Cosponsor question

[S3C 0]

Hello, Everyone.

I'm new here, so here goes. I'm sorry if this question has been answered and if so please feel free to point me in the right direction and deleting this thread. I've tried searching for the answer with the search engine, but can't seem to find it. I was wondering if the beneficiary's parents are eligible to cosponsor.

Thank you in advance.

I'm sorry, I also have another question. About the I-129F packet, how important is having the copies of your passport stamps? Because I forgot to put that in but I had the boarding passes in it. And can I insert that into the next step?

Thank you again.

No , a benificary parents or family cannot sponsor a benificary on a k1 k2 k3 k4 visa . only the petitioner can sponsor the benificary , and your annual income has to be at 125% above federal proverty guidelines . The only thing a co-sponsor can do , is be the second sponsor . In the event that the Sponsor (Petitioner cannot provide for the benificary). And the co-sponsor of the benificary , must be a family member of the petitioner . How is the benificary parent or family going to support your fiancee soon too be husband and wife . When he or she arrives in the other country ?

The passport stamps are very important , it shows entry into that country . You may be getting an RFE (Request for Further Evidence), from USCIS . Same as if you did'nt include USA quality Passport Photo 1 of you and 1 for your fiancee . You must do few things in the Petition process (1) Prove you both have personally meet within 2 year prior to filling the Petition .( Just Photos of both of you together are not enough , cause it's just a photo of two people together . If you provide a photo copy of your passport the identification part clear enough where its easy too see your picture , and a form of photo id issued by the government of your fiancee country . Then you have the proof that you 2 have meet , but the other condition within 2 years prior too filling the Petition . Its good too have something with both of your name and the date on it , like a boarding pass on a bus or boat . Or even go as far as getting an affidavit from usembassy stating that you both have meet). (2) Letter to USCIS where you filled the petition , of your fiancee saying she or he want too marry you . And make the effect that you are aware that , you are petitioning to bring him or her too the USA so you can marry . (3) And prove that you have a bon-fidal relationship , by sending all letters that both of you received from eachother . ( It doesnt need too be the actual letter with the envelopes included . It can be just a photo copy of all the letters ) And dont be supprised if USCIS ask you to provide more evidence of a continuing relationship . At the end of USCIS process of your petition , this has happened before to other couples . So i would be prepaired for that too . I hope this helps you in your journey .

AaronM your info is incorrect.

They can be sponsors if they are US citizens or LPR's.

(taken from the I-864)

The substitute sponsor must be related to the intending immigrant in one of the following ways: spouse, parent,mother-in-law, father-in-law, sibling, child (at least 18 years of age), son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, grandparent, grandchild or legal guardian.The substitute sponsor must also be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

Second OP Question,

Stamps of your passport will show you met with the person within the 2 year period prior to the petition filing.

This is untrue. A co-sponsor can be any USC. This person does not have to be related to you or even living in the same State.

Some Embassies, including the PI, normally will not accept a co-sponsor unless this person has a vested interest in the relationship succeeding... this means a family member. Most will accept any USC. The I-134 is really only used to help prove to the CO that the beneficiary will not become a public charge once in the States. They will use the standards set by the I-864 (affidavit filed at AOS) for this purpose only. It is not enforced.

i think some of the info you're receiving is incorrect. the co-sponsor DOES have to be a US citizen; however, this person does NOT have to be a relative of the petitioner- at all. good luck

Your correct, but read the OP's question, he wanted to know if the beneficiaries parents can sponsor.

The answer is yes, if they are either US Citizens, or LPR's and *they have to be related*

If it was just the petitioner (USC), then yes, they do not have to be related.

yes, this is also correct.

Please refer to my post above. This information is NOT correct.

yes- however, another member told the OP this: And the co-sponsor of the benificary , must be a family member of the petitioner . i just wanted to make sure the OP got an accurate answer. some people tend to respond to questions they do not know the answer to and i can't figure out why!

Wow, thank you for all the responses, but you all have given different answers. If this will help, I will make it more clear. I am the petitioner so I will be the sponsor, but I would like to have a cosponsor for my fiance and his mother has offered to be a cosponsor, so I was wondering if that is allowed, if not then I will stick with my mom being the cosponsor. Isn't it fairly easy to transfer funds overseas?

And for the second question, I put in boarding passes and all the stuff that is required. I just forgot about putting in photocopies of our passports. So I wanted to know if I could add them into the second part of the K1 because the NOA2 part also wants proof of having met and relationship?

Thank you all again.

The person needs to be a USC.

Please read through the guides and faq for more information regarding the affidavit of support.

There is no 'second part' of the K-1. You have petitioned the US on behalf of your fiance in order for her to immigrate to the United States. Once she is approved at the USCIS she will then apply for a visa with the Embassy. It's an entirely seperate process.

If your boarding passes aren't enough to prove to the uscis that you have met within the last two years then you will be sent an RFE and they will request more proof... your passport stamps. This will come only after your petition has sat in storage for a while and when an adjuticator finally works on your case.

Most proof of on-going relationship is usually reserved for the Visa Interview at the Embassy but many will recommend sending at least some along with the initial peittion. Especially when dealing with a high fraud Embassy.

Most of the answers you are looking for can be found in the tabs and links at the top of the forums. Learning all you can about the process and the Embassy you are dealing with and then preparing as best you can is your best bet!

good luck to you
