She's got relatives there but not very close. We'll find a sponsor.

 

If not, I've heard that if you have enough amount of money in you bank account, you don't have to find a sponsor ( I might be wrong ).

 

Yes, for a household of 2 it would have to be a bit over 60,000. But it has to be in a US bank account so she still needs to go there and open one.

(1) Her age does not matter in terms of getting a spousal visa. College in the US is very expensive so it is better if she graduates. Without college there are no job opportunities in the US, unless she wants to clean toilettes and work at McDonalds. If she has the opportunity to finish studying, that is better. 

 

(2) Yes, sixty thousand dollars.

yes I know it's very early, but I need to know what I gotta do from now ! we don't want to waste time. Also, things can take time " the processing for example takes 1-1.5 year "

Saudi does accept co sponsors. They are actually one of the more lenient of the embassies that I've noticed. I had some issues and I called them and they actually put me on the phone with the same CO that interviewed my husband. The only issues I had with the embassy was that our case got lost. The CO even admitted that to me. He was very very apologetic though, and scheduled my husbands interview for the very next day. Sorry to get off the subject, just giving you an idea of how the embassy is.

Guys I just have a question if the processing got denied because of missing papers or details or whatever such reason, do we need to restart the whole processing again ? or I just complete mt application by bringing the missing stuff ?

If you are with the RFE Period submit the missing info.

By law, when an immigrant visa is being sought (such as a spousal visa) a joint sponsor (the proper term when referring to an I-864) is allowed if the petitioner's income and/or assets is insufficient to qualify on their own.  All Embassies and Consulates follow the law in this regard.

There are some countries that do not accept a co sponsor
