HELP Please need Advice about being Sponsored

[LivA 6]

So my situation is the last three years I have been in graduate school making very little money working as a teachers assistant. I just now have finished my Masters and is making a larger income and a different position. Since I have to show the last 3 years tax returns would I still need a sponsor because I made under the federal poverty guidelines?

See I originally had a sponosor my best friend.But she got pregnant and went on bed rest early and is not going back to work after the baby.So I cant use her right? I dont know what to do.I really need help. Plus my dad thinks if I use him and something happens to my fiance the government could take his money or something bad would happen.

You need to find another co-sponsor. You'll need someone who can understand the scope of such responsibility. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=720b0a5659083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=720b0a5659083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

You will need a co-sponsor if you cannot provide enough evidence that you earn above the federal poverty guidelines. If you currently make above the federal poverty guidelines you need to submit your 2011 tax form you need a letter from your employer stating you work for them, how long you have worked for them and your annual income with their contact information. You also need to submit this years pay stubs showing that you are above the poverty lines. If your tax form from 2011 shows below it won't be held against you if you provide the other evidence. So for two people you need to make over $18,912. I just went through this with the consulate in Casablanca and my husband has his visa as of last week!
