My Packet 3 has left the US Embassy in London Yesterday... Im hoping to receive it soon. I thought I have ran out of problems but now this comes up!

My Fiance who is a US Citizen does not make the 125% income requirement so he was going to get his father to Co-Sponsor. He is currently gathering all the documents needed but then while reading through the forum, I came across 2 different posts stating that the "Co-Sponsor" will have to submit his Birth Certificate or a photocopy of his passport? The problem here is that my fiance's father is not a US Citizen!! His father his a green card and has been living in the USA since 1990, he has been trying to do the naturalization test but he keeps failing because he cant speak english very well......

So.. Can someone please tell me if he is able to Co-Sponsor? Does the Co-Sponsor HAVE to be a US Citizen? Does he have to submit his birth certificate? Well...... Due to the Vietnamese war, alot of people do not have Birth Certificates!! People who fled the country usually do not have it and i think it might be pretty difficult to re-obtain! It was very difficult for me to get my Birth Certificate re-issued from Vietnam and I was born in 1987. :(

I think based on what i read that the co-sponsor can be a citizen or a legal permanent resident. And you just have to submit proove that they are. If they are a citizen then you need the birthcertificate but if they are legal resident then i THINK copies of the green card are enough
