Can a Retired Person Be a Joint Sponsor?

[pipopop 0]

Hi all,

 

I received a Request for Initial Evidence (I-485) for an Adjustment of Status Application about 4 weeks ago. USCIS is requesting that I find a joint sponsor. The person who's offered to help me out is retired but they meet all the qualifications listed on the I-864 instructions.

 

Can a retired person be a joint sponsor? I haven't found any information online so I would appreciate your input/feedback.

 

Thank you in advance,

Felipe

If they have the financial means sure

as long as they have enough retirement income or assets to sponsor you.

Yes as long as they meet the financial requirements

Thanks a bunch, y'all!

 

Since they're no longer working, what sort of evidence of income should they submit?

Read the instructikns sheet for the I864 form.... they will need proof of income from retirement streams, and or proof of liquid assets

I have and I am still unsure what type of documentation would qualify. Does a retirement stream need to be created or do retired folks receive them on a regular/monthly basis?

Unless they have a large sum of cash/investments then I would probably say assets, such as a car or house. 

 

My joint sponsor is retired and we just included her investment portfolio and deed to her house along with an evaluation.
