Is anyone an immigration attorney and/or familiar with the VISA process? More specifically, I would like to know about sponsorship of a citizen of the Philippines who would like to immigrate to the US. I know that the Immigration Service must be petitioned and that an Affidavit of Support must be approved. My question is if a person wants to bring someone to the US, can they find out if they qualify as a sponsor prior to commencing the VISA application process?
