I'm posting for my friend they already sent their AOS to the NVC and since his wife has low income they did it with a joint sponsor. After their aos were evaluated and were returned to them by NVC they found out there are some required documents that were need to be send again. But here what happens, after they received their papers from the NVC their joint sponsor was suddenly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and it already spreads his liver too! In short, he might be dying anytime cause the doctor said it is really worst. Now the dilemma is this, can they still change their joint sponsor? He can't do the sponsorship anymore cause he's really sick and can't take care of the papers. He will undergo a chemo-therapy too. Can he be replace though his name and other documents were already at NVC? Please let's help them. We need your wisdom and guidance bout this matter. Thanks guys!

No harm in having a back up, if the paper work submitted so far for the joint Sponsor is OK then there is probably no need. Life expectancy is not a factor.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

In that case he needs a new co sponsor,

If the joint sponsor your friend had lined up is no longer able to sign the paperwork, then your friend will need to find another one.

Ok thanks. Do they need to call the nvc and tell them that they are changing a joint sponsor? Or they could just send another aos with the new joint sponsor who already filled up the forms?thanks

IMO, I think it would be a good idea to call the NVC to inform them that there will be a new joint sponsor and provide brief explanation if asked why. In addition, when the new paperwork is submitted, a brief explanation should be in a cover letter explaining the change.
