Affidavit Co-sponsor

[israsaif 1]

Hello

Has anyone had any problems with the co-sponsor NOT being a family member?

OR has anybody been able to get the visa when the co-sponsor was not a family member?

I did. It was three weeks ago. Same embassy as you. It was a long-time friend of my family and the consulate said

it was not acceptable even though she made well over the required income.

But with the vagaries of the DZ embassy, precendent means absolutely nothing whether they will accept or refuse this in your case. One person can be told one thing and the next can be told something entirely different.

Well, the refusal sheet given to my fiance said further consideration will be given to our petition if I can show proof of a full-time job with sufficient income.

But like I said, we're all told something different. I think I recall reading that you were told you had to have a year at your job to be considered, yet they didn't tell us that. So therefore, just because they wouldn't accept a non-family member co-sponsor in my case doesn't mean that they won't accept one in yours. I'd suggest you email the embassy and just ask them if they will accept a non-family member co-sponsor but I know they take forever to answer. Still, at least you'd know.

I'd be curious to hear the answer

Best of luck!
