I lost my job in October and at the same time received the affidavit of Support form in the mail to bring my husband over from Jamaica. I have no steady income other than unemployment. I have no family to sponsor my husband to use on the form. I need my husbands assistance to keep me afloat. What do I do?

Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

You fill out the Affidavit in an honest fashion, telling the truth, and see how things work out. I see no other choice.

If you want to complete the process, you have 2 options; (1) use the asset test of 5 times the difference you are short on the USCIS minimum of 125% of the HHS poverty guidelines for your family size. Please note the new 2009 guidelines have come out so the numbers have increased or (2) get a joint sponsor. They do not need to be a family member, but must qualify including your family size.

You cannot use your husbands income as it is not in the US.

If this was helpful, please rate this answer, thanks and good luck.
