(AOS package) Joint sponsor fired from work recently

[kevin_samuel 0]

Hi all,

I am now in preparing AOS package I have a joint aponsor and he already filled I-864 form and i have his 2013 tax return papers. But recently he got fired from work!!! And I haven't sent the package yet. Shall I wait for him till he finds a new job? Or find a new sponsor? Or send the package as long as I have his 2013 tax papers??

Since the source of current income on your joint sponsor's I-864 is no longer there and if he does not have sufficient assets, then you will need to wait until he lands another job for find someone else who is willing to act as a joint sponsor.

How will NVC know if he has sufficient assets or not. They don't require us to send bank statement along with AOS. And will they know that my sponsor's work is discontinued? I am sure he will find a new job but it might take a while it depends and I am in a hurry.

You are presenting this as proof of his income. It is never a good idea to lie to immigration. They find out they can be very effective bouncers. Find another sponsor.

The I-864 instructions spell out how to use assets to qualify, the NVC as well as the Embassy or Consulate know if it's sufficient or not because assets are clearly documented.

All forms and documentations submitted are subject to verification at any time. Your joint sponsor's source of current income has discontinued, knowingly submitting an I-864 that does not reflect this fact is to knowingly submit false information and this is Material Misrepresentation. Penalties for Material Misrepresentation are severe.

My previous post tells you what your choices are.

Thanks alot for your replies...can a beneficiary sponsor himself by providing bank statement and vehicle ownership even if we are both o overseas?? And how much asses is the minimum. Petitioner has 0 income. It was all unexpected... And very bad timing

(125% x poverty income (around 27k) - sponsor's income) x 5

This will five me the asset value i should own... What if sponsor's income is zero.. Then equation will be (125% x 27k - 0) x 5 is almost 150$ is this right?
