Hi everyone

I'm using my wife's account to post this question.

We're about to file for my green card except there's one problem... my wife lost her job recently and cannot sponsor me in the affidavit of support. Although I don't have much money, I have sufficient funds to survive while I wait for my EAD, though I hear that doesn't count. My brother in law wants to cosign but yesterday he calls me to tell me that apparently in laws aren't allowed to cosign... Is this true? We went to a lawyer a few weeks ago and she said that he can cosign, but the instructions tell us otherwise :blink:

What should we do? I would hate for my application to be denied... We may have a friend who would be willing to cosign but we'd have to ask him...

Thanks

Any US Citizen or LPR (Green card holder) can be a sponsor/co-sponsor.

Your wife will still need to complete the affidavit of support and supply any/all supporting documents (regardless of current income status - you may already be aware of this). And, as stated above, a US Citizen or LPR (Permanent Resident) can be a co-sponsor. There are no laws (that I've ever seen) excluding a member of your wife's family (your in-law) from being a co-sponsor. Perhaps he is uncomfortable with doing so or has some other reasoning.
