hi fellow Pinays (and hubby)

I posted the same question before and I got several replies from senior members here who also have Manila as their embassy post.

Most of them said that co-sponsors for K1 are accepted on a case-to-case basis. Some say they've seen couples who had co-sponsors and got approved. It seems like nobody really knows the perfect or right answer to this question.

They all have the same advice though, that it's better to be "armed" with more documents for financial support because the usual reason for denial or further processing is the inability of the petitioner to prove that he/she can support the beneficiary and his/her dependents.

My fiance and I are having his dad as his co-sponsor. We will have both the I-134 and I-864 from his dad just to be super sure. Because there was one thread I read before that suggested to also have the I-864 (even if it's not required at the interview stage in Manila) since it's more 'encompassing' on the financial support once you move there.

Another important thing to note is that it's better to have a close relative as a co-sponsor (like an immediate family member).

I hope this helps, somehow. Please be aware that I'm only saying things that other people have advised me but I have not personally gone through this yet. My interview will be in January 2012.

Here is the place I'd post your question:

I'm glad you read what I wrote to the respondent to your other thread. I've read too many horror stories about Manila Embassy. Best to do your research upfront so there are no surprises on interview day.

Good luck to you!

I would also recommend that the petitioner attend the interview.

Wow, me and my fiancee are in the exact same situation. We will also be using the I-864 along with the I-I34. Our co-sponsor is my father as well. And our interview will be in January 2012 as well. Best of luck!!! :)

And, thank you Tahoma for all of your support. You have helped me through this whole process. You are a blessing to all the VJ Members. Best Regards.
