co-sponsor clarification obligation

[sklind42 0]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a bit distraut and hurt currently due to the fact that i was previously gonna be able to count my aunts income (i live with her) as a means of "Total Household Income", to petition my fiance here. She has changed her mind and will not allow me to use her income to do this. So now, I'm needing a "co-sponsor" and I need clarification on something please.

When a co-sponsor is used, does the co-sponsor have to count the petitioner and their dependents along with the intended immigrant when figuring the "income guideline" or is it just the co-sponsors dependents along with the intended immigrant?

Example... co-sponsor + 1 household dependent +immigrant for a total of 3. Income requirement of $20,750.00.

Please qlarify if this is correct.

Thanks for all help & good luck to everyone traveling this journey.

Blessings,

Unless the petitioner is a part of that household, no, the petitioner would not be counted. Only the co-sponsor, the members of that co-sponsor's household, and the beneficiary would be counted to make up household size.

For example: my father co-sponsored for us. I do not live at home and have not since I was 18. So, the household size listed was 4: mom, dad, my brother, and the beneficary-my fiance.

That was the answer I got, way back when I asked the same question long ago! Hope that helps.
