Summary
Used when the primary sponsor’s income/assets fall short in family cases.
Short answer: when the primary sponsor’s income/assets miss poverty-guideline levels, family immigration may need a joint sponsor. The joint sponsor must meet income and domicile tests. Investment routes rarely use this instead of capital.
FAQ
Must the joint sponsor immigrate?

How long liable?
