Affidavit of Support- Joint Sponsors

[YankeeDoodleWifey 0]

Hello Everyone!

I'm relatively new to this site. I used it immediately after I got married and have found that we are on the visa road again!

I'll give a brief run-down. I married my husband in June 2007. We have been living together in the UK since Sept 2007. My spousal visa to the UK is expiring in Sept 2009, so we have decided to move back to the states.

We are planning to file the K-3 for my husband next Saturday. We are praying for the visa to be approved before my visa expires, so that we have no forced time apart. We are doing Direct Consular Filing as we have done some research and saw that the London office has some good statistics.

So, in doing my research, I've noticed the affidavit of support. I've been in the UK for 2 years almost and have no American funds or UK savings that equals the 125% above the 2009 poverty numbers. This means I will need a joint sponsor. We are planning to live with my sister so I was wondering if my sister's husband would be eligible to be the joint sponsor. I looked at the form and see that it says 'brother', but obviously he is my brother-in-law. Is this possible, or am I just pulling at straws? My sister is attending university so isn't working full-time, otherwise, we'd just use her!

I'd love any help anyone can offer on this, as it may mean that I have to leave my lovely husby behind in order to bring him home.

Thank you.

Hi! Since you are both living abroad; you are eligibile for DCF (Direct consular filing); which is faster and much better since it results in an immigrant visa instread of a K non-immigrant visa.

You would always remain the main sponsor and get a co-sponsor to help out. And yes, your BIL can absolutely be the co-sponsor.

Any USC can sponsor with you. (that meets the criteria)

A joint sponsor can be any U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or lawful permanent resident who is at least 18 years old,domiciled in the United States, or its territories or possessions,and willing to be held jointly liable with the petitioner for the support of the intending immigrant. A joint sponsor does not have to be related to the petitioning sponsor or the intending immigrant

Oh, you really have made my year. That is WONDERFUL! We had noticed that London had a quick turnaround time and have seen that they require less- ie they ask that you only send in one G325 each, as opposed to the 4 you are asked to submit in the states.

YES!! Get in!

Once again, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

:dance: :dance: my sweetie is coming to Minnesota :dance: :dance: and we don't have to be apart for months on end :dance: :dance: hopefully!

G325 is one form that has the same info on 4 separate pages.

I'm from Minnesota too.

About the G325, if you fill it out electronically (by computer), you only type in the info once and then it automatically fills in the same stuff on the other 3 pages. So it's not as bad as you think.
