What is needed with joint sponsors ?

[Ms Niss 0]

Hello VJ,

I turns out i may need a joint sponsor although I meet the income required am’ on (temporary layoff)

I want to make sure this is what the joint sponsor needs!?

- Bar-coded cover sheet from payment portal
- Cover letter (optional)

- Completed, signed, and dated I-864 of joint sponsor
- Tax information* of joint sponsor (either just the last year OR the last 3 years)
- Proof of US citizenship/residency of joint sponsor (ex: copy of US passport, US birth certificate, US naturalization certificate, or front & back of green card)
- Employment letter of joint sponsor (optional, but good proof of CURRENT income)
- Pay stub(s) of joint sponsor (optional, but good proof of CURRENT income)

We don’t’ needs anything to fill out together or sign (I and the joint sponsor)

Or any proof to show our friendship relationship?

I’m sure we don’t need: (Contract between Sponsor and Household Member? Since He is not a household/family member?

Your advice, input is appreciated

Thank you

The only time it's suggested that you prove your relationship with the joint sponsor, is when it's a parent. If your joint sponsor isn't one of your parents, then those things you listed are fine, and you won't have to include anything else.

Please be aware that the petitioner is still considered the primary sponsor, and will still have to fill in an I-864 and send along the same requirements as the joint sponsor (unless the petitioner is/has been unemployed for a long period of time, in which case they should attach a letter explaining why they haven't been required to file taxes).
