rahul412 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hello, Can a H1B holder/Non-Immigrant be a joint sponsor on I-864 along with the principle petitioner for an intending immigrant ? Thanks H1 holder cannot sponsor any kind of US immigration visa. H1 holder is a guest worker, means he will be leaving US at one time. Link to comment
arreosamba Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 The above answer is incorrect. H1B holder (beneficiary) can use his/her income to supplement wife/husband's income to meet minimum poverty guidelines. Clearly highlighted in the I-864 instructions Link to comment
arreosamba Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 so in short, Yes .. H1B holder can use his/her income on I-864. Will need proof that the h1b holder will continue to receive this income even after the Green Card is approved though Link to comment
JoeF Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 The above answer is incorrect. H1B holder (beneficiary) can use his/her income to supplement wife/husband's income to meet minimum poverty guidelines. Clearly highlighted in the I-864 instructions For a spouse, yes. But the OP didn't specify what it was for, so the general answer is no, except in very specific circumstances. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 In short this is not possible. The sponsor needs to be a PR or a Citizen. Link to comment
arreosamba Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 For a spouse, yes. But the OP didn't specify what it was for, so the general answer is no, except in very specific circumstances. Yupp. I could have been more specific. Marriage based GC (US Citizen), H1B holder would be able to use his/her income to supplement sponsor's income to meet minimum income limits Link to comment
jigargaglani Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thank you for your replies. My question was not related for my spouse. My aunt had done a family based GC for my parents. So being a petitioner she is the main sponsor but along with that can I being on H1B visa be a joint sponsor with my aunt ? Link to comment
