Co Sponser drop out!

[drpepper1109 0]

Hi,

We've encountered an issue with our Co Sponsor. When I was in the UK, my step-father in-law was my affidavit of support and even completed the paperwork required. I went to the Embassy, got approved and am now in the US. Lauren and I married last weekend and were in the process of preparing the remainder of our paperwork for the AOS Interview. Included is a part for the Co Sponsor to fill out and sign. Our Co Sponsor has now said he does not want to complete these forms all down to family issues.

What can we do now???

Lauren's biological father earns more and is more than willing to be our Co Sponsor. Can we do that and what happens now???

Alternatively, I have the funds from the sale of my home in the UK. Can this help???

Appreciate any help!

Thanks!

The AOS process is distinct from the K portion. A new joint sponsor is OK. Yes, your assets can be used, combined with your wife's or alone, but they only constitute 1/5th their gross value.

So, there wont be any issues with my father in-law just filling out the other paperwork? I'm just wondering if the AOS person might get annoyed???

hi good thing you are in USA so not much problem you can have new co-sponsor. as far as the assets are concerned. if the total annual income requires to be lets say 15000$ a year and your spouse income is falling short of 5000$(lets say( then the assets have to be fiev times the deficit amount that means you must have 25000$ value of assets or cash in order to meet the required income level.

The AOS person being the USCIS agent handling your case? His/her only consideration is that you meet the I-864 sufficiency test and that the joint sponsor meets the sponsor requirements. This is the only time in the process, before the Affidavit goes into effect, that a swap can be made (that is, other than if the sponsor dies, for example).

Is Lauren's father is American or a naturalized citizen? If so, you are fine! It wont bug the AOS person, they just want to make sure you wont become a public charge.
