Help finding a Joint sponsor or co-sponsor

[Helothere 6]

My american girlfriend lives in Florida, and doesn't want to leave (I'd prefer she comes here, but life isn't perfect) she isn't earning enough to meet the minimum income requirements, does anyone here know where I can find a co-sponsor or joint sponsor? I refuse to be a financial burden on anyone and will sign a legally enforceable document that will restrict the amount of money spent on me and will require me to pay them back anything that is spent on me within a month.

Your alternate suggestion is not an option. Joint sponsor .. friend or relative who is a USC or LPR.. or she gets a better paying job or gets second job to bring her above the threshold

ofcourse I can sign a legally enforceable document that I will pay back everything the joint sponsor ends up paying for me.

A job at Walmart would meet the requirements.

not an entry-level one

I was in my local Wally World yesterday, they are starting people at $19

 

$19 x 40 x 50 = $38,000 Well above the requirements.

 

Maybe they pay less in Florida but it would have to be SIGNIFICANTLY less not to meet the requirements.

this is not up to u,  the benefiary ,  to find joint sponsor unless u can offer family of yours in the US to help

 

u say GF but listed under spouse visa /which is it?

 

Florida minimum wage is $13 and hour/   she can take on a part time job as even 20 hours a week adds over $13000 a year to income

 

so she needs to decide 

1  find a  joint sponsor 

2. look for better job to meet requirements

3.  get a 2nd job

 

u say u can sign a prenup,  that does not satisfy the petitioner and joint sponsor I 864 agreement with US government

the co sponsor is responsible, financially for you for 10 years, or until you become a US citizen, if you decide to. 
 

there is no getting away or ‘signing’ that away. That’s the legal position.

Untrue, read the I864

I never said there was signing this away. I would sign something that doesn't stop them from paying for my things, but something that forces me to pay them back.

I will marry her before I get sponsored to the US. Also, she is a full time student, so doesn't have 20 hours a week to sacrifice to a job.

You are making things harder than they need to be. Listen to the advice above from these VJ veterans. If you and your GF/ Fiacee.. cannot meet the requirements.

she needs to find a sponsor plain and simple, and work on that part. and if that part cannot get done.. your whole process needs rethinking.

You must remember yall would still have to get enough money to pay for (airline tickets, and AOS fees. food & housing.. etc)

Sign what you want to.  It’s not an option for this process.

I suggest she join us here for this conversation.  I also suggest you both study the I-134 and I-864 instructions. Googling I-864 joint sponsor might be helpful also.
