Using co-sponsorship for K-1 Visa in Sofia Consulate /Bulgaria/

[pumpkinseed 10]

Hello!

I want to address Bulgarian VJ users who went through /or are still going through/ the K-1 process.

My fiance, the US citizen, is a full-time university student, so he cannot sponsor me (he will get a summer job but it won't be enough of an income).

We are planning on using his mother to co-sponsor us and she eligible as she has the required income and assets.

My question is , how do they look at this in the Consulate in Sofia, Bulgaria? (Because as I read here on the VJ forums, it's very different for every consulate). I called them and a very nice and informative lady told me they do accept that in general and I can even present proof that i am able to support myself, in addition and if applicable. So I am bringing an affidavit from my father (who is a Canadian citizen) that he would sponsor me, too.

I still have my doubts about what they really think of this though.

Any advice from people with experience in this is appreciated! Thanks

Joint sponsors are usually accepted for K1 visas at US consulates in European countries.

You should be fine as long as the forms show that you are above the poverty line. Just make sure you bring as much as you can.

Good luck!
