Affidavit of Support

[Greg&Tanya 0]

Hi all,

So originally I had been planning on using my parents as co-sponsors. Combined, they make enough & also own an apartment. However, they are currently filing for divorce & I will probably need to use my mom as a co-sponsor. Given that she makes about 40k working 2 jobs, and wont have assets to show. Would this be a problem? I am a grad student & currently have no income, although I'm graduating in December. With me and my fiance it will be a total of 3 people in a household. I can also ask my brother to be a second co-sponsor if needed. But can someone advise me if a single mom, no assets, 2 jobs will be of question at the interview?

Any feedback will be appreciated, Thank you!

So long as she makes the minimum income requirements, and can prove that through tax returns, pay slips and letters from her employer, they won't care about any of that stuff. No worries!

Shouldn't be a problem at all.

If anything, working two steady jobs to provide is your biggest asset, since current sustained income is what's most relevant. Assets should only be used to supplement low (or no) income. If the income is there, don't sweat it.

Thank you so much for your replies! I feel somewhat relieved now!

Does your mom claim you a dependent on her taxes? If no, then you aren't a part of her household count. She would need enough income to cover a household size of her, any dependent children, and the intending immigrant.

Anh, I am currently listed as the only dependent. So with my fiance, it would be total household size of 3.

Hi. I guess this is somewhat off-topic, but it is somehow related to the question.

My fiance earns around 30K annually, and pays for his parents house which is in his name. Is that enough? I mean, is that enough to support me or should we still get a co-sponsor as well?

Thanks for the help.

In the future, please don't hijack a thread, make your own so we don't have two different issues in the one topic.

To answer your question, since you're here, it will depend on what his household size is. If he claims no dependents on his taxes, it will just be 2 (himself and you), and yes $30k is well over the minimum for 2 people.

The fact he pays for his parent's home is a non-issue, so long as he doesn't claim his parents as dependents on his taxes. And he doesn't have any children.

Okay. Sorry about that and thanks for your reply!
