do any bondsmen type cover the affadavit of support?

[justanea 1]

my income is not "taxable" and I don't have the 3 year's worth of 20k per year in any event. so is there a way to get my gf here from Philippines.?

I hope to make 60k this year with a new biz, but I do not know if that total will fulfill the "3 year, 20k per year" requirment for an affadavit of support?

No, no such thing as "bondsman" to "cover" the affidavit of support. If you do not qualify you need a joint sponsor.

Then you may need to ask your family members to be your co-sponsor and have them fill out I-864A and include their income and asset evidences.

ok, thanks. I am a veteran, so my fiance, once we marry, will be eligible for free medical care thru thie VA. Can somebody please tell me the maximum amount that my joint/co sponsor will be "on the hook for' if they sign the affadavit of support? I know my family and they are going to ask this question! :-) I think that it would be limited to public housing ($400 per month) and ($180 per month) food stamps, should she go on such support. Is there anything else that I am unaware of? thanks.

I-864 is binding until:

• Immigrant leaves USA and gives up residency, OR;
  
• Immigrant Naturalizes and becomes a citizen, OR;
  
• Immigrant works and is credited with 40 quarters of work per SSA, OR;
  
• Immigrant dies, OR;
  
• Sponsor dies

Current income is the income that counts, filing taxes is a separate issue.

Wait until you can show income, PI do not like co sponsors.

Mainly direct cash assistance from the government is considered being a "public charge."

You make 60K this year and you have to use public housing and food stamp? It doesn't sound right here.

[justanea 1]

I do not use public support. I am asking this question to be able to tell my co sponsors what they are risking, that's all. the 60k is what I HOPE to make with my new biz.

[Boiler 45,516]

You can only comment on what currently comprises public support, that may well change in the future.

If you are looking for a Co-sponsor to get through the PI embassy you need to be looking at a family member. For K1's they are very strict and rarely approve those that have co-sponsors anyway.

Your co-sponsor needs to make the guideline for their household size plus your fiance.

It is my understanding that in most cases the Veterans spouse qualifies for medical care only if the Veteran is retired, or 100% totally and permentaly service connected disabled.

[justanea 1]

no, that is not correct, all spouses of vets qualify for full medical benefits, and so do minor children, even if adopted.
