AOS of a Person with disability

[Terenz Andrei 0]

Hello,

I had a 17 year old son who happened to be a Person with disability. My wife is an American Citizen. Our petition has already been approved and already filed for our visa application. However my wife is not responding for the Affidavit of Support. My son is qualified for an Automatic Citizen upon arrival. Is there anything i can do to bring my son in the United States considering he is a minor. My wife can no longer work due to her disability of sight ( partially blind )What im asking only is to give us the Affidavit of support.....Is there anything else i can do? What should i do?

If she is not working how would she meet the requirements of the the I 864?

 

But to answer your question if she does not want to sponsor that is her call.

To clarify.

Is your son the biological son of your wife? If not, are you a USC?

 

If your wife is the petitioner for your son then she's the de-facto primary sponsor of affidavit of support. If she does not want to sponsor then it's her right.

Are you working? You can be the joint sponsor if your wife's income doesn't qualify.

I'd think OP would be a co-sponsor, not joint sponsor, if he and his wife file taxes together.

As said above, more info is needed - specifically whether this is your wife’s son as well. 

 

But do consider medical issues as well. I’m not sure if your son has any ongoing healthcare needs, but if so it’s not the place to move to without seriously good insurance. Assuming your wife is happy to continue with the sponsorship (if not, there will be no visa), then she should make sure your son can be added as a dependent on her health insurance before you move.
