Evidence of Support

[Virtureofpatience 0]

I am in the early stages of gathering things for a K-1 visa. We want to have all paper work in order in hopes of going ahead with getting engaged in about a year. I am in love with a man from Algeria who has been living in Greece for 17 years on green cards.

The BIG problem is our financial statues. I have money saved up but I have no W-2's for the last many years. He has a very limited funds as Greece's economy has crashed and so did his work. Now he is injured creating a big obstacle to work.

Can we have a cosponsor? My parents are decently well-off can they sponsor me?? What about him? Does he need someone in Greece or Algeria to sponsor him too?

Are there things I can start doing now that will make this process possible sooner than later? I know it will take time to build up financial stability but what are we looking at here??

Any advice is very welcome. Thanks

Concerning your W-2s, you can contact the IRS and request your tax transcripts from the previous years. This will be accepted and is your only options when your W-2s are not available.

As far as a co-sponsor goes, co-sponsors from what I can tell are accepted at most consulates, but there are some that do not. If you know what embassy his case will get sent to, look their info up on this site and through their own website if one is available. Also try to find others that have gone through that embassy and see if they were successful using a co-sponsor. I am also fairly certain that most anyone can co-sponsor for you, family member, friend. They just want someone to take the wrap if your guy becomes a public charge.

From what it sounds like, you to have not met yet. Am I right? If so, I have more advice for you

Hope this helps!
