Hello guys!! Will it be an issue in our application process that our joint sponsor is laid off from the job temporarily due to COVID19. But will start work soon after all this is over. Gimme your thoughts! Thanks

Where are you in the process right now?

A joint sponsor can only qualify for the I-864 if their current income and/or assets are sufficient. If unemployed (and assets are insufficient), they would no longer qualify to submit an I-864.

Technically, if an I-864 was submitted prior to losing their source of income, it is still valid. But they can always request a new I-864 from the sponsor, which would be a problem if they are still unemployed.

We haven’t filed the i 864 yet. We were having second thoughts if it will effect submitting it during the lay off. What can we do now if there’s no one else we can get help from?

^See above. If his current income is insufficient, he does not qualify to submit an I-864 at this time.

Find a new joint sponsor or wait it out.

You can find a better job, wait until the joint sponsor has a job, or find someone else. Those are the only options.
