Affidavit of Support, When Income May Be an Issue


Are you concerned that you do not make enough to petition for your spouse who lives in another country? Are you worried about supporting them when they come to the US and how the government will view that?

One of the things that we hear quite frequently from our clients is that they are either unemployed or they can’t really prove their assets or prove their income and they question how the government will look at that.

The affidavit of support is one of the most nuanced areas of immigration law and it is also the one where we see some of the most difficulties that come up. We navigate these issues all the time so do not fret about it. If you are worried that that might be you and that you may need to take some other avenues or some other steps to be able to prove that to the government, we will help you walk through that during all steps of our process.

You can click on the Resources tab on our website and we have lots of information about the affidavit of support and how we go about making sure that you can prove to the government that you would be able to support that immigrant spouse or fiance.

There are several options for you. We could enlist a joint sponsor or we could wait to even file any of your financial documents that really do not have to be an upfront filing for many of our petitions. If there are any concerns at all or if you are just wanting to speak with one of our attorneys, you can schedule a consultation and really get to the root of what the issue is and be able to successfully navigate through the help of our experienced team.
