Can I get my fiancee using a co-sponsor for K-1 visa? 9 Answers as of February 20, 2012

You can have a co-sponsor for any application and as long as the joint sponsor is a US citizen or a US permanent resident with sufficient income or assets, it should be fine.

You can always have co-sponsors for affidavits of support in immigration visa petitions. You will have to prepare your own as the petition and you will supplement it with your parents or any other person who makes the appropriate income and is willing to be financially responsible for the beneficiary (your fianc? in this case). The above is only general information and shall not be construed as legal advice. It is always recommend you consult with an attorney to review all the details of your case.

You can use a co-sponsor if you do not meet the affidavit of support requirements. The co-sponsor must be able to support himself/herself, the petitioner, each of their immediate family members, the foreign fianc?e and any children of the fianc?e who will be receiving a K2 visa and coming to the U.S. The affidavit of support can be an issue with some U.S. Consulates, but under the law they are allowed. You may want to consider using the services of an attorney to ensure your case is properly considered.

Your parents can file an additional affidavit of support.

A Cosponsor should correct the concern. If the consulate does something improper, you can ask your congressional member to intervene.

You heard right. If you are going to file a nonimmigrant K-1 visa in Manila, then you will have to prove on your own that you will be able to provide for the person you are sponsoring. A way around it is to go down there and marry your fianc?e in good faith and file a K-3 instead.

Yes you can use a co-sponsor.

Unless I am missing something from your description you don?t need an affidavit of financial support or co-sponsor to petition for your fianc?e to come to marry you in the United States. The process goes first with you filing/signing Petition for alien fianc?e on form I-129F that goes to your district?s USCIS office for adjudication. Few months later you will receive approval notice that will advise you that your approved petition is sent to National Visa Center (department of State) another months or so later if you properly advise them about processing consulate of your fianc?e they will (hopefully) send his visa number to the consulate that will schedule an interview for your fianc?e. Once he attends the interview and receives actual fianc?s K1 visa he can arrive to the United States and must marry you within couple of months. Once you have marriage certificate then you can apply for his permanent residency at which point you will need to worry about financial support/co-sponsors and such. Also, the assets and income of your spouse/intending immigrant can be counted into sponsorship as well under the different formula however. Good luck.

Yes you may have your parents sign an affidavit of support as joint sponsors.
