Hi, I'm hoping that some of you more experienced people can give some advice on the affadavit of support. I am currently working only part time and don't have sufficient income to meet the 125% poverty level standards (although I have savings, my understanding is that current income level is mandatory, right?), so I will need a co sponsor. My potential co sponsor is wondering exactly what are the financial obligations of co sponsors? For example, if my fiance got sick and we were not able to cover the medical bills ourselves, would the co sponsor be required to pay for them or take a loan out on property to cover the bills? How far does the financial obligation go?

thanks for any help.

My understanding is the sponsor and/or co-sponsor's responsibility is to ensure the financial means of the sponsored person so they will not become dependant on government support of any kind.

:thumbs: That is what you/co-sponsor is signing, that you will pay back any means tested benefits that the beneficiary may use. Good thing to look into medical insurance even before he arrives to see what your options are, better to be safe.

bobogirl,

The obligation of a K-visa sponsor is a moral obligation. They can turn their back and don't have to put forth a penny if they decide that they don't want to.
