Co-Sponsor/Sponsor

[deckerblack 1]

I read this on a blog

"Fiance visa applicants are often asked to show that their sponsor is able to support them at 100% of the federal Poverty Guidelines.These guidelines are published annually and can be found on Form I-864P, published by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The sponsor may be asked to fill out an Affidavit of Support on USCIS Form I-134 (which is much shorter than the I-864 Affidavit that sponsors of immigrants for green cards must fill out)."

My annual salary is below the 125% guidelines but my fiancé's salary is above the 125% guidelines. Does that mean i still need to get a co - sponsor or my fiance's salary covers for me

I really don't get the whole co-sponorship thing. Please help

Are you the foreign beneficiary? If so, your salary does not matte,r only your US citizen petitioner.

Do a sponsor pay any thing?

Hello !

Not long ago I had quite the ammount of questions about the same topic, I know some now and I'll try to explain to you.

Your sponsor is the person that is going to support you in your new country. Now, it's usually your fiancé. Now, if the fiance doesn't meet the 125% yearly income (Currently around 19.400 usd) you want a co sponsor.

Who's the co sponsor ? Since your fiance can't support you, someone else has to. So you can find someone else, someone which is an American Citizen, can be your fiance's mother, father, sisters, brothers, technically anyone. The closer to your fiancé the better. (Sometimes the consulate doesn't really like friends as sponsors). So, if this person you found has the 125% yearly income or more, you make the person fill out the I-134.

And to end, even if you're getting a co sponsor, your fiance should fill the I-134 as well, so at the interview you present them both, your fiance's and the person you chose as co sponsor.

Glad to help !

Are you referring to Affidavit of Support at the Consular section or that of AOS? If you are askg that of the interview at the Consular section, i doubt if they will accept the I-134 form. Mine wasnt even looked at during the submission of my docs awaiting the interview, and i know other people whose i-134 wasnt taken from them.

I was thinking having a sponsor or Co sponsor can help things out. Me and my wife is using this one account. So any information about this will help. We are also reading about all types of visa. But I never seen anything on how many you can have as sponsors?
