Affidavid of Support - Co sponsor

[solando 0]

hey guys,

Just a quick question. Alright my fiance in the US is studying atm and not working, so we thought of using MY parents (who have their own green cards) as a co-sponsor. Is there any problem with this where my fiance hasnt earned any income? I know we would still fill out the forms for her, but just wondering if it would have a negative affect on getting our visa.

We got our NOA2 approval letter about a week ago now, so just waiting for the case to get here and for me to get the forms.

Thanks

For many Consulates/Embassies it is acceptable to use a joint sponsor. There are some Embassies that will not accept joint sponsors for a K-1 visa. I cannot see anyplace where the country of the fiance(e) is mentioned.

Only one of the parents can be a joint sponsor for a K-1 visa. Documents need to show the income of the mother OR the father, not both.

Good luck.

Oh I'm in Australia, and we thought of using my father for the affidavit of support.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it required that the cosponsor be a U.S. citizen?

It can be a USC or LPR, as long as the person is legal. I was a joint sponsor for my brother. he was filing for my sister-in-law and my nephew. I was a LPR at that time and he had no problems.

Uh... sort of. A tourist is "legal". Someone working in the US with an H1 visa is "legal". However, they would not qualify as sponsors for an affidavit of support.

A sponsor must be a US citizen or LPR, and must be domiciled in the US.

Yeah, my parents have their green cards for about 3 or 4 years now and live permanently in texas. I guess its a bit of an unusual situation because my parents (the foreign fiance) live in the USA too. So from what I gather, it shouldn't be a problem that I use my father as a co-sponsor.
