Hey guys
My fiance and I filed our I129F back in January, expecting to have everything ready by next year. We got lucky enough that it was approved in 3 months and we can now schedule the interview.
The problem is that he didn’t meet the federal poverty guidelines because there were 4 months that he didn’t work as we were traveling together. We asked his mom to be our joint sponsor because we don’t want to have to wait until next year to file again and possible have to wait another 2/3 years to finally be together, but she spoke to a lawyer (not immigration) and he strongly advised her not to because he told her if I get sued (immigrant), they can go after her.
We know we should’ve waited until he met the guidelines but we didn’t think it’d be approved as fast and we thought his mom would help if needed as she always said she wishes there was anything she could do to help us out.
I have looked online to find out if what she was told is true but I can’t find that anywhere. Does anyone who’s been through the process have any insight? Thanks!
