bringing fathers brother

[jack and jill 0]

Hi all,

I am currently in a the process of I-130 and K3 for my wife. However I have aquestion for the board unrelated to that.

My parents are US citizens and live in Ohio. Approximately 8 years ago, my father applied for a greencard for his brother and sister-in-law who live in India. At that time, his brotehrs children were j1 or h1 visa holders. My father filled out the affadavit of support at the time of initial filing.

Since that time, my cousins are greencard holders and about to become citizens. Also my father and his brother each received a letter stating that an agent needs to be assigned and also a new affadavit of support.

My questions are:

1) Can my cousins now fill out the new affadavit of support for their father and mother as they are

now financially stable and becasue my father will retire in the next few years?

2) Can my cousins be the agents their parents?

Thank you in advance

Pursuant to the final rule on Affidavits of Support,

http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01...006/06-5522.htm

For immediate relatives and family-based immigrants. The person

who filed the Form I-130 or Form I-600 immigrant visa petition (or the

Form I-129F petition, for a K nonimmigrant seeking adjustment), the

approval of which forms the basis of the intending immigrant's

eligibility to apply for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status as

an immediate relative or a family-based immigrant, must execute a Form

I-864 on behalf of the intending immigrant. If the intending immigrant

is the beneficiary of more than one approved immigrant visa petition,

it is the person who filed the petition that is actually the basis for

the intending immigrant's eligibility to apply for an immigrant visa or

adjustment of status who must file the Form I-864.

However, a joint sponsor may be used.
