Who can support who?

[IrvineCAGuy 1]

I just paid the $70.00 fee for the Affidavit of Support. Waiting to get instructions on forms to download.

The situation is: the mother, in Taiwan for whom the Petition if for, is supporting the daughter, a US citizen, and in college in California. The daughter receives most of her money from mom who wires her ...so what can I anticiapte to say about this?

Is it acceptable that the mother (the beneficiary) has the finances to support her stay in the USA?

Also, while the daughter is the Petitioner, she stated in the I=130 that she has a brother, also a US citizen in the USA. Can the daughter use/show her brother's income (he's working in USA) as well?

In fact both the petitioner and her brother are living together in a house where the mom will also come to live.

I know one simple mistake can cause big problems so I want to make sure we get the right and best story, and not introduce any delays.

Thanks.

Are you going for some sort of visa? Why would you need your mother in Taiwan to fill out an affidavit of support for a US citizen in college in the US?

The Petitioner is the daughter, a US citizen living in California. She is required to complete the Affidavid of Support. However, her "income" here, so she can go to school, comes from mom (the recipient). The daughter on her own can't show the ability to support her mom...it's the other way around...the person coming to live here (mom in Taiwan) is the one with the ability to support herself. The daughter is applying for a I-130 immigration/permanent resident.

Mother's income can not be used in this case as she is the foriegn beneficiary. What daughter needs to do is get a joint sponsor (brother if he is applicable) or use assets if possible.

This is K-3 Visa forum, so I doubt you will get much help here, may be try asking your question on this forum
