Do you have to prove that you can financially support your fiance when he/she gets to the U.S?

[Kodi & Lukasz 0]

Hey everyone!

Im from Texas and my fiance is from Poland. Im just wondering if Im going to have to prove that I can financially support my fiance. Im worried about this because right now I am a full time student and Im not sure if I will be able to support the both of us.

If anyone has any advice or knowledge on this I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks, Kodi

Yes. You will need a co-sponsor.

Yes. You need to some homework on what is involved in this process and one of those items is being able to support the two of you on your own or getting a co-sponsor to do it for you. Assuming you will be doing a K1 visa for her, please read the guidlines on this site as to what you are getting involved in.

It looks like you will need a co-sponsor. It would be good to make sure that Poland allows co-sponsors. For the actual fiancee visa, you will need to prove that you make 100% of the poverty guidelines, then when you AOS it will need to be 125%. I was also a full time student when going through the K-1 process so my dad was a co-sponsor for the I-134. By the time my now husband came to the US, I was out of school. When we did AOS, I had just gotten a new job, but we were approved with my income alone and didn't need a co-sponsor.

Why do people keep posting this? Most consulates will require the 125% level for a K-1 visa because you will need the 125% in just a short time down the road when you file for AOS. No one should rely on getting by with only 100% unless they are active duty military. People should prepare to have 125% or greater, or get a co-sponsor lined up. The consulates go by the guidelines and instructions for the I-864, even when only asking for the I-134 to be filled out. These are the poverty guideline requirements: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

125% ... always.
