us citizen Bringing my husband and family to USA

[AEdward 0]

Help/advice needed! 

Hello, I'm an American living in the U.K. With my dual citizenship children and soon to be husband, who is English, we desperately want to move home and start a life back home with my family in PA. 

ive been told he will need a sponsor to do this, what can I do as I live in the U.K. now? Who can be a sponsor for him?

Hopefully you're doing DCF in London, much faster process. 

 

You're his primary sponsor and nothing is ever going to change that. 

Any USC or LPR with job or assets in the US can be a sponsor. Please read USCIS.gov/I-864

 

If you absolutely can not find anyone to co-sponsor then you'll have to move to the US ahead of time and get a job. 

 

I'm also moving this topic to DCF forum as you qualify and hopefully will be using that in London.

Anyone in United States that have the necessary "minimum" income can be the sponsor, you mom, dad, best friend, neighbor...anyone willing to fill the I-864.

Good luck!

Ok great, thank you, yes I've been thinking my brother could be a possibility as he's in US and has a permanent residence and a good job, just want sure who could co sponsor, thanks.

If you want your brother, he has to be  US citizen or permanent resident. You also need to figure out how much he makes and whether his household size (+2 because you and your partner would be his dependents since you don't have a job to claim yourself) is enough to be above 125% of the poverty line.

 

Also, make sure your brother has his taxes in order because they will be requested. It is not an audit, they just need to see his tax returns. Some people have had problems with cosponsors because they hadn't filled taxes or some other tax problem.

Incorrect, it would only be +1.  Not two.  The USC isn't factored into it.

I thought the US citizen was not factored into it only if they could claim themselves through their job. So the US citizen is never factored in it?

Nope.  They aren't
