Hello everyone, im new here. Well, theres not much information about this. I want to petition for a k1 visa, I receive supplemental security income and social security disability income, 730.00 a month, definitly i dont meet the poverty income guidlines, but i do have my brother and his wife as co sponsors jointly, but they do not live with me. Would that be a problem for me? Also a lawyer told me that if i use a co sponsor it will decrease my chances of success by around 20%, is that true?

Not it is not true, read the guide and you will see how it works. You do not need a lawyer for this process, we support each other here in the forums and share experiences. Just read the guides and you will be done, I am talking to you because of my experience here as a member. :thumbs:

Your brother not living with you is not a problem. Immigration just wants to know that there is money that will support this person being brought to the USA. Whoever that lawyer was that told you that should not be practicing law... Using a co sponsor will NOT decrease your chances of success. If you can not meet the federal poverty income guidelines YES you need a co sponsor.

Good luck to you!

Depends on the consulate... a co-sponsor in Bangkok will reduce your chances by 100%.

I am not sure what Lima's requirement or historical practice is but your answer needs come from someone who is knowledgeable of Lima, as an answer from someone who does not understand the consulate's practice might give you the wrong answer and false hope.

YMMV
