Hello everybody!

Us embassy asked me original affidavit of support

After 2 weeks they called me to say me now i need joint sponsor:

My question is what a joint sponsor has to file and what documents he has to send me thanks all

Get a joint sponsor just in case.

A joint sponsor is someone else whose income for the latest year (in this case 2015) is well over the 125% poverty line.

I had a joint sponsor.

She makes more than the poverty line.

Sometimes the income was met..but only by a couple of thousands.

My joint sponsor for example...her annual income was $42,000.

Your joint sponsor also has to submit an aos form (i-864), and submit the tax returns for the past year. as well as any w-2's or tax worksheets.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I knew no other way than this, where 'I' does not exist, nor 'you'. So close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

I am the happiest man on earth .

After two years of filling , we were put in admin processing and were told to change the term on our marriage certificate because we had opted for polygamy .It took us 2 months to do that and what made it even more challenging is that I could not make the trip to Dakar .fortunately there were other ways to do that via the power of attorney

My wife was finally approved today for her visa without any setback .

thank God and thank all the support I have obtained from this forum .It gave me hope and helped me keep my sanity lol

particular thanks to all of you with whom I have been corresponding .

Feel free to ask me questions if you are going thru the same issue as I was ill be more than happy to give you my little cent.
