Can different joint sponsors submit Affidavits of Support for separate family members, listed on the same petition?
Yes, under certain circumstances. Each joint sponsor must meet the minimum income requirement citizenship, residence and age requirements. If a petitioner or sponsor meets the minimum income requirements, a Form I-864 cannot be submitted for joint sponsorship, unless the consular officer or the DHS immigration officer specifically requires it. Two joint sponsors can be used per family unit intending to immigrate based upon the same petition. If two joint sponsors are used, each joint sponsor is responsible only for the intending immigrant(s) listed on the joint sponsor’s Form I-864.
