QUESTION
Will my spouse's and stepdaughter's visa be denied due to my unemployment?
Asked on Jul 12th, 2014 on Immigration - Michigan
More details to this question:
Hi, I had filed I-130 petitions for both my step-daughter and my husband and they were both approved. Due to untreated post-partum depression (I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter from a previous relationship), I was not able to work. After getting together with my husband, my life has taken a new turn. I have been back to school, and I am searching for employment badly with no luck so far. I have a joint sponsor that makes well over the 125% requirement. Will my visas petition be denied because I, the petitioner have no history of employment? I am 24 years old and I have been living in the US for the past five years. I have also recently become a USC.

As long as you have a joint sponsor, it should be fine, provided you still complete the affidavit of support as the petitioner and primary sponsor and the joint sponsor's income and/or assets are sufficient.

Your relative's immigrant visa application should be processed if you have a form I-864 co-sponsor.

As long as you have a joint sponsor who meets the financial requirements, you should be fine.

Yes, if you present I 864 with insufficient income. You may also find a joint sponsor though.

No, if you have a good joint-sponsor.
