Joint Sponsor ?

[iceyspots 0]

Hi all.

As some of you may already know, I am nursing student and I've been working odd jobs on and off.. and I spent money on two trips to see my SO.. so.. obviously I don't have the means to sponsor my fiancé financially.. however.. my mother agreed to Joint Sponsor.. but.. she only files taxes every two years! She doesn't have a job right now, but she has hundreds of thousands in CD's and mutual funds. Would she still be able to joint sponsor my fiancé or would I have to find somebody else?

Thanks

Hey Jamie!

When I moved back to the US from Paris, I came back to the job I had before moving, but I had been without work for a year, so I was afraid it would look spotty as far as sponsoring Amed. I had my dad co-sponsor. He recently retired, so he didn't have a typical co-sponsor form with an employee letter and pay stubs attached. However, he did have print-outs of his banking statement as well as his 401k stock value. It must have been ok, because the CO looked at it all and didn't question Amed about it.

From what I have heard, if the co-sponsor has enough assets, that can offset the income requirement. I'm sure someone else has more info on this than I do, but you're not alone in your boat!

iceyspots,

Just remember that one has to show that they have the income and/or resources to support and supply the evidence to support that. Also that this evidence is seperate to the tax returns. Many are able to do an AOS when they are not required to submit tax returns. Its all about totality of circumstances and overcoming the public charge. The I-134 is also a different kettle of fish to the I-864 in as far as the level of evidence it will require. Be guided also by anything that is pertinent to the individual consulate of interview.

If you havent already, have a read of the oulines in the I-134 pinned thread HERE
