I 864 Affidavit of support

[Nina Sv 0]

Hi,

I help my friend with filing documents for his wife. Now we stuck with Affidavit of support. My friend doesn't have any income due to his illness. I can be a joint sponsor, but not sure how to file. I understand that it has to be two different forms - I 864. IS that true?

Have you read the instructions? It will guide you to which form to use.

some embassies do not accept a joint sponsor

so,  more information is needed here 

What country?

and not working becuase of illness??

 

is the USC on public medicaid ?

is the USC getting any income from being disabled like short term (6 months ) insurance monies?

is the USC applying for or getting SSI?

 

seriously embassy will ask "how did the USC afford  travel to meet the person if they have no income ?"   often asked when someone uses a joint sponsor

Please tell us know at what stage are they are (waiting for interview or already in the USA) and the visa (CR-1/IR-1 or K1) that she is pursuing or has already used. Our answer is dependent on clear information.

 

BTW we need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.
 
So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

My friend is a US citizen.

No income, no SSI. He was diagnosed with Lymphoma(cancer), had a treatment and survived. He applied for disability, but they declined.

He went to Ukraine where are his wife and baby son.

USCIS approved his petition for Alien relative, and Embassy in Ukraine waiting for Affidavit of support.

Your friend as the petitioner/sponsor must file an I-864 for his wife.

 

You as the Joint Sponsor file your own I-864.

Please read the I-864 instructions.

Has your friend filed a CRBA with the US Embassy for his son?  Has he filed for a US passport for his son?

You can try, but be aware that many consular officers would want to see a joint sponsor who is more than a 'friend'.  Most people would not take on that financial responsibility for anyone other than a close relative, if that.

All US embassies allows for a Joint Sponsor filing an I-864.  It's not the I-134.

No, my friend didn't file a CRBA with the US Embassy for his son, neither for a US passport for his son.

He should do both.

The child/son then is a USC and will need a passport and completion of the CRBA at the embassy. No visa is necessary for the child. Instructions are on the Ukraine Website for the CRBA process. The completion of the I-864, Affidavit of Support will be required of the petitioner and the co-sponsor. It's best to have co-sponsor that is a sibling or other relative as they seem to be the best chance to be approved.
