Help with Co-Sponsor

[Az1988 0]

Hey everyone,

Okay.. My fiancée in the US is the petionor for us, but she makes very little working min wage, not full-time either, so we need a Co-Sponsor. There will be 3 of us so £23k But how do you work out the Co-Sponsors is it added as full household, like if it were a man/wife been co, would it make it 3=2=5? So 33k? I am trying to understand how much the co needs to earn, there is my Fiancée, her child and myself. Thank you, it's all so very confusing!!

Yes. If you use a co-sponsor they need to make enough to support their own household, and your +3, per US poverty guidelines.

So does that mean based on household together? Like co sponsor has man wife and son, then me, My fiancee and her son makes a 6 man household? Is that how you work it out right? So if single person they'll need to earn for a house of 4..?

the co sponsor and his/her spouse and the 3 of you = 5

its going to be like that.which is 33k as you count it

Thank you both, yeah I figured that's how it was worked out, just need to make for sure. =]

No.

Youre listing many examples with many different scenarios of different people involved. Th co-sponsor is only responsible for their household plus the immigrant only.

So if Im understanding this correctly and counting everyone-

your fiances affidavit of support would cover her, you and her child. (3)

You co-sponsors affidavit would cover the members of their household. Husband, wife, their child (if they had one) and immigrant. (4 if they have a child 3 if they do not 2 if they are a single person)

[Az1988 0]

So they only have to cover themselves and me?? Please can someone else confirm? It makes a huge imnportance in our application, it's fine lines with money is all. So they only have to pay for me and themselves, and my fiancées covers the 3 of us? So a single person would only need to earn 19k? this changes the situation greatly if so..

The co sponsor don't have to count your fiancee and her son. The only one who is moving and need a sponsor is you!

You guys count as three and you then add in the Cosponsor's household size to that.

This is very good news, it means I have miscalculated and a co-sponsor maybe alot easier than first seemed. An it doesn't matter at all about her wages because the co will cover? So if this is correct the only problem I have left is the medical.. Thank you all greatly.

[Cathi 5,795]

for the co sponsor you include the co-sponsor him/herself plus any people living in their household, plus the person you are petitioning(the beneficiary) for. For example. If your co sponsor is married and has one child. you count

1. the co sponsor

2. the co sponsor's wife

3. the co sponsor's child

4. the person you are petitioning for(the beneficiary)

equaling 4 people

See different people have different idea's, I don't wanna get there and it be a different outcome, some thing add all together, some think just for me, so it's confusing..
