can his uncle co-sponsor my fiance?

[Marry Laboski 0]

There is a problem, No one in my home can sponsor my fiance because no one has tax papers or W2 papers ! There is his uncle who can sponsor him, but he is not related to me, his uncle is not my relative! I live in California and his uncle lives in CT ! Do you think his uncle can become a co-sponsor ? Now that I have filed a petition and everything is going good, i don't want something bad to happen ! Please help me and tell me what can i do ?

Co-sponsor can be any one does not have to b ur relative as long as he is green card holder or citizen and have enough income to sponsor you he can do it.

As mentioned, anyone who lives in the USA and is a greencard holder or US citizen can sponsor. Friends, co-workers, family member, someone you know from the mosque etc. So yes, his uncle can sponsor. The CO may question it a bit (it could be seen as him "buying:" a greencard, especially if you/ your family are significantly poorer than his), but it is allowed.

Jan Ghalib, you have posted your question numerous times into other peoples' threads..... even when their subject matter is not even remotely connected to yours. This is called thread hijacking and is not forum etiquette. When you have a question you should start your own thread. I have copied and moved a response from another thread over here:

You should start your own thread for your questions.

You have to sponsor him, you are the person petitioning him. You can have a co-sponsor or joint sponsor but you still have to provide sponsor forms. You will also need to provide proof as to why you do not have to file your taxes.

If his family is going to co-sponsor him for your petition it will likely be red flagged. Pakistan is VERY different from Canada and is more harsh and has harder guidelines you need to go to your own regional forum and ask them in there.

Thank you very much for your help ! I really appreciate that !

I have one more question ! I tried to calculate, but at every website i found different results !

My question is that if his uncle has 2 kids and a wife and he has to sponsor him, then how much should his early income be ?

[Penguin_ie 5,993]

Uncle+ wife+ 2 kids+ immigrant= 5 people in the household. Assuming he doesn't live in Alaska or Hawaii, that means he needs a minimum of $32'712 dollars. You can look up the poverty guidelines here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=73c63591ec04d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Thank you ! Is it fine if his uncle has sponsored 4 more people before ?

Then he needs to count these 4 people also (making a household of 9- needing $51'812 income), UNLESS his sponsorship of them has run out (they have become US citizens, worked for ten years, died or left the USA permanently).
