Thank you for the response. I am sorry my post was more emotional and difficult to understand. I do not know my dads wife. She doesn't speak English and I have never met her. I do not know her intentions. I just know this is his third wife and his second wife was from Vietnam as well. They had conversations about bringing her over the same as this third wife. My concern on that side is that he gave her access to any money that he had and they started a business in Vietnam together. He does not share now but says she "did him wrong and wrote him out of the business" and now they are divorced. The point I guess is, I don't trust his current wife has the best of intentions since he thought his second wife was the best before the blindside. She might try to collect assistance sometime in her life. I don't know.

Lastly, my husband currently has the business on our taxes. All of the children do and they are listed as employees for the business. I know the Vietnamese assistance immigration office said that if we filed separately and I could Meet the requirements by myself than I would able to sponsor. Every time I try this route they ask for My husbands information and to sign this form.

Sorry I accidentally sent it...

His wife will come over and work in the restaurant. But I don't have to ability to sponsor him.... What do I do???

I feel so guilty. I live in a one thousand square foot house and have a car and my dad lives in 650 square feet and has no car and is below poverty. I know I attended school and worked hard but he works 9am-11pm five days a week... I just feel helpless here.

Hi.

Thank you so much for the helpful reads. I am in a difficult place as my father,who is 57, has asked me to to co sponsor his wife. She is from Vietnam and they have know each other for 20 years. I agreed to help if I could and started submitting my forms a few years ago. Since that time I have gotten married. My husband and I joint file our taxes. I have recently had to explain in detail,because they required our new joint filed taxes, what co sponsorship means to him. The point of all of this is here: he is one of 6 children. He shared with me that his father has put their family business with equal ownership in the names of all of his children. The family business has grown to 35M. He can not sign this form and I can not sign the form while married to him because technically he has the business as an asset. He has to list the business on his taxes as well. I just don't know what to do. I am the only child from my father who can sponsor him and I don't see how I can. My husband, obviously doesn't like the idea because it puts his siblings at jeopardy as well if a suit happened. However I feel guilty because I am fortunate enough to have been provided these opportunities by my father. Even though I make just about 30k, my dad makes just enough to be below poverty level with no opportunity for additional job. We own a family chinese restaurant business for 35 years that is not making money.
