I-864 Affidavit

[Carl Math 1]

Hello, 

I have a question about the I-864 form. 

I've been living and working in Brazil for the last 6 years. Before leaving for Brazil I spent more than a year unemployed in the US.

Will this affect my chances of my spouse's application getting approved? 

Will I, perhaps, need someone to sponsor her? 

 

I await your responses.

If you don't meet the minimum requirements for the I-864 financially, yes they will deny it. You will need a co-sponsor. You still will be the and always will be the primary sponsor, but you will have to have a co-sponsor who can fulfill the requirements.

Thank you for the information. 

 

And in the case I have trouble finding a co-sponsor,  what are my other options?

Income requirements can be offset by using assets, but it has to be 3-5 times the 125% poverty guideline. I say 3-5 times because not sure if it is 3 or 5 honestly. 

Easiest is get a co-sponsor. Any of your family can be as long as they meet the requirements. Can be any USC honestly.

That's a big relief. Just one more question - when I put on the form my future US address will I have to use the same address as the co-sponsor or it doesn't really matter?
