Our Story
I'm 29 years old pinay married to a 23 year old american. We both work hard for our marriage despite the judgements and the imperfect life. We have a beautiful daughter, she is our lifeline to sanity.
The email copy described our situation now. This is the email I wrote to a childhood friend/neighbor here in cebu who now lives in Texas. With my situation and if I still can't find a co sponsor, my husband has the idea of moving from texas to hawaii because he noticed in hawaii there is low unemployment rate and he can ride bike to two jobs (if ever he can get one) that are just closed to each other.
I'm also wondering if I can convert the 1 130 application to k3 spousal visa? I've read somewhere that in k3 we can get a co sponsor and that the affidavit of support thing isn't legally binding? This is from this link.
http://apexvisa.us/affidavits.html
The I-134 Affidavit of Support is a Paper Tiger without legal support, and is "requested" at the time of the K1 visa, or K3 visa interviews. This is basically a "Fishing" document to see if the sponsoring petitioner has the ability to supply an I-864 Affidavit of Support for adjustment or change of status after the K visa beneficiary arrives in the U.S.
The form instructions cite their legal authority as "(8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(15),1184(a) and 1258)." This is NOT a valid legal authority as it is NOT promulgated as a Code of Federal Regulations.
While most U.S. Consulates request this affidavit, it is not required by law. However, at the U.S. Dept. of State admits, they "may" request. The point here is that whomever signs one, is NOT on any legal hook. A co-sponsor is usually accepted in addition to a petitioner's affidavit, if the petitioner cannot meet the poverty guideline level. Without the regulations, there can be no penalty - so says the U.S. Supreme Court. So, co-sponsors can rest.....
maybe if I will show that to a friend or relative then they might say yes to co sponsor? for their peace of mind. I am so aware this is a desperate approach. I can only ask for help or advise.
how are you Ferm? I'm sorry I don't mean to bother you but finally I mustered enough courage to tell you my appeal. I've been wanting to email you since May about this. My husband has filed petition and we already paid for everything and complied requirement except for the affidavit of support. My husband only earned 12k usd a month. He needs to earn 24k yearly to be able to bring me to the states. All this time my mother in law is very interested to co sponsor but we found out that she needs to be working but she has just retired last year. And also because of her skin cancer. And her asset hasn't met the income requirement.
We're actually needing or looking if you can actually be my co sponsor? I know my question is not easy I just want to try to know if you can. Rest assured, you won't have to pay for anythign other than sign the papers that you will co sponsor. Basically the Us government just want to be assured that I won't be asking for the government for any foods if I go out of job or food while living in the US. Honestly I can't see myself being useless and will go out of food in the US if I get there. My husband has been looking for a second job almost a year already, he doesn't have a car and rides his bike to work. he is currently working 8 hours and is taking advantage of his scholarship in college. He is taking two subjects in college. He goes to college for free since he is adopted. I don't mean to broadcast my husband's life but he is actually an abandoned child. He has never seen his real parents and was in foster at the age of 3 and adopted at the age of 5. Accordign to what his adopted mother told him, his bio mom had to give him up because his alcoholic father made him a punching bag. It actually affected him in some way but he is helping himself and trying to be productive. My mother in law was a kind person to raise him with all her best along with other 4 adopted kids in her home.
Ferm and Roy, I want to humbly appeal if you actually can do it. I have a link to share so you can know more about co sponsorship and that there is no need to worry. I would never hassle anyone if I go out of food in the US and modesty aside, it is actually unbecoming for me to just ask people for food, I can't see myself in that situation especially I want to keep a job. I don't mean to be prideful when I say that. My daughter doesn't need a co sponsor since she is automatically an american. And if ever I will be hospitalized or I'll get sick or have an accident, It would go against my credit score and the hospital would go after me and husband but certainly not the co sponsor. Because the co sponsor is a different story. They are not responsible for any debts I would incurr in any shape or form. . Talking to an attorney would explain everything and you can be assured there is no risk technically. The links explain it all.
I admit I've been lonely about this and me and baby jenny can get there if someone can actually sign the co sponsor. I believe that this is the start of a new beginning for someone like me and my husband as well. We ambitioned to be able to have a stable job and be able to save a little and retire in the philippines after 15 years or 20 if we're still alive and hopefully create our own foundation to helping less privileged and abused kids. I know my approach sound desperate I just want to try since I have no intention but to have an intact family with hopeful approach to life.We would also pay for the hassle if just if u decide to sign. Take care and I'm sorry for the bother Ferm
