When Should Joint Sponsors File?

[only1majorup 0]

info about me.

• my dad is sponsoring me, i'm adult son unmarried living in the U.S. who has over stayed a visa ( since i was 8, i'm 37 now ), which also means i would need to apply for a waiver.

• my case or was filed or i got 1-130 notice of action petition of alien relative on October 2011 ( recieved date )

• Preference is a2B, i think there's another name for is F2B

• only thing is the 1-130 so far.

• my priority date isn't active till 2022 ( hiring lawyer in 2021 ), by that time though, we might move in with my sister cuz my dad is getting old. but to apply for visa or get a visa to come to u.s, i would have to leave the country for the interview.

I have two U.S citizen sisters, when should they send a joint sponsor ship thingy in? what it that form called, and where would they say that they are joint sponsor to my dad?

Sorry to give you this bad news, but I don't think there's any way to avoid a 10 year ban because of your overstay, unless you can prove "Extreme Hardship," which is notoriously difficult. You ought to consult a lawyer now.

if i'm denied the waiver, i have no plans leaving at all, my questions though is about when should the joint sponsor/s get involved in my processes, should they file now or closer to my priority date.

the affidavit of support is sent after the waiver is approved

 

nvc will contact your dad close to your priority date to request payments, forms and documents

 

you dad should only pay the forms but not send them. with the waiver, and the hardship letter, he needs to send proof of payment of the forms

 

once the waiver is approved, the process continues until the case is completed and you have your interview in your country of origin

what about my sister being joint sponsor, when should they do that?

 

NVC won't contact me? i thought hey would contact me besides my dad as well.

like I said, after the waiver is approved, and your dad send in the forms and documents

 

the i864 is part of the documents. they will contact you for some of the paperwork, but the majority is for your dad,

 

you will be naming a representative, an agent who will take care of the paperwork

so there's no point having any joint sponsor at all if the hardship waiver is denied?

so.

 

1. 1-30

2. priority date active

3. denied because i overstayed

 

when does the waiver come into this?

you have a 10 year ban, without an approval of a waiver, there is no GC

 

if you leave the country without a waiver approved, there are no guarantees they will approve another waiver while you are in your country, and you might have to wait out the 10 year ban in your country. so there is no point in continuing the process without a waiver approval

 

once immigration contacts your dad and request the payment of the forms, a copy of the payments must be sent with the waiver and hardship letter

what about joint sponsors, how do they get involved in that proccess or forms.

read my answers, when your dad sends in the forms, he will send his affidavit of support, plus the affidavit of support of the joint sponsor or co sponsors

are they the same forms? do they mark something different main/joint sponsor, do my sisters has to pay for the form, how much are the affidavit of support, is the form i-184 or i184?

[aleful 1,905]

if one of your sisters will be filing as the joint sponsor, she will file the i864, if your sisters file as the co sponsors because they all live at the same house, they each will file the i864A, your dad will pay for the affidavit of support, your sister's affidavits and financial documents are part of his affidavit of support

we might move in with my older sister in a different state because my dad may no longer be able to work when my priority date arrives, which is in 5 years. 

 

My younger sister would still be in Seattle, she files for i864 even if she's in a different state? 

 

as for adress change, do we change it to my sister who we will move in with?

if your dad is going to use her income, she can but she must be the sole joint sponsor, joint sponsors can't combine income, so she would need to cover you, herself and her family if she has one, your dad wouldn't need the help of your other sister

 

household members are the only ones that can combine income with the sponsor, as they live in the same house

she has a husband and 1 of her own child, she does have 2 step kids, but they'll be over 18 by then, so it's still i864a for her?
