heyjimi Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 There was a poll on here,about how much one makes,"well above the poverty line?",someone commented,it has been noticed,the more income,the less they scrutinize.My wife,took our petition to a lawyer,to look at,and he suggested,to get a co sponser,will better our chances of an approval.at first i thought, i am well above the poverty line,i make 28,000,plus with bonuses i will be over 30,ooo a year,and i just have me and my wife.But after reading the poll,and reading the comment,i thought,is two better than one? Myself and a co sponsor? Link to comment
dnoblett Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Having a joint sponsor wont help in situations where they are questioning if a marriage is a bona fide one. Joint sponsor is only useful if the consulate questions the petitioner's ability to support the immigrant and they need proof that the immigrant will not become a charge of the state. Link to comment
Randy W Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) Yes - I'm not sure that a joint sponsor adds to your income level in that way, although if it were a family member, it would show support from them. Edited November 7, 2008 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment

Dennis143 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 There are large sums being offered to single men to marry and bring women over. These are often doled out in incremental payments or milestones. I think those with higher annual incomes might be less likely to be viewed as potential candidates for receiving an immigration fee. I doubt that having a cosponsor would do much good, after the fact. But, wouldn't hurt to try. Link to comment

Hello Jimi, I'm really sorry to hear of your recent news. I know you've got to be battling a lot of demons and issues right now. As for your question about income and sponsors, there is no need to get a sponsor as long as you meet the minimum income requirement as determined by USCIS. Anything above that level is considered okay. I don't recall ever seeing anyone denied for making above that mark. In fact, it wouldn't be legal do deny someone for that. Link to comment

You never know the true reason. We've never seen anyone who was sufficiently rich, and got denied. "Not a valid relationship" can cover a lot of bases. Link to comment

We surely don't know the talk that goes on in the back rooms about people and their relationships. You're right, a denial is a denial, but a denial must have a valid reason. In this case, it appears that they used the ole, lack of a bona fide relationship thing. In Jimi's case, this is just not accurate, as they've been together for a long, long time. As long as his income, or anyone else's for that matter, meets the minimum requirement, then they cannot be denied on that basis. I just don't believe there is some sort of conspiracy going on in that a VO will deny someone that makes enough money as determined by the USCIS. Link to comment

The I-134 is simply a piece of paper submitted with the application, a small part of the whole picture that the VO sees. A denial is a a denial - no conspiracy is required. Again, "Not a valid relationship" covers a lot of bases. Jimi has not had his interview yet. Link to comment

Randy, I'm not a lawyer, but I'm curious as to exactly what bases a non-valid relationship covers? Surely there is some sort of criteria? If not, seems like the legal system would be having a field day.... Jimi has not had his interview yet. Maybe I got a little confused here after seeing this: http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?...st&p=446503 Link to comment

The phrase "Not a Valid Relationship" simply leaves the entire acceptance or denial of a visa in the hands of the VO. There IS no legal system for the Guangzhou consulate. You have no recourse, except through the good-will of consular officials. Link to comment
