Can my joint sponsor be my spouses relative in US?

[zahrasalem 114]

My income is over the minimum requirement to sponsor my husband, but I thought it would be a good idea to line up a joint sponsor JUST IN CASE, as I've read posts where this has happened to people, even though they met the income requirement.

My question is if anyone knows if it will raise a red flag, if my joint sponsor is my husband's relative who already lives in the U.S. We would only use him if my a relative on my side of the family doesn't work out.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Family members are most typically the joint/co sponsors. This should not be an issue.

Thank you....maybe I'm over-analyzing it, trying to see it through the Embassy's point of view, thinking if we have to use a joint sponsor from the beneficiaries side of the family already in the U.S. But hopefully they won't even ask for it since my income is more than enough.

At the time I petition for my husband I had been inbetween jobs, which allowed me to travel to spend time iwth him. By the time the interveiw came I had made enough to sponcer him. I did not plan on the process taking us this long.

His borther here in America was our cosponcer. My husband is now here in America. We did get put on AP though for document verification and a home visit. Did the fact that his brother psoncer through up a red flag???? Possibley, but did it warrent a denial? Obviously not.

If you do not need to use him. don't.

A home visit? I thought that was only in the movies.
