Which form i have to fill in order to sponsor my friend wife to get her green card i-130?

Question

my friend wife has scheduled a meeting at the US embassy in Amman - Jordan next January 2009 in order to submit the i-130 form. We need to know how can i sponsor her and what form do i have to submit i-864 or i-864a ?

Answer 1

Only a US citizen who is a blood relative (parent, sibling or adult child) or a spouse may sponsor an immigrant.  You cannot sponsor your friend's wife even if you are a US citizen.

Answer 2

Since you're only talking about filing an Affidavit of Support, you can help if you are a legal resident or US citizen, living in the US. Your friend would still need to file his own I-864 and you would have to file the I-864a as a joint sponsor. You would also need to submit US tax filings for the past 3 years as proof of your income.
