petitioner on hud housing, got a question....

[aishahossam 1]

hello everyone,,, i went all over vj forums trying to figure out where to post this and got lost,, heheh so im gonna post it here,,,, im petitioning my husband to come here on the k3 visa, my income is little so i have a co sponsor who income meets the requirement and also has over 150 thousand dollars in property,,, so im not worried in this,, but where my worry is, is the fact that me and my 2 kids are on foodstamps, and i get federal housing, i live in a regular house but the goverment pays part of my rent and im respoinsible for the copay, i have neverrrrrr been on cash asssistance,, i was workiing a good job but lost it so now im self employed and hunting for a job thats got more hours, and of course more pay,,, now my husband been working in egypt for over 4 years now, has a college degree, and we have our propertys for sale in cairo and alex, and we want to use this money to buy small home in usa and have money in the bank till he starts working,,,, what im worried about is what the consulate would say of my financial standing now.. would it be better for me and the kids to go live with my best friend till my husband gets here,, that way im on no federal houseing, im confused and not sure what to do about this, my husband does send me money everymonth to help, its not much considering egypts salary and the conversion table of egy pound to usds but he does his best, so what should i do,, also i saw on other post where pppl were making snide remarks about public aid, please dont do this to me, i been on it on and off for couple of years,, with me doing chemotherapy,, trying to work and raise kids, its been hard, thanks ,,aishah

I don't think the news is good. Your husband could be a zillionaire but right now he is the beneficiary.

If the property in Egypt is in YOUR name you could include that on the affidavit of support.

He could transfer liquid assets to you to show you have money, but that may

not looked upon in a kind way by USCIS. I don't know for sure, so you should

ask someone (maybe the USCIS director through Gary) who knows for sure.

There are lawyers who give free consultations, but you should get a good answer here.

I don't think your husband can be a co-sponsor, as he is the beneficiary.

If you have enough assets to petition for him then you shouldn't be on public assistance

but that's just what I think the USCIS would think, not me necessarily.

thanks for your answer but i think there is a little confusion here, its my best friend who is the cosponsor, he has a job forover 5 yrs now and meets the income requirements and also has property thats worth over 150k, the only thing i was trying to say about the property in egypt is that it belongs to my husband and were selling it cause no reason to have property in egypt since were not gonna live there, and this property will bring around 40-50k in usds, and yes i do live in houseing but i work also, its just my income dont meet the sponsor requirements so thats why we have a cosponsor, so my question is, should i leave my hud houseing and move in with my friend,, or would it be ok to stay where im at, cause as soon as he gets here were moving anyways, and im terminateing all assistance anyway when he gets here, i also read that usc can recieve these benifits just not the imigrant, so this is where all my confusion is at,
