CR1 Visa Review. What the heck is it?

[sachinky 465]

This is just me but I'd have a joint sponsor ready as a backup. If it doesn't come up, great, you can always return his/her documents with your thanks. If it does, you're prepared.

[Raluca805 1]

So what does a cosponsor needs to send me ?

- form I-864

- last 3 years IRS transcripts

- W2

- letter of employment

- IRS form 1040

- recent pay stubs

What else do i need from him? I also read i need his birth certificate and any other documents showing he is a US citizen. Does he need to send me all of these ( passport, dl, birth certificate, etc ) or only one of them would suffice?

Guys as you know the story of mine and husband.. I need your advice about the cover letter to the USA embassy that I am gonna send with the bank letter. My husband sent me letter from the bank that his account stating the money how much they were asking. I wrote a cover letter like below..

I would think your cover letter is okay, however i suggest you are much better by adding in it exactly what you are sending to them. Example: As per the request of the CO who was interviewing my wife on the date of ........ , i am sending you the bank letter that corresponds to the needs specified, in order for her to have a complete case for a CR-1 visa. Good luck !

And Raluka, I dont have that much info about co-sponsor.. I was searching and fount out this. And ty for response for my issue.

---- Copy- Pasted----

If the petitioning sponsor does not meet the income requirements, a joint sponsor who can meet the requirements may submit a Form I-864 to sponsor all or some of the family members of the intending immigrant. The original sponsor still needs to fill Form I-864.

In other words, the joint sponsor is someone who is willing to accept legal responsibility for supporting your family member(s) with you.

A joint sponsor must be a person and may not be a corporation, organization, or other entity.

If a petitioner or sponsor meets the minimum income requirements, there can not be a joint sponsor, unless the consular officer or the DHS immigration officer specifically requires it.

Just like the sponsor, the joint sponsor must be:

• A citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence;
• At least 18 years of age; and
• Domiciled in the United States or its territories and possessions.

However, the joint sponsor does not have to be related to the petitioning sponsor or the intending immigrant.

If the first joint sponsor completes Form I-864 only for a few of the family members of the intending immigrant, a second qualifying joint sponsor can sponsor the remaining family members. There can be a maximum of two joint sponsors. Each joint sponsor is responsible only for the intending intending immigrant(s) listed on his/her Form I-864.

Each joint sponsor must individually meet the income requirements, according to Federal poverty guidelines, for his/her household size, without combining resources with the petitioning sponsor or a second joint sponsor.

Any dependents applying for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status more than six months after immigration of the intending immigrants must be sponsored by the petitioning sponsor, but may be sponsored by an original joint sponsor or a different joint sponsor.

Even if one or more joint sponsors submit their own I-864, the petitioning sponsor remains legally accountable for the financial support of the sponsored alien(s) along with the joint sponsor(s).

A joint sponsor must use the Form I-864. He/she can not use Form I-864 EZ.

The I-864 is evaluated on interview day by the CO. S/He has the final say, no matter what NVC did or didn't do. If your 2009 taxes aren't looking so hot, get a bank statement with the required level of funds in it or get a joint sponsor.

My husband had a new job that was putting him well above the poverty guidelines after we went through NVC but prior to interview day. It was implied that that job was 'too recent' and the joint sponsor was kept on record.

How recent was it? Days? Weeks? Months?

My joint sponsor is sort of in a similar situation and I'm worried...
