Are You Eligible To Be a Family-Based Visa Sponsor? | Immigration Lawyer Breaks Down the Basics

https://www.stanicklaw.com/ STANICK LAW Boutique Immigration, Business & Real Estate Law Firm 201 Montgomery Street Suite 263 Jersey City, NJ 07302 United States (201) 500-8164 There is a distinction between a petitioner, the individual who is eligible to sponsor a family member for immigration to the U.S., and a financial sponsor, the individual who accepts financial responsibility for the Beneficiary. The two terms often get confused. The petitioner is not required to be the financial sponsor, and a beneficiary may have more than one financial sponsor, often referred to as joint sponsorship. For example, say you are now a U.S. citizen filing to bring your sister to the U.S. but you don’t have the financial means to be the financial sponsor. Instead, your uncle, also a U.S. citizen, has a thriving U.S. business and has dreamed of helping you bring your sister to the U.S. You would be the petitioner. Your uncle would be the financial sponsor. All financial sponsors must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, be at least 18 years old and be living in the United States when they file Form I-864, the Affidavit of Support. If this form is not filed with the underlying petition or shortly thereafter for consular processing cases, the beneficiary will not be granted permission to immigrate based on that petition.
