Trying to move to my family in the US

[Matthew Smith 0]

Hi if they is anyone with good knowledge on this area that can help it would be much appreciated.

 

I am currently in the UK and trying to find a way to the US so I can live with my fiance and her child, we currently do not have anyone who is able to joint sponsor us and due to her being disabled she is unable to work to make enough money to bring me there as she makes less than $500 a month

Is there anything I can do so that I can go support them both and be together

Sorry, you will absolutely need a joint sponsor.  There is nothing you can do to bypass this requirement.

2 things. 

 

1. Getting married and doing DCF in the UK is much much faster (about 3 months total) providing she is a legal resident there and you would have a green card from day 1, allowing you to work in the US immediately.  

 

2. If you are married I believe the UK is also one of very few countries allowing self-sponsorship, meaning could use your income. I'm about 80% sure of this....someone will correct me if I'm wrong

Focus on finding a joint sponsor, family, friend whatever.

 

Use assets, basically 3x the missing income.

 

PS you can self sponsor a K1, not a CR1.

How would she qualify to file DCF?  The petitioner lives in the US.
