Problem getting a sponsor :(

[Martin and Tricia 0]

what will happen if we don't have any documents regarding sponsoring at the interview ? we are having a hard time finding someone to co-sponsor.

what do we do, if we don't find a sponsor before the interview ?

They will usually give you some more time- 30 0r b90 days is common- and then deny the visa if you still can't fullfill the AOS.

That's what they do at the interview. The method used is to give you a denial slip indicating ineligibility due to section 221g of the immigration act. That slip should then have a box checked indicating they need an affidavit of support.

HOWEVER, most consulates won't give you an interview UNTIL you send them a checklist indicating you have the financial papers (I-134 package) in your possession. Some don't give an interview until after you SEND them the I-134 package. So, pay close attention to the instructions they give you. Do not lie and tell them you have something you don't have. They don't like that at all.

The bottom line is, there will be no visa without an affidavit of support and supporting documents from the petitioner AND (if the petitioner is not qualified) a qualified sponsor.

Then you are not ready to support a foreign immigrant and need to cancel those plans until you are able. The income requirement are actually very minimal and if you don't have that income then you need to upgrade your own life before you tackle being responsible for another, if only makes sense. It may not seem fair but it really is considering the hardship you both would incur if you tried now.

The 2010 levels were 18,213 for a family of 2 people. More if there are children involved.
