Hi everybody.

I lived in the US until the age of 7, then my parents divorced and I went with my mother to Naples, Italy. After 15 years of horrible experiences with camorra (Naples Mafia) I bought a ticket and got back in the states. I'm living with my grandmother in Marks, Mississippi.

In Italy I met the most wonderful and sweet girl in this world, and we have been together for 3 years and I was planning to bring her here through a k1 visa and get married.

Right now I have no income and since I was planning to finally start college I don't and will not meet the income requirements for the affidavit of support. My grandmother is far over the requirements and she would very gladly be her sponsor.

As far as I understood there is no such thing as a k1 co-sponsor and each consulate or embassy may or may not accept it.

Am I wrong? (I really hope so)

What should I do?

yeah there is , if you dont make enough money to support you fiance/wife you can ask somebody to help you and be your co sponsor, and as far as i know most of the embassies are ok with that...

You're not wrong but it'd probably be rare for the Embassy/Consulate in Italy to reject grandma as a co-sponsor. I wouldn't sweat it.

Co-sponsors are accepted by the discretion of the individual Consulate. Certain Embassy's are famous for denials with co-sponsors, others will accept them...

Recommend you go to the European forum to post your question there. I think people who have dealt with your particular Embassy will be better suited to give you prudent advice.

Best of luck.

She's 63 and still working. She used to have 2 jobs, now she's retired from one.

Edit: Just wanted to add that you're all wonderful and nice. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
