The form I am thinking of is the Affidavit of Support form. I was going over all the BS involved in the process and was explaining to a friend that he needs to show he can support his woman and that she won't be using things like food stamps when she gets here. He makes good money now but a couple years ago he made hardly anything while going to grad school. Now I thought they look back 3 years and now that makes us both nervous. But I think it is not that big of a deal... and to be extra safe he can probably just use a parent as a secondary sponsor? Does that sound right? I mean basically all we are saying is that if this chica starts using things like food stamps the sponsor has to pay for that stuff until she leaves, is a citizen, or has been here for something like 5 or 10 years. Am I on track??
I can't imagine they'd hold grad school against him a couple years back, but I figure just be safe and put his dad on the form. I am encouraging him to know all this stuff before his chica arrives to visit on a b2.
