Not at all.  It is the petitioner’s responsibility to sponsor you or have you sponsored.

I assume you and your wife have discussed how you are going to afford living in the US.  From what I have seen, Consulate Officers are taking the "public charge" concern more seriously these days.  Having a minimally qualified sponsor/joint sponsor is not always successful now.

if your wife is not working how are the two of you going to live?

 

life here is not cheap.

 

i doubt granpa wants 2 full grown dependents to care for, clothe, feed, etc

Can grandpa offer her a job at his store? Is she looking for work? How is she paying her rent and utilities? How will she afford another person in the household?

I think the totality of your and your wife's situation might be a little tricky. In your other post I saw that you also have a child in this (which is another dependent) so it might be a challenge.

Going to school to learn English is good of course, and I hope this will incease your chances of landing a job in the US quickly so keep working hard to master your English skills.

 

Is the fact that your wife does not work a decision or an unfortunate circumstance? It might help if she has a job and shows some financial stability.

I think your case/situation is not an ideal one. However, I have seen a lot of these around here.

Hey thank y'all for your replies ... so my wife has a learning disability and she can't work but she takes 757$ each month because of it plus food stamps and medicaid ... she is living with her grandma and granpa and they help here in staying at their house ... however we talked about that before and when i get there of course im gonna work hard for her and our child ( i have already a bachelor degree here )  so this is the whole situation ... i hope i clarified things ... so what y'all think about this situation and how the officer will look at it ? 

Thanks

We have no way of knowing how it will be looked at.

Apart from the financial situation (which looks even less ideal to me now), other aspects will also be looked at. How many times have you visited each other? After how many visits did you get married? How many visits since the marriage etc. The totality of your circumstances will decide if your visa will be granted.

So after what i have read i guess the joint sponsor is not important at all !

It is! How did you draw the conclusion that it is not from the answers?

BOTH the financial AND the other circumstances are important.

Based on her income, I don’t think that is enough so yes she will very probably need a joint sponsor actually.

In what field will you be looking for employment?

[JFH 12,191]

If the learning disability prevents her from working, is she able to sign documents? Does she understand the forms? Does she have a power of attorney in place for this? It sounds like she can’t live independently - was she legally able to consent to the marriage?

 

I agree with the others regarding the public charge issue. It’s one thing to be temporarily unemployed but able to work and looking for work. It’s quite another to be permanently unable to work.

Do you have red flags such as a large age gap, different religions, etc?

i meant even after having a joint sponsor they will be still looking at her income ..... normally the joint sponsor will provide for me what i need  few weeks before i find a job and a house .... so i think it's not a big deal since it's just a temporary .

yes she is able to understand talk and sign papers and she is so smart and it's just she gets irritated around people and she is very shy towards others than her family and she can't handle the stress of work ... i love her and i wanna work for her for all the rest of our life ... i know life won't be easy without her working but she just wanted to stay at the house and take care of our child and it's fine with me 

i mean why will they look at her ability to work instead of looking at my ability to work 

we already took a attorney it's been 1 year and a half but he was dishonnest so we are gonna start the folder together !

Read about the public charge issue. They need to know her income and situation because of this. What if you don’t find a job immediately?

alright i'm reading about it now , and that's why i'm gonna have a joint sponsor , if i don't find a job immediately he is gonna sponsor me ( living in his house etc ...) and i'm gonna also take money with me ( i saved money while i was working here )
