Q: Petitioning my husband but I dont work . Our sponsor died due to Covid . Do I need a new sponsor ? What do I need to do
I am petitioning for my husband . Our I130 got approved last year . We sent all the documents to NVC and have been waiting in line for an interview at the ciudad Juárez consulate . I do not work so my uncle who works and lives in Seattle was our sponsor . He filed out an I864 and submitted everything . But in December he past away due to Covid . Now I don’t know what to do . Do I need to notify somewhere ? Do I need a new sponsor ? Or should we not say anything and have my husband go to the interview ? Should we mention about his death at the interview or will they already know ? And if we need a new sponsor should I upload it online to NVC ? Or just take the documents of new sponsor to the interview ? Thank you for your time .
A: Yes you will need a new sponsor
A: You will need a new sponsor and you should upload the new I-864 to NVC along with proof of income so that NVC can screen the sponsor to make sure his income is sufficient. Your husband can explain the change of sponsors at the interview. Best wishes!
