A 21 years old student applying for his fiance

[foofoo89 0]

Dear Visajouneyers,

I am 21 years old right now and currently enrolled at a University. I am in the process of applying my fiance to come over to the states with K-1 visa. She is having her interview in three weeks, I am quite nervous and afraid of visa denial. Do you guys mind telling me what are the percentage of visa denial for Malaysia?

Everything is well-prepared:

We have all the evidence and stuff

The only thing I am worry about is the affidavit of support. As a student, I only have an annual income of 9,000 dollars; however, I have a co-sponsor with an annual income of 40K with only two dependents. So, what are the possibilities of acceptance or denial?

Any comment would be appreciated. Thanks.

Jeff

I am not sure about Malaysia but being a student is not a problem. A couple of weeks ago my fiance had his interview and he got approved and I am also a college student and haven't worked in a couple of years....Be positive and hopefully your love one with be with you soon!!! Good Luck!

God willing, she's gonna get it. It's great you got a co-sponsor so you being a student is not a problem. You also state you have all the documents they(embassy) need as proof of relationship. No worries my friend. I just suggest you give her a call or skype and do a mock interview with you acting as the embassy consular. There's a lot of sample questions on VJ for the K1 visa.

Good luck and wish you the best together!!!!

Hello,

I've also got a similar situation. I am a student and almost ready to send in my petition. Since my biographical form states I am not currently employed, I am also a college student, should I include a paper stating I will have a co-sponsor(s) or include the I-134s? I don't want to be denied my petition simply because they believe he will become a public charge.

Thanks for all your help and time.

I sent in the petition as it is without stating that I will have a co-sponsor or stuff and they approved my petition. Personally, in my biographical form, it also states unemployed but they still approved my petition and has granted my fiance's an interview date. Hope this will help.

I'm not as familiar w/ the K-1 process, but my understanding is that only certain consulates accept a joint sponsor during the K-1 process. You should check to see that your consulate accepts them. Additionally, if they are accepted, you have to make sure that the amount that they have is the amount required by USCIS. I'm assuming if you went to the lengths of finding a co-sponsor, you know this, but just want to make it explicit. I don't know what the amount is for each of your situations (and am too tired to try to find it out), but you should double check if you haven't figured it out already.

Yes, you don't have to explain financials with the initial petition. Foofoo, you will probably be okay if your consulate accepts joint sponsors. If your joint sponsor makes 125% of poverty threshold for himself plus his dependents plus your beneficiary (likely around 20-25,000), you're fine. Don't worry.

Other person: you don't need to deal with the financials at the petition stage. Get it ready for a couple months down the road.

Thanks for your reply. I did go and check the requirement. My co-sponsor's income is definitely 120 percent above poverty level. And from what I heard, Malaysia's embassy does accept co-sponsor. The only thing that worries me is my student's status. I am worried that being a student might be a disadvantage to my situation. But thanks to everybody who replied, I think I am overworrying.

If everything is in order - you'll be fine! There are a lot of people who are students (including myself) here who are petitioning/have petitioned so don't worry.

i think you will have nothing to worry about. I am from Malaysia and my fiance (Husband right now) is still a college student and working part time. We have his father as a co-sponsor and we got the approval anyways. Besides, he is like 3 years younger than me. It just that it took us a long time to get the K1 and the interviewer at the embassy was a lil bit cranky so she was not that friendly. You can go read my review of embassy if you want to. But I think both of you will be ok! Don't worry! Good Luck!!
