Co-sponsorship + Documents to show ownership of home in U.S.

[andreamo 1]

Sorry for all these posts. I thought it would be easier to post each question separately...

I own a duplex in the U.S. The deed is in my father's name as well as my name, simply because I need him to have power of attorney to deal with any issues arising with it, as I live outside the U.S. and it is rented out to two families. The mortgage is solely in my name.

Will this ownership be sufficient to not need a co-sponsor? I have savings and investments in my name in the U.S. in addition to the home. And if it sufficient, what documents do they want to see to prove ownership? Will a printout of my monthly mortgage statement be enough?

Thank you.

Thanks for that. I exceed the minimum requirements by quite a bit. However, I do not currently live in the U.S. so I think I must show that I have ties there in order to be able to sponsor my husband. That's why I asked about the mortgage documents needed. In addition, I am leaving the UAE before my husband to move back to the U.S. and I might not have a job by the time he has his interview.

Because your dad is also on the deeds, only half of what you own free and clear counts. Ie hyou get a recent evaluation of the house, divide by two, subtract whatever you owe the bank and what remains is the asset portion you can use for the affidavit of support.

Actually you subtract the amount owed on the building before dividing by 2. Math matters.
