Affidavit

[israsaif 1]

Hi everyone, My father is going to sign the affidavit of support form but i'm a little worried because he has already sponsored his friends son before. Does anyone what the chances are of the Consulate still accepting it and what the limit on sponsoring is?

Also, has anyone been successful in getting their visa even with the co sponsor was a friends and not a relative and should I try that?

Thanks

There is no limit to how many people he can sponsor as long as he has enough income for both the new and old immigrant and the rest of his household. You can use a friend but if your dad makes enough, they tend to prefer close relatives as it shows they really trust the relationship.

If your father has sufficient income/assets to cover his household plus the previous sponsoree plus your fiance, then I strongly recommend you go with him as your co-sponsor.

I had a close friend of my family as my co-sponsor and DZ would not accept it. This was just a couple weeks ago and I'm still reeling from the disappointment.

From my experience, I'd advise you to not have your friend be a co-sponsor.
