Can I put my friend as a joint sponsor who is us, citizen??
Hello, guys, I recently filed i130 as a petition for my spouse, and I am us citizen; and to be honest, my income will not meet much to sponsor my spouse. In this case, can I put my friend as a joint sponsor, and what are the steps for that? Can anyone related guide me through this, please?
I can not put as a joint sponsor from my family members because nobody supports me. In this case, I have only friends who can help me in this situation.

Yes you can put any US citizen as long as they qualify and are willing to sign it. You will need to file a form for you and the joint sponsor as well (later at the NVC stage).

For that, I need to submit both mine and his tax return w2along. Affidavit of support right.

Correct. If you can get the official IRS transcripts it would be perfect. I have seen the NVC occasionally request the transcripts instead of tax returns. Just to be safe and maybe save some time, I would recommend the transcripts.
You and the joint sponsor must both submit the i-864 form.

vavoune you are the main sponsor so no your spouse doesn’t need to file any form if you qualify base on your income. i needed a joint sponsor because my spouse income was not enough according to nvc so that was different
