hello i have a question about how the affidavit of support goes i was told by someone that my joint sponser has to be from yemen since my husband and i are from yemen and i am applying for him . our joint sponser is not from yemen he is an african american. has anyone went to their interview and have been told that their sponser has to be from yemen be cause this makes no sence and it was not stated on the i864 instruction where the sponser should be from....

That's not true. The cosponsor has to have a current job in the USA with an annual income over the poverty guideline indications per his/her household size, or have enough in assets to cover the responsibility. Just because your cosponsor isn't from Yemen doesn't mean a thing.

I agree with oohpartiv. Also, make sure during the interview that you have some time of knowledge of that person. Who that person is and what the person does, basically they want to make sure you have some time of relationship with that person. If you state that you don't really know that person really well, they probably would reject you and will ask you to have someone else to sponsor. Goodluck!

yea thats why i sent saana a message and asked about that and they replied by tellin me that my joint sponser would have to be a friend, relative, or college and he does not have to be from yemen .. becaus eso many people kept telling that people are being rejected because their joint sponsers are not from yemen.. anyway i hope everything goes well and thanks for the replies .....

i have another question though... my husband does not know the sponser but his father does and is friends with him and his son does that count as a friend....

It can be anyone. Doesn't have to directly be a friend. But they should know that what they sign is a legal binding contract with the US government.
