Hi everyone.

Is it possible the co sponsor to sponsoring a family and at the same time to sponsoring a person from his own family?

I dont know if i was clear but the situation is that, we need a co sponsor but the person was sponsoring family member and now we r wonder if that person can be our sponsor as well?

Yes, if the person makes enough money, they can sponsor as many immigrants as they like.

So how I would know how much is enought?

They will need to make 125% of the poverty guideline for their household, including anyone they are sponsoring (as per here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf).

So, for example if the co-sponsor is single, they are already sponsoring one person from their family to immigrate, and will now sponsor your spouse, then their household is 1+1+1= 3, and thus they'd need to make an absolute minimum of 22'887.

Or, if the co-sponsor is has a wife and two kids, they are already sponsoring two people from their family to immigrate, and will now sponsor your spouse, then their household is 4+2+1= 7, and thus they'd need to make an absolute minimum of 41'587.
