Affidavit of Support - Joint Sponsor (merged)

Hi all! Sorry to be a pain but just bumping this thread, we still haven't found our answer. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi, from what I've learned there shouldn't be an issue by using anyone as long as the co-sponsor is a LPR or a US Citizen and makes above the 100% of the current poverty guidelines. For a I-134 the 100% should be enough but try to make sure to meet the 125% just because you will be doing AoS later on. Some embassy do not allow a co-sponsor but I do not believe there would be a problem for Australia. Some just ask for the last tax return, some might want for the last 2-3 years tax return.

 

The problem that might arise in your case is that if the co-sponsor has been unemployed for a while and is just recently that he got the job, even if with that income he technically makes over 125%, by the time you get to the interview (Assuming you recently filed a K1/I-129F), the most recent tax transcript might not show he makes enough. As tax transcript/W-2 are one of the main pieces of evidence that back up the information on the I-134. If that is your case, you might need to look for another co-sponsor.

If there is anything incorrect in this, please correct.

Hi everyone! I've been very busy and haven't had a lot of time I look into this for a while. Currently revisiting it now. Has anybody got a list of things my partner and their dad need to provide as evidence when filling out the I-134? Or is there a website that could assist? Thanks!
