CO-SPONSORSHIP

[valentine 0]

PLEASE I WANT SOMEONE AT THERE IN THIS FORUM TO LET ME ME WHETHER

THE INS LAW DOES NOT WELCOME OR ACCEPT CO- SPONSORSHIP.

MY USC FIANCE JUST STOP WORKING IN NOVEMBER 2005 ON AN ANNULLY PAY OF 25K FOR ONLY

HER. AND HAS TAX TO SHOW FOR THAT.

PRESENTLY SHE IS NOT WORKING AMD THE MUM MAKES UP TO 90K ANNUALLY FOR HER ELF ALONE,NO DEPENDENT.

MY QUESTION, CAN THE MUM STANDS AS HER CO- SPONSOR?

MY INTERWIEW IS ON 25 THIS MONTH AT LAGOS NIGERAIN.

SOMENEO IN AFRICAN- SUB TOLD ME THAT LAGOS EMBASSY DOES NOT ACCEPT CO- SPONSORSHIP.

IS THIS TRUE?

IS THERE ANY IMMIGRATION LAW THAT SAYS SOME EMBASSY WILL NOT ACCEPT CO SPONSOR?

I APPRECIATE ANY WORTH WHILE AND FACTAUL RESPOSE TO THIS QUESTION.

THANK YOU IN ADVACE.

Ahem. Caps lock. Please press that button. >_>'

As far as I know, your fiancée's mother can be a co-sponsor.

Its not the embassies that make the LAW.

Co-sponsorship is accepted everywhere. Although, procedures may vary form one country to another.

From what I know, co sponsorship is accepted worldwide.

What they maybe could have meant was the form used for sponsoring, maybe..i.e I-134 or I-864.

If you have any doubts at all-you should call the embassy that you are interviewing at, or contact the USCIS office that approved the petition.

best of luck

You might want to post your questions in African forum where people has specific knowledge on the consulates. Not all consulates operates in similar manner. Vietnam is a good example regarding co-sponsor issue on I-134

VALENTINE,

For a K visa the INA does not specify that the petitioner must be the sponsor. As for other non-immigrant visas, if a sponsor is required then anyone who meets the qualifications can be the sponsor.

Recognize, however, that the consular officials have a great deal of discretion in determining if a particular sponsor qualifies.

Also recognize that, as one immigration attorney put it on an internet discussion group, 'the continuum of fraud levels is low-fraud - medium-fraud - high-fraud - Nigeria'. If the consulate in Lagos sets unusually high standards it's apparently for good reason.
