The short answer is the back due support won’t affect your ability to sponsor your fiancé for her visa. However you must also act as her financial sponsor and your child will be considered your dependent when calculating the requisite income threshold to meet the minimum level to act as her financial sponsor. Accordingly you may need a co sponsor to assist with meeting that minimum income requirement. Discuss with counsel about your case. Counsel anywhere in the USA can represent you.
