Joint Sponsor

[kingpups 3]

Hi,

  I will be having my brother sponsor my fiance in our k1 visa case. I am looking for something that will explain what that entails, what he is responsible for, and what would happen if something financial came up for my fiance. Does anybody know of a site or article that explains this clearly. I have the i-134 form and instructions, as well as the i-864. But just looking for something a little more in detail.

Thank you

He is responsible to repay the government for any benefits she might receive as a public charge potentially for the rest of her life or until she accrues 40 quarters of Social Security,  becomes a citizen, abandons residency or dies.  This applies even if you are no longer married to her. For the K1 he supplies an I-134 and at the AOS he supplies the I-864 as well as I-864As from any other household members.

Note that I-134 is considered unenforceable.

 

I-864 is submitted later after marriage when applying for the Green Card. After Green Card is issued, I-864 remains in force until one of certain events occurs: the LPR becomes a U.S. citizen; the LPR has worked, or can receive credit for, 40 quarters of coverage under the Social Security Act; the immigrant no longer has lawful permanent resident status and has departed the United States; the LPR is subject to removal, but applies for and obtains, in remove proceedings, a new grant of adjustment of status, based on a new affidavit of support, if one is required; or the LPR dies.

 Go to Form I-864 and start reading on page 6-8 everything the sponsor is agreeing to.

Since this thread was started, the OP has married, so K-1 no longer applies.
