Let’s clear up some confusion - if you’ve won the DV lottery, you don’t need a petitioner - an employer or family member petitioning for you.But you may still need a financial sponsor if you can’t otherwise prove the ability to support yourself here (from employment, personal assets, etc.) While they don’t make a financial sponsor sign the long and legally onerous I-864 affidavit of support form, they may require someone with sufficient income to sign the less burdensome I-134 Affidavit of Support.Speak with a lawyer for further guidance.
