Yes you can, Co-sponsors are allowed for spousal visas in Phils, it is just for K1 fiance visas they are not usually allowed.

Are you a US citizen or a Green Card Holder?

Waiting times vary depending on your status.

Yes, you can get a joint sponsor if your income from your seasonal work is below the income poverty requirement.

Hello everyone. I have a question. I am 19 years old now. I just started working last year (sept) as a seasonal worker. So that means I dont have stable job right now, i haven't tried filing income taxes yet. My boyfriend and I are planing to get married in the Philippines this dec. Then after we get married I am gonna file my petition for him as soon as we get the marriage cer. I am a us citizen already. My question is, is the uscis gonna allow me to petition him even though i dont have a stable job? I'm gonna file my itr this year but its not enough because its just seasonal work. BUT I talked to my stepdad already who used to be my petitioner to be my co-sponsor. Do you think that will work? Thanku everyone..

You'll need a cosponsor that reaches the minimal financial requirements in the AOS stage of the process, but that's with NVC, not USCIS. I don't have a stable job either, and so far no problems. Don't think it's a big deal as long as you have a solid cosponsor.

My co-sponsor is a retired navy and right now he is working with 25/hr job. So I think he can reach the minimal financial requirements. Really? Did you file your petition already? How was it? Thanks for the reply

The USCIS doesn't care about your stable job and income on your petition.

However, when you get to NVC, you'll need a another sponsor.

Ok thanks for the reply. My step-father is gonna be my co-sponsor.

Then as long as his income qualifies, you're good.
