I-864 question (Affidavit of support)

[clairebear24 3]

I am petitioning my son and my husband and I have no income so my best friend agreed to be a sponsor, she has only been working for a year and she's only 23. She has a green card. She makes 60k a year. My question is:

Can she be a cosponsor even if she's only been employed for a year and is only an LPR?

What will she put in the relationship to sponsored immigrant? Can she put godmother to my son? how about to my husband? would it be alright to put in friend? Or would that discourage the consular officers given the relationship?

Thank you very much!

additional question:

even if my bestfriend meets the requirement can i get my cousin as a 2nd joint sponsor(she makes around 60k also but she's been working for 20 years now)? just to better support my i-864?

- For the most part, it should be okay. She'll need to list the income from her last 3 year tax returns but, if she doesn't have for all 3 years then she'll need to provide a letter stating why (student, no income etc.).

- Being an LPR is no problem. The CO may be a little iffy on the fact that she's only worked one year but, provide a lot of financial evidence such as recent pay stubs and a letter from an employer.

- You don't need to list the relationship since it's not necessary that the joint sponsor be related to the person they are sponsoring. They just need to be a legal resident, over the age of 18 and living in the US.

You should pick one joint sponsor. If your cousin is willing to do it, and they earn enough to cover their household and your husband & son, then I would suggest going with the cousin.
