Hello VJ Family,

It is been awhile that we posted on this site. Our marriage and immigration journeys are going well.I have a question on behalf of our friends who are now in the NVC stage of their CR1.

I will like to know if we (my wife and I) can help as a co-sponsor?

I have looked at the I864A section 8 and I just want to confirm if other relationship referred to on that section 8 could be interpreted as: Friends, Cousins etc.

And can we combine the sponsors income with that of the co-sponsor to meet the poverty threshold requirements OR the co-sponsor alone has to meet that requirement all by themselves????

I am LPR with 2 years conditional green card.

Many thanks for your prompt advise and suggestions as usual!!!!

AND is it possible to use 401k savings as other income to meet the poverty requirement threshold?

To combine all the incomes---the sponsor (friend) and joint sponsor(you) would have to be related (parent, child, sibling, spouse) as well as live under the same roof...ie, share a home.

You can be a joint sponsor by doing an I-864 and combine income with your spouse. She would do the I-864A. Your family size for meeting the needed amount would be you + your spouse + your kids + the immigrant..

Can the sponsor use her 401k Savings to meet the requirement. She did not earn any income last year but she has some money in 401k savings?
