Co-sponsor and money

[Devkpaik 1]

Hey everyone,

So basically, here's my question. I am using a co-sponsor because I am a student and am currently in Thailand with my fiancee, thus I have no job right now. However, when i go back to America I am going to intern at my friend's dad's real estate development firm and go to school at the same time.

from what I understand you had to have made like 125% above the poverty line? My mom totally does, and I would as well if I worked consistently for a year.

Basically my question is I don't have much money right now, and my records probably won't prove it. I played poker for my money for pretty much the past year and I can't put that down haha, so do you think the co-sponsor alone should be okay? I think I have a W2 from the last time I worked (awhile ago).

Thanks everyone!

Based on what you've said, the co-sponsor is not only okay, but it's the only way. And the criteria isn't that you "had to have made" 125% above the poverty line, it's that your (or your co-sponsor) income is currently at or above the 125% poverty line. Bear in mind that your co-sponsor will have to submit the same documentation of employment and income as the regular sponsor.

Hey,

I do have a W2 and from what I understand only the most recent is required (although I tend to hear differently as well). Also, the co-sponsor is well above the poverty line. I understand the co-sponsor has to fill out the I-134 and we are going to submit the last 3 tax returns, last 3 W2's, a letter from the employer, etc.
