Can a cosponsor be a friend?

[FrozenGlitter 1]

I know that every embassy has slightly different requirements. We'll be going through London. I'm hoping to get a better job before NOA2, but this may not happen and none of my family meets the financial requirements for cosponsoring. However, I have several friends that do, if I can get any of them to agree to do it. Provided that they meet the criteria, will there be any issues with them being friends and not relatives? One of these possible people I've known 18 years. But one I only know online and haven't met. Knowing as I've heard that London tends to be less particular about cosponsors I'm thinking it would be ok? But what about later on when we apply for his AOS, if I still am not earning enough to do it alone?

Finally, can a foreign fiance's assets contribute or do only the American's count?

In general, a co-sponsor can be any USC or LPR that resides anywhere in the US.

The foreigner can self sponsor, if they can demonstrate enough cash / assets. Someone did it on here, I believe they could show around £200K. My fiancee (USC) had enough but I also showed them a print of my US dollar account which they were happy to have.

If they have a good bit of cash or assets then take along evidence to show this.
