--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hello guys i have a question to ask you if any one can reply i will really appreciate it.

my uncle who is u.s citizen and retired. first he was widow then he married some one after long time and got divorce from 2nd wife and now he is willing to marry some one overseas and he is retired. my question was.

1) he will need a co-sponsor who can sponsor his wife from overseas. his younger brother is willing to sponsor her, but he previously sponsored some kids but that was nearly 18 yrs ago or something will that give any bad effects on his sponsorship for her (brother's wife) ?

2) will my uncle's pension be helpful for sponsorship? or will his brother needs to sponsor his wife?

3) and will they need proof of marriage like pictures, or videos for processing?

some one please reply give me your ideas please

1) As it was 18 years ago since his brother sponsored someone, then he will no longer be financially liable for them...therefore I cant see a problem with him being a co-sponsor on this petition.

2) Your uncle MUST be the primary sponsor for his wife, even if he doesnt meet the financial requirements. His brother can then be used to make up the difference should your uncles pension not be enough.

3) Of course they will need proof of marriage. It is your uncles onus to prove to USCIS that the marriage is bonafide and not entered into for immigration benefit. Therefore passport stamps/boarding passes proving that they have met, the marriage certificate (obviously), photos together, hotel receipts, restaurant receipts, phone bills etc.

thanks man appreciate it so much.

so you are saying uncle have to be primary sponsor for his wife meanings if he's getting pension if its enough or not enough his brother* can be used as a co-sponsor hmm i get it.

and as the proof what if the marriage was arranged? does that matter?

and yea i spoke to one of the lawyer he says its not easy as it seems bringing spouse to u.s. he said first uncle needs to do some kind of " peldge of allegiance " showing that he is willing to marry some one overseas and marriage is real not fake. so it will make the immigration process little more eassier rather they feel suspicion about you. is that true does that really happen now? thanks in advance

Ha- Im a girl

As for the arranged marriage...while it is not a reason for a visa denial, at the consulate interview such marriages may come under extra scrutiny that it has been entered into with good faith. Therefore make sure your uncle has made visits to see his future bride, has pictures of them together other than their wedding, can show phone/email records proving that they are both in regular contact with one another.

Here are a bunch of threads I came across that may help you put your mind at ease.

As for the whole pledge of allegiance.....well I have never heard of that for a spousal visa. I know (from personal experience) that with a fiance visa both the USC and the non USC (me) had to write letters of intent stating that we were both free to marry and were willing to do so within 90 days of entering the US on a K1 visa. This was to be included in our K1 petition. However, your uncle and his new wife will already be married I dont understand how it is applicable for a spousal visa. Maybe someone with more knowledge will be able to enlighten me....unless the lawyer is stating the cultural norms that is expected of a foreign born person marrying someone of his future wife's country?
