Fiance on disability will this be a problem (i'm petitioner)

[SDB112585 0]

Me and my fiance recently recieved packet 3 and are getting paperwork together so i've been doing research on the financial documents and I came across this

"Not having adequate income will not usually be a problem if you have a co-sponsor, according to experiences

posted on the newsgroup, as long as the co-sponsor has adequate income/assets.

Be aware that the co-sponsor must have enough income/assets for both your fiance, any fiance children that will

be immigrating, and his/her own household. However, that IF the US fiance has been on welfare or other

government benefits for a lifetime or has no plans to work actively, the consulate can still deny the visa based on

the likelihood that the foreign fiance will become a public charge. Just having a co-sponsor may not be sufficient.

An actual case has been documented wherein a fiance visa was denied because the petitioning fiance was on

government benefits and would not be working, even though the US fiance had two co-sponsors."

my fiance has been on welfare in australia for 4 yrs recently got switched to disability due to a anxiety problem, he has worked in the past for 5yrs his work history and info is showing on his biographic data sheet and he plans to get a job when he arrives in the states will this be a problem for us? I am also a full time student about to get out of school so I am currently unemployed but I have my mom and stepdad to co sponsor they make over the income requirement so I hope eveything goes ok will any of this be a problem any advice is greatly appreciated.

All of the above info about sponsorship pertain to the petitioner. I don't think they care about what he makes. They are just worried about you supporting him.

Best of luck!

I know they do look at health/mental health issues and whether you would have to support someone based on health issues or have more expenses because of health issues. If he needed meds or, God forbid,hospitalization, he would not have access to health insurance initially here. Was he able to work while classed as disabled? I can't imagine it would look good that he is classified "disabled" by his diagnosis. I don't know the answer to your question but maybe this is something that will impact the answer? If it is a problem, perhaps a doctor would help you document he is stable, able to work, etc. and that might possibly help? I don't know but I hope some of the more knowledgeable folks weigh in on this.

I was wondering that. The health/mental health issue may raise some additional questions.

The income is solely about the petitioner and whether you are able to support him. You will yes need a co sponsor for the 134 and also 864 when you do AOS after marriage if you don't have a job by then. As far as anxiety goes his medical in Australia is about blood tests and TB x rays. SO Unless he has been admitted to a phych hospital for a time there is nothing to worry about as you the petitioner are solely responsible for hm in the US.
