Hi all...

Can someone please confirm that the co-sponsor sponsor needs not be actually working, as long as their 'income' meets the requirements? Her brother is no longer a viable option for us, so we are looking at her step-dad, but he is currently off work after an accident but in receipt of insurance payments.

Also, would he have to include his wife (Tiffs mum) as well as his son who live in the same house, even if his wife works herself? And if so, can both her step-dad and her mum act as co-sponsors...and if so...how does that work with meeting the minimum financial requirements?

Getting desperate now as we are rapidly running out of people who will/can/are eligible to help us :(

Any advice be helpful, thanks.

As long as the income from the disability insurance covers the household size and he can prove how much the payments are, it's fine.

If her parents file joint taxes, they will both be on the co sponsorship papers. She will have to provide proof of her income as well and also fill out the affidavit of support paperwork.

If her brother is claimed as a dependent on their parents taxes, he counts as a household member. If he isn't, then he doesn't count.

So if it's mom+ step dad+ brother+ you= 4 household

Thanks for the reply, and if her parents file their taxes separately...then just be one parent + younger brother + me correct?

Correct.

If step-dad needs more income, you might be better off using mom as the co sponsor.
