Affidavit of Support Income Question

[bluebellperriwink 0]

We're trying to find a joint sponsor for our interview and my husband's Mom has volunteered. The only problem is, she is unemployed but receives alimony payments every month. The payments would add up to 125% or the poverty guidelines for 3 people and she has past years taxes to prove that. She also has a significant amount in her savings. I know alimony is income but not counted as earned income so I'm not sure if she's able to be the sponsor.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

How long will the alimony go on for?

She's been receiving it for a few years and it goes on until she gets remarried which will probably not be anytime soon.

I think that should be ok.

I would call NVC to check. The wait is maybe 30 mins but they are very nice. Def worth the time.

From what I read on the instructions this might fall under similarly as trusts where you would need to show proof of how long this income will keep coming in as it has to "technically" be 5 yrs or more until the beneficiary becomes a citizen.
