I-134 for K1 visa

[Khadijah24 0]

I lost my job of 12+ years last week so I currently have no paycheck, but have well over the 5x miminum wage in assests to sponsor my finace on my own. We keep hearing different things out of Pakistan, where my finace is from. Some say I need a sponsor anyway since I am currently not employed (which I can find a co-sponsor). Others say they have been turned down even with a co-sponsor because the sponsor does not have a job. It would be easy for me to find a minimum wage job, but we were really hoping for me to go to Pakistan to stay with him until he receives his visa as we do not want to be apart 2+ years. Can anyone give us some advice?

In all honesty I believe that you really do need to have a current job to be able to sponsor your fiance. I have read that they accept co-sponsors for husband visa's but not K-1s. I have maybe read 1 or 2. The majority i read was rejection. Assets is a part of it, but they might ask how have you been surviving without a job for so long. Assets might eventually run out. I believe that it would make your case stronger to have a job that is above fed poverty level to be able to support both you and your hubby. Maybe invest in a small business where you can have someone else run it...maybe sell things from pakistan..some sort of current income? then possibly you could stay with him in Pak and move back and forth. My only concern is them saying you all will stay together before marriage? i know pakistan is conservative but..i dont know cant speak for what will be in the officer's brain.

good luck!

sorry to head you lost your job. i misread it. I thougth you lost your job 12 years ago. my bad. I say keep looking for another job and in the mean time maybe find that minimum wage job?
