QUESTION
Would it still be possible for her to petition our family under her name if she only has a green card?
Asked on Aug 07th, 2014 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
My dad's brother (my uncle) has petitioned to sponsor my family to the United States. We should be able to go the following year, however due to some circumstances he needs to sign over our sponsorship to my aunt who also lives in the states. My uncle is a US citizen, while my aunt only has her green card. She also has a son living in the states who is a US citizen. Could he co-sign with her if immigration does not allow a green card holder to sponsor relatives?

If you are asking if your Aunt can be a financial co-sponsor, then yes that may be possible. If you want her to be the petitioner on an I-130, then no that is not possible. Also, these petitions can take tens years or more to complete.

If your question is whether your aunt and/or her son can be a joint sponsor for your family, the answer is yes as long as their income is sufficient and they both submit i-864a forms.
