Question about I-864 affidavit of support - sponsor

[FOSSLGRL 63]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am wondering if it's at all possible to use another US citizen who isn't my husband as my sole sponsor.

I am trying to avoid providing my husbands financial details if possible.

Thank you.

Your husband should be your main sponsor. That other US citizen can only be a co-sponsor if your husband's income does not meet the requirement.

Regardless, if your spouse is your petitioner, he will have to submit all of his financial documents. You can have joint sponsors, but the "sole" sponsor can only be your husband because of the nature of the visa. In your situation, there really is no way out of him providing his financial information.

Ahhh ok. Had a feeling that was the case. Thank you for the clarification

No, not possible.
