Marriage

You still need to file an I-864 and sponsor your fiance, if it comes to that. If you do not meet the guidelines, then you can get someone to file a joint I-864 (maybe called 864A?). The person who files the joint sponsorship, must be able to meet the $ guidlines on their own (you and the joint person cannot combine incomes to meet the guidelines). Since the sister is not the spouse/fiance, unless things have changed, she would need to meet the 125%, and not get to use the 100% numbers. If his sister is married, or has children, or claims other people on her taxes, or lives with other people, she will need to count them, too, on the chart for the size of her family. Even if your joint sponsor meets the criteria, approval is not automatic, if you have been in the U.s. and have no tax data for recent years. If you have used any assistance in the last 3 years, other than unemployment, and are not working with a notarized employer letter as to your salary and the "permanence" of your position, the use of assistance will count against you. There are many factors to be considered though. Not everything might seem intuitive. I know a guy who was abroad for 1.5 years, got married, filed the spouse visa, and was placed on hold even though while he was not then employed and had never used any public assistance and had nearly $88k in mutual funds, he had no recent tax data and no permanent residence - he was living with his elderly mother. It took nearly 6 months more (a total of 23 months from filing the visa case to getting the visa stamp) to finally get the spouse visa. It will probably not matter if a lawyer gets the signature on this voluntary paper voided. He will probably be deported, one way or another, and the marriage or possibility of that will not change that.

While the financial papers submitted for the fiance and spouse visa differ in length, the basic employment and residence proof still exist. Howeever, it is easier to get a fiance visa than a spouse visa, because the fiance visa is really a special category of non-immigrant visa. I believe it is after one year there on the fiance visa that you/spouse must then pass the same $$$ test(s) people must pass for the normal spouse visa. For you, assuming you get by the deportation thing, the fiance visa will cost less initially, be easier to pass, and be faster (I have no seen numbers for the U.S. Embassy in Nicaragua but in Guateamala they claim 180 days or so for a fiance visa processing, and over 400 days for a spouse visa processing). Using the fiance visa also allows you and your fiance to both find work before the big later interview in the States. A relative is the only safe bet for a joint sponsor. Few questions would be asked if a parent or sibling did this, especially if the joint sponsor parent and the other fiance have met in person, or really know each other. If you have never paid taxes, and are not working at the time of the submission of your financial papers, they will surely ask about this, even if a parent does the joint sponsorship. They might also ask who paid for school, related things, and everything else. Since my guess is it will take over 2 years for you to straighten this out (assuming it is possible), a lot might depend on your life 2 years from now. For example, and you do not need to post an answer to such things, only think about them: will you have graduated by then? Will you have debt, like student loans or other things? Will you be living with your parents, or elsewhere? Will you have tax data by then, or a job with a salary over the 125% of your household size? Etc.

I do not need to be paying taxes or be a citizen to understand the various regulations, laws, and the requirements for the granting of U.S. CR1 visas. I have friends who, until recently, worked at the U.S. Embassies in Mexico and Guatemala. The most common reason why U.S. spouse visas are rejected or placed on hold is that the sponsor cannot meet the financial support requirements (the U.S. Congress has raised these more than once in recent years to make it difficult for people to enter the U.S. as immigrants and immediately use social services and other so-called welfare-like programs). This is why the U.S. government created the $65.00 pre-review financal assessment step (National Visa Center, in Portsmouth, NH) for all I-864 AOS documents used in the immigrant visa process; better to get put on hold after spending $65 for the review, than after spending nearly $400 for the final interview and not get the CR1 visa. These are all facts. Ask any U.S. citizen who has married a non-U.S. citizen, and then went to the U.S. as an immigrant. The process is time-consuming, with many steps, and you simply cannot do it if you or a family member hasn't the 3-year tax data and current income to show you (potential immigrant) will not likely become a public charge. Your comments per this question are irrelevant; you simply haven't anything factual or useful to offer, so why offer this other "stuff".

Her username is "Amanda" (female), and this person refers to her fiance as "he". Doesnt that make it heterosexual? Guess it doesnt matter, since you are at your best, once again, offering useless "advice" and pointless commentary.
