Sponsor

[Larry-jaana 0]

As an US citizen i plan to marry a Swedish citizen. My question is...i am a disabled veteran living in section 8 housing for the past 10 years. I understand that my chances to be her sponsor are not looking good so i was thinking of having my friend as her sponsor. Will my friend be charged any fees, should he become a sponso. we are reading and reading and so far everything looks so difficult..but we both feel that surely it is not that difficult to get a k-1 visa..

Please help us out here..

Peace

Your friend will not be charged any fees to co-sponsor.

However, you as the petitioner MUST be primary sponsor and provide an I-134 for her visa interview, your friend will also provide an I-134.

Later when adjusting status, you will provide an I-864, and you can use your friend as a joint sponsor and they will also provide an I-864.

Note: I-134 is NOT filed with I-129F, it is later needed at the interview.

Moving this post.

No "fees" to "become" the sponsor. However, once she's here and your friend signs the I-864 needed to be joint sponsor for her adjustment of status, he/she will take on the contractual obligations stated on the I-864 itself. So, they'll want to actually read those and make an informed decision. Their potential obligation, worst case, is for their lifetime.
