Q: I am a US citizen you receives government assistance can an immediate family member file for an affidavit of support?
I tried filling for my spouse before but he was denied because he had a record at 21 yrs old of possession of marijuana. The embassy denied him and told him that he have to wait 7 to 10 years before he can file again so the time has passed and I want to file again. I'm currently receiving government assistance and not working and we have 2 children together. Can my sister file an affidavit of support for him on my behalf in order for him to receive green card to come to America to work. Thank you so much in advance for your advice
A: You should file an I864 and ,provided she can document that she herself is solvent, your sister can file a supplemental affidavit to yours.Good luck to all of you.
