Joint sponsor (disadvantage or not)?

[jakelong159]

Hello everyone,

Is it a disadvantage to my case if my US citizen spouse doesn't have enough income to sponsor me? She work as a nail technician trainee but the minimum wage is pretty low so the amount of income she earned last year was around 18-19k.

I'd appreciated if you can answer my question. Thanks

You have to get another joint sponsor and make sure his/her income is enough to sponsor you. I don?t know this year but last year is $20300 if he/ she is single. Your wife?s income is not enough.

Not a disadvantage at all, in fact it's a requirement to have a joint sponsor if your primary sponsor does not meet the income requirements

Not a disadvantage at all! My husbands mom was our sponsor.

I feel like this is what IO liked because while reviewing the documents he said: "Husband didn't make enough, but his mom did, that's nice."
