student concerned about I-134

[lawboy81 0]

Hi, I'm new here.

My fiancee and I (I'm the American petitioner) have been approved for the interview. I have to fill out the I-134 income form. I'm currently in law school. I can take out up to about $19,000 in loans for living expenses. Is anyone else here a student? Will this matter, or will it not be a problem. I'd rather not get a co-sponsor if I don't have to, but I can if I need to...

Also, what forms do you think I should submit with it? Something showing status as a full-time student and the amount I can take out in loans -- anything else?

Thanks.

Moving this thread to Consular Forums where the topic lies.

Before somebody jumps in and tells you that student loan 'cash' can't be used, I would tell you that I was once informed by an immigration attorney (who worked in a college town) that he had worked for many beneficiaries whose sponsors DID use student loan money on the I-134.

That being said - the standards for cash assets for family immigration cases is 3 dollars to 1 - not dollar for dollar. So $19K in student loan cash would find you far short. And I'm sure my lawyer friend wasn't referring to student loan cash being the ONLY money the sponsor had.

I think you should consider finding someone to help you with your sponsorship issue.

Just to follow rebeccajo, what country is your fiancee from? There are a couple of countries where co-sponsors are not always accepted.
