Here's the story:

 

My best friend from college got a scholarship to pursue a doctorate at Penn State U. To get the visa, though, he needs a sponsor. I'm hoping to help him and I'm preparing to file the I-134 for him. 

 

I'm married and have a kid, and my household income is of about 100k a year. I contribute to it with approximately 55k, the rest comes from my husband. We have no debt other than our mortgage and I we have investments for about $75k.

 

My question is: Can I file the I-134 on my own, without my husband as co-sponsor?

 

Thanks for all your answers!
