Foreign co-sponsor???

[Allie and Nigel 2]

My Canadian parents co-sponsored me when I first came here to the U.S. Now I'm a US-citizen and petitioning my now NEW husband (thank God). Anyways, I dont remember how we did it when it came to non-US citizens sponsoring. Is it the same way/guidelines/paperwork?

Thanks.

Sponsors must be US citizens, LPR's, or lawfully admitted non-resident with a valid I-94. If your parent meets one of those criteria then they may be a co-sponsor.

Very strange, mind you this was 16yrs ago, when I immigrated here from Canada, I know for a fact my parents co-sponsored me because my ex made like....NO money ...lol ....and my family's 100% Canadian. I just wish I knew what we did last time!

I am not sure about 16 years ago, but nowadays, the co-sponsor MUST live in the USA legally (ie citizen or LPR). So unless your parents live in the USA, they cannot be co-sponsors. The only way they could help you is by giving you money to put in a savings account or buy a house with etc, so you can then sponsor on assets. However, recently moved money in an account is sometimes viewed as suspicious as the CO may thin k you'll transfer it back to the foreigner after the visa is approved.
