Will I be able to have a co-sponsor help support my soon to be husband's visa?

The law allows joint sponsors to assist with financial sponsorship in green card situations in which the petitioner is unable to shoulder the financial burden by himself or herself. Joint sponsors should be a US citizen or permanent residents with the wherewithal and willingness to shoulder the financial burden in the event that the immigrant is unable to make a living for himself or herself in the States. For a nonimmigrant visa, a friend or relative can also financially sponsor, but your boyfriend may find it difficult to obtain a visa to study and at the same time work if he is thinking of a F-1 visa since that generally does not come with work privileges. In addition, he would have to satisfy the US consular officer that he has nonimmigrant intent and does not intend to immigrate to the US. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee & Arthur Lee, Esqs.’ (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.
