Affidavit of Support Joint Sponsorship

A joint sponsor is a person who has agreed to accept the legal responsibility of financially supporting your family member along with you. He or she must be able to satisfy the same requirements as you, but they do not have to be related to the immigrant. The joint sponsor, along with his or her household needs to meet the 125% income requirement without the help of the petitioning sponsor. Co-sponsors are not permitted to combine their income to satisfy the requirement.

In the event the visa petitioner dies after USCIS has approved the visa petition and the agency allows the petition to proceed, a substitute sponsor will need to file a Form I-864 in the place of the decedent. To be eligible as a substitute sponsor, the intending immigrant must be a family member of yours. Additionally, you must:

• be a U.S. citizen, national or green card holder;
• be 18 years of age or older;
• live in the U.S.;
• fulfill the financial requirements of sponsorship.

General instruction by USCIS

As a sponsor, you should complete Form I-864 once an immigrant visa interview has been set up for your family member living abroad, or when your family member is ready to turn in their application to the USCIS for adjustment of status. Joint sponsor(s) must complete Form I-864, as well. If income from other members of your household is being used for qualification, each person will need to fill out an individual I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member.
