If he isnt, we plan to do DCF. His sponsor will be my parents...my dad just stopped working due to health problems and my mom recently retired from her state of texas job...but she still works for them as a contractor...but they meet the 17,000 dollars requirement ...my question is, about my mom being a 'contractor'...is it still ok for her to sponsor him/? She will need to have a letter from her supervisor or what? I am also confused about domicile..I think that would be my parents' home since I am still a college student? There would be 5 ppl living in my home if my husband is included so 17,000 dollars is the amount my parents need to show at least or wht is the number? We greatly appreciate any advice

Thanks

Hi ahmkri,

You might try posting this in the DCF forum. Only a few people here have done DCF. Also try looking here for affadavit of support FAQs:

If you didn't find this yet, here's a general FAQ about DCF:

Here's the link for poverty guidelines:

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/affsupp.htm#poverty

125% of the poverty guideline for 5 people would be 29,250. If they haven't been claiming you as a dependent on their taxes, I don't think you would be considered as one of the family members, so possibly you only need to meet the guideline for 4 people, $25,000. But check out these guides for more detailed information.

Good luck, and welcome to the ME/NA forum!
