Advice on payment to NVC and affidavit of support

[Needhelp345 0]

So I'm looking for some advice. Is it ok if I use my family's bank account to make payment to the NVC as I do not have an American bank account. It's been awhile since I've been back in the United States.

 

And my second question about the affidavit of support. I need a cosponsor. Who can that be? Is it only close family? And does it need to be filed right after the affidavit of support fee has been paid? Sorry for all of the confusing questions.

Yes, you can use any bank account.  What you need is a "joint sponsor".  Who can BE that, is spelled out clearly in the I-864 instructions you MUST become an A Student of.  I would add that the joint sponsor is best to be somebody who would be motivated to actually provide support, it needed.  If they are married, their spouse should also provide an I-864a.

Thank you I will go reread the instructions again. I'm stressed out so I must have missed it. Sorry yeah I forgot the correct terminology I apologize.

The I-864 is the most complicated form in the process.  It is even more complicated when using a joint sponsor.  We are here to answer questions, but there is no substitute for the instructions.  There are more requirements for joint sponsoring and additional supporting documents for joint sponsors, clearly spelled out in the instructions.
