Another Problem - Support Form

[Veronik 19]

Hey everyone,

I'm running into problems with the evidence for the co-sponsor and I really need you help/advise...

So the co-sponsor is my future mother-in-law. All of her bank accounts and the house are both under her name and her husband. So when we received the letter from the bank today, it was under his name, not hers. What can I do? Can I get another letter from the bank with her name on it? Or at least with both their names?

I'm really starting to stress out now, because my interview is in 17 days, and I'm worried I won't get it all done in time now with this issue...

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Aww, it will be okay. Have her call the bank, and get another letter with her name on it also.

Thanks Married2009

I noticed that on the tax transcripts, both their names are on there, could I use that to show the people at the interview that his account is also hers in case I can't get a bank letter with her name on it?

Exactly probably just an oversight on their part, probably just saw the first name listed on the account and placed that name there. Still have time to get it worked out;) Have her call today if at all possible:)

[Veronik 19]

Yeah, not possible... Maybe next week while we're at the beach... Gosh, I KNEW they would wait until -almost- last minute to gather their evidence... But I loved them still, just quite pissed off right now...

I'd try to get another letter from the bank with her name on it as well. If it's a joint account, that should've been what they automatically did anyways. ugh.

It won't take them 17 days to do that, don't worry. lol I don't see why the letter isn't something they can produce immediately if it's requested at the bank in person.

An off topic question - So how does it work when only she is a sponsor, but she shares her finances with her husband. Does he have to write a letter of permission saying he know about this co-sponsor arrangement?

Just curious

[Veronik 19]

Good question... I should probably know that in case I need his evidence too... Anyone knows?

So at this point I'm wondering if I need a co-sponsor since the sponsor's forms are all good to go...

His salary is 14$ an hour, and he has 40 hours a week, which equals to 29,120 $ a year (52 weeks). He has 3,596.11 in savings. The reason why we wanted a co-sponsor is because last year, he only made 15,533.12....

What do you guys think? And I was thinking, the letter from the employer, should it state he makes 29,120$ or his hourly salary?

My husbands employment letter had is annual income.

When I went for my interview we were in the same situation. My husband makes enough yearly income according to his letter from his employer but his previous year income was half that(and not enough to sponsor myself AND 3 kids) because he had just moved back to the US from Canada and wasn't working for almost 6 months. When I got to the interview I told them he made X a year but last year he only made X and we DID have a co-sponsor if needed....she said no thats fine and only took his paperwork. Now for the AOS part...I sent the co-sponsor stuff in JUST IN CASE...

I had the same thing, my fiance was a victim of the economy last year working at the bank!!! of course he got laid off and last year didn't make over the poverty line as he came to visit me for a few months and they wouldn't give him his unemployment. He makes over the poverty line this year and we had a letter from his ER and paystubs and the tax return from 2008 and 2009, plus we had his mom complete an affidavit and I had her W2s etc. When I had my interview the lady that went thru my checklist at the window didn't even take the paystubs she just took the letter and gave me back the stubs. Then the CO who interviewed me said why you have a co sponsor you don't need it, i just said wanted to be safe than sorry. However when i do my AOS we are submitting everything just incase. Also as an FYI give them copies of the tax stuff, w2's tax returns, and paystubs as they keep what you give them so if you give them originals you won't have them for your AOS and you need them for AOS just in case they ask for them. You will be fine

Gosh, it's relieving to see I'm not the only one!!! Thanks so much for the reassurance, I'll say exactly what you said, word per word!!!

Wooh! Forgot about originals for AOS, thanks for the reminder!!! Will definitely put the copies I had made as evidence and bring the originals, just in case! Thanks!

Thanks so much everyone for replying, I think the problem is solved now! I will have a co-sponsor just in case, but I won't freak out if it's not as perfect as the sponsor's form!

Thanks again!
