My sponsor wants to sponsoring and another person?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I assume that you are talking about an I-864 affidavit of support. Under the poverty guidelines for 2015, a couple without children or other dependents and who has sponsored no others in the past, is able to support 8 people under the 125% guideline used in immigration cases. So if she and her husband are 2, and you and another person are another 2, that would only be 4 people – a number able to be supported with the income of $54,000.

H-1B Visa fraud

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Probably the best suggestion is to initially contact local agencies such as the Better Business Bureau or Consumer Affairs to see whether they can be effective in having your money refunded. There may also be other resources available, such as the immigrant affairs unit of the New York County District Attorney’s Office which attempts to resolve situations for victims of immigration fraud.  Failing that, you could go to local law enforcement and file a complaint against the consultant for fraud if the facts are as you state. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not c.

Green-card Holder Filing I-130 and I-485

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If you are sponsoring your wife under your green card status, the priority date of the I-130 petition must be current for visa availability and she must be in valid nonimmigrant status to be eligible for the I-485 to be filed. If not, she can either return or wait for you to become a U. S. citizen. Upon your citizenship, her category would change to immediate relative, a preference which is always available, and her overstay would not prevent her from filing an acceptable I-485 application.
