joint sponsor for approval

[saran 0]

we were refused on the grounds that the income of our petitioner was not enough and they said we need a co-sponsor.

we were given the purple slip which says,

please send us an original sigend and notarized affidavit o support from a qualifying joint-sponsor, along with all supporting documents from the most recent tax years:

1.copies of official IRS tax transcripts/returns

2.copies of w-2 forms showingh how much income the joint sponsor earned from its employes

3.current job letter

my questions are

1.whats the meaning of a qualifying joint sponsor?

2.can people who are not relatives also be joint sponsors?

3.is it compulsory for the sponsor to pay the tax of the most recent year.i mean the people who are going to be the co-sponsor us have not paid the taxes for te year 2008.is it a requirement that they have to pay the taxes for the last year if they want to support us.

the underlined line (from the most recent tax years) whats the meaning of this line.i didnt get it i m not good at english.

1. A joint sponsor agrees to keep you from taking government benefits to survive in the USA if your sponsor does not have enough income. An immigrant agrees to not be a burden on the US taxpayers.

2. Yes

3. Islamabad does sometimes require the newest taxes before they approve. It really depends on the CO and the strength of your petition and at the time of the year that the information is submitted.

it was 52,000$ per annum but i think they were not able to prove they get this much.may b only 38000 they could show because they didnt have evidance i guess.i am not so sure about it.but they also had not paid the taxes for the year 2008.and the people who intend to sponsor(joint sponsors) us have also not yet paid the taxes for the year 2008.it because of the financial crisis.
