K1-Visa Co-Sponsor

[Tia&Bj 0]

Hey everyone,

I have a question about the Co-Sponsor process.

When should you take care of it?

Will they ask you for it at one point or should you show some self initiative?

We are both recent university graduates. I have a MSc in International Business and she (US citizen) is a Dr. med.. We both studied in Europe. She is currently residing in the US and is going through the medical residency application and interview process. Her residency would start in July. We received our NOA1 in the beginning of November 2012. Since she has been a student for the past 7 years and hasnt lived in the US for the last 10 years, she obviously hasnt earned any money. Although she currently works at a wine bar, Im guessing its not enough? Her sister and parents both earn enough to be able to co-sponsor us.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

You will need your co-sponsor at two stages - when you apply for your visa at your embassy/consulate (use the I-134), and when you apply for adjustment of status (use the I-864)
