Hi yall, been a while for me, recently got back from my 2nd fiance visit.

I have had many problems like divorce & having to start a life over from scratch at a good ole ripe age, i have even made a major relocation from Missouri to Texas, and am having troubles just getting on my feet just so i can file for my fiance visa, and i need to know if anyone has had any experience in which they have had government assistence like food stamps, govt housing & medicaid or govt assistence of any kind and then filing thier visa. No i don't want to use the system for help, but i need to use the job skills training program, i sincerely need help, iam not an abuser of the system and i have never used it before but its hard starting over at age 48 with nothing. and i know i don't want to jeapordize my fiance coming...i will suffer first!

I don't understand exactly how the sponsorship works, but my son is going to sponser my fiance who makes over the poverty guidelines that are set...but i need to know if i were to get govt assistence would that hinder it....my senses are telling me, yea dont use govt help cuz they will deny my applications...

and does it work that way? as in my son sponsors him or is it my son is a co sponsor with me?

thx!

I asked the same question to my lawyer...I had baby sitting assistance for my kids...he advised me that I should really try not to use any kind of assistance, even with a co-sponser, I dont know how much truth there is to what he told me. What I did was work 2 jobs so i did not need a co sponser and I could also then pay for the baby sitting that I needed...it was not much. I dont know your situation but that was my experience.

How are you going to show the income to support the beneficiary? Assistance won't work!

I would say that being on public assistance of any type would be a red flag and probably cause a denial. The point of the Affidavit of Support is to promise that you will take care of your fiance and not require public assistance. If you are already receiving public assistance, well then.....? What do you think? If you read the form is specifically says do you promise not to become a public charge? If you're getting assistance, then you are already a public charge so your fiance coming here would also become a public charge. They won't allow him to come over if the government is going to have to take care of both of you and that's how they will see it. I suggest you get back on your feet financially so that you can support yourself and your fiance until he can get a job of his own.
