It seems that your affidavit of support was not accepted.

What is your occupation and what is your cousin's/mom's occupation?

A waiver may be demonstrating that the petitioner, you, will be above poverty limit because you are the primary sponsor and you will be the primary financial support for your fiancee/spouse. Do you have any assets you can use instead? That, or you find a job fast; any job that puts you above poverty guidelines and start saving your paystubs and employment letter for the embassy.

An embassy is not forced to accept the I134 from a co-sponsor. While another option is asking the embassy if they'll accept the I864 on behalf of a joint sponsor, I'd still go for finding a job or using assets.

Well i just started a homecare job for an elderly lady.about a week n a half ago. My cousin n mother are employed a a hospital here in our area as CNA's.

but my concern is that if they werent fonna accept the co sponsors then shouldnt they have told him that in the beginning.when he got interviewed?

Main reason why i wasnt employed for the past year was because my dad is on dialysis.i was the one taking him to the dialysis center n his doc appointments.n my fiance had informed the CO about that. Now im lost. I dont know if i should get a lawyer to help or what?

Well.. Yes and no - you mentioned in a previous post that your fiance originally forgot your affidavit of support. They do accept co-sponsors depending on the petitioner's situation. Many factors may be taken into account which is why they sometimes(rarely) accepts co-sponsors for K1 applicants. The embassy primarely looks into your income and situation before they look into the co-sponsor's info.

Had it been a hardship waiver, I would've said yes to the lawyer. When it about your income, a you have the same abilities as a lawyer: submitting proof of paystubs, employment letter, assets. Basically anything that puts you over the minimum income level according to the poverty guidelines.

It said on the letter they sent with the passport that he can apply for a waiver.not exactly sure what it means. So since they sent him his passport back and everything does that mean he's been denied? Dont they usually stamp that on your passport? Or at least have the letter say its denied? Cause my fiance said it doesnt have anything.

So then since i just started working, i should get a letter from the person that handles everything with my patient? Cause i they have been paying me with personal checks.

Inquire about status of your case through phone here and have your embassy case number ready; http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3177.html

Was he given a slip, a letter, anything? And what did it specifically say, which bxes were checked?

When depositing checks, you (usually) get an electronic image of the check on your account. When accessing it online, I can basically print the image of the check out. Have you thought about contacting your bank in case you don't have access to online banking? That, and yes, a statement from your employer. You can search Visa Journey for examples of what an employment letter consists of.
