Affidavit of Support Questions

[Edu&Gaby 10]

Hello! We are about to apply for the NVC part of the CR1 process and we are not sure about one thing. My wife's income is over the poverty guideline for the couple, but since we will be in 5 people together on the same household we will get co-sponsors.

 

The question is: should we get apply with two co-sponsors since it would make the income be over 250% over the poverty guideline or should we do it with just one to be enough for household number?

Is there a problem to apply with more than one or a reason we should do just one co-sponsor?

 

Thank you!

If your wife has no children and does not claim any of the other people as dependents on her tax return, it doesn't matter how many other people live at the same address or whether they are related.  She qualifies as sponsor for HER "household" which is herself and her spouse.

 

Further, there are no co-sponsors in immigrant visa cases.  The term is joint sponsor.  I would encourage you both to become A-Students of the I-864 instructions.  Doing so, will be critical to your ultimate success.  Read carefully.  Interpret literally.  Answer both truthfully and accurately.

For IR1/CR1, you can have only one join-sponsor.

Added the "t" to make it "joint".  Correct but the OP was simply misusing the term cosponsor and applying it to mean "other people in the house".  When they understand the instructions, they'll understand what is needed.
