K1 co-sponsor at the US Embassy in Manila is a case by case basis.

Reference: Fiancé(e) Visa Information

Date: April 24, 2009

This is in reply to your inquiry of April 24, 2009, regarding your visa concerns.

Petitioners in fiancé(e) (K1) nonimmigrant visa cases are generally expected to provide the adequacy of their own financial resources to ensure that an alien, after admission into the United States, will not become primarily dependent on the US Government for subsistence. While our immigration law does not disallow joint sponsorships for K nonimmigrant visa applicants, the mere submission of an I-134 Affidavit of Support from joint sponsors is not sufficient to establish that the alien is not likely to become a public charge. Accordingly, we make a thorough evaluation of other factors, such as the sponsor’s motives in submitting the Form I-134, the sponsor’s relationship to the applicant or petitioner, the length of time the sponsor and applicant have known each other, etc. An I-134 Affidavit of Support submitted by a casual friend or distant relative who has little or no personal knowledge of the applicant has limited value. Unlike the I-864 filed by joint sponsors in immigrant visa cases, the I-134 is not legally binding and imposes no legal obligation on the joint sponsor to make good on his or her promises. Please be assured that we look at the totality of circumstances in assessing the credibility of joint sponsorships.

There is no USCIS rule against thios, the co-sponsor can be any US citizen or Legal Permanent resident but Manilla has their own rules about this, consulates can make whatever rules they want. I belive Manilla reuires co-sponsors of K-1s to be family members, which you have covered. I do not know if it will make difference that your fiance is in Guam. I would doubt it from what I have read.

Gathering info is fine, but I would not delay anything on it. Consulates decide each case individually. If you are looking for some sort of guarantee before you go for the medical, don't bother. There are no guarantees.

Moving thread to:

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

You are almost there and now you have to deal with the embassy. This is the place to post your experiences or questions related to this last step before moving to the US. Topics relating to I-134's, packets sent from consulate and medical & police certificates should be posted here.

From the previous post here, it seems that CO at the US embassy at Manila didn't allow co-sponsor for K1-Visa. However, there are some case here that they allow it under different circumstances.

Can your petitioner find a job at least before your interview?

Non-family members as co-sponsor(s) for the K1 visa have been successful at the interview, it a case by case basis for both family and non-family member(s)
