Re: dont know whta to do

If your brother-in-law is a co-sponsor and he has submitted documentation and is still willing to financially be responsible for the beneficiary, then the documentation submitted to the USCIS should be enough to show that the beneficiary will not be a public charge. Only the primary sponsor has to go to the interview, so your brother-in-law wouldn't have to go.

At this point, there's a chance that the USCIS won't request any additional information from your brother-in-law, if you provided all the necessary documents intitally.

In the meantime, it may be a good idea to look for a substitute co-sponsor in case they require one.

Dear Inquirer:

Wait until the USCIS asks for proof of your co-sponsor's domicile before worrying about this problem. If you are scheduled for an interview, you will probably need a new co-sponsor if your brother-in-law has permanently relocated to another country.

I recommend that you visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com or email me at [email protected] if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.
