The petitioner in a marriage case must supply an I-864 binding affidavit of support. That being said, a petitioner who is unable to supply financial assurance is allowed to have a joint sponsor – someone who is willing to take up the financial burden as long as the offer of financial support is credible. Such an individual would normally fill out another I-864 form and supply all of the evidence including job letter, bank letter, pay stubs, tax returns, etc. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
