Can a US Immigrant sponsor me on 1-864?

[MRS.FAITH 0]

We are now in the middle of processing my 1-130 (DCF)in USE Manila so we need to know and clarify about this things. I have a co-sponsor and that is my brother who lives and works in CA. His status in states is Immigrant for like 20 years. He just visits here in the Philippines every once a year and come back to the states. My question is:

1. Can he be my co-sponsor for 1-864 because we did not reach the required poverty guideline.

2.If yes, then his status that he has to check on 1-864 is A lawful permanent resident or US National? Pls help we need to clarify this as early as we can..

Thanks a lot....

what is your brother's 'status' in the usa ?

did he become a naturalized citizen,

or

does he hold valid green card, as a permanent resident ?

Thanks for your respond Darnell. That I have to know from him. All I know is he is working as a supervisor in a good company in Ca and file his joint taxes with his wife who is i think already US citizen because all I know is that his wife was there since 8 yrs old. I will clarify if he has a GC and get back to you thanks...

My brother was working there in states when he was 18 yrs old and met a filipina and they got married there in the states. What are the differences between US Naturalized, US Immigrant and US National?

To be a co sponsor you have to be either a US citizen by birth or by naturalization or a permanent resident. Other visa classes are not accepted as sponsors. You can come to the US on other visa classes such as student or worker and not be allowed to sponsor.

Hi. Got the answer now. He said he is Lawful permanent resident in CA. Both of them husband and wife. So my brother is qualified to co-sponsor me right?

Yes you should be fine

Ok thanks for that respond....Wondering what are those proof for them to show they are Lawful permanent resident. I didnt ask what passport they have, if US passport or still philippine passport..

They should have a green card.

They should have a green card.

ditto,

the proof of LPR is a copy of the GC.

By the way, does he also need to xerox a copy of his Alien Registration number? It is required on the 1-864 for them to provide it or write it down...
