Beneficiary father able to provide support?

[daffron 2]

Hey,

My partner, the us citizen, is currently living here with me in new zealand, and we both plan on going back together to the states, so obviously her income there is currently 0.

Her father is going to co-sponsor but is self employed so may be a little complicated, so I was wondering if my father here in New Zealand, could complete on also?

Cheers

They must be a US citizen or LPR to financially sponsor.

That's not correct, the sponsor must be a resident of the US - but it doesn't matter if they are a citizen or not.

The beneficiary's father cannot sponsor because he does not live in the US.

A Joint Sponsor must meet all these requirements;

1. Be over age 18; AND

2. Be either a USC or LPR; AND

3. Be domiciled in the US; AND

4. Meets or exceed the 125% poverty level with income and/or assets for his/her household size.
