K-1 Affidavit of Support

[Kolewenoik31 57]

Sorry, they won't allow God to be your co-sponsor.

OK to be serious, you're looking to deal with a high fraud country, where every relationship is highly under suspicion. You don't say if you're on welfare, SSI, or disability, but each is going to raise different red flags. The ability to support the immigrant, and your intentions on bring someone in as your spouse. I'm not sure if you're the man or the woman either, but the question of if you're bringing in a spouse to support you, or be caretaker for you is another red flag that may be popping up. If you've a large age gap, particularly a woman that is older, another red flag. Red flags are not good things, these are all things that need to be overcome with better evidence of a real relationship, and real future earning potential. Best way to show a real relationship is with a lot of time in each other's physical presence. Something thats going to be hard if you have a limited income.

My advice is to go to the lower forums, find which one has more information on the embassy in Kenya and read, read, read. You've only given your red flags so far, even there been evasive on your situation, so no one can even begin to guess what your chances are. Even with knowing all that, and if you got numerous opinions from people who have immigrated through that embassy, much will depend on how well your intended spouse portrays him/her self during the interview. If they're timid, afraid or evasive, even the best case can get shot down.

I will also point you to the comment that I gave jenafid...I am not being evasive but I do not need to be a politician and put all my business on the internet like I have seen a lot of people do. Only enough to get a person who may be going through the same thing/ or has gone through the same thing to be and to receive support and encouragement. God will supply all of my needs even a co-sponsor. BTW, if you are curious of our relationship please read our story! God be with ye as well

I will point out to you, when you want specific answers to questions, you need to give specific information. As it is, you want to keep your situation private, I understand that, many people do. But then don't go asking questions of what your chances are when you're giving next to no information. The best you can do is search for what others have gone through and their stories, the ones willing to share their information and come up with your own guess. Even from non-high fraud countries getting a co-sponsor accepted can be a guessing game. There is zero requirement that the state department accept a co-sponsor for a K-1 visa. Some embassies accept no co-sponsors, some accept pretty much all co-sponsors, and some its 50/50. It is totally up to the CO at the embassy. If he thinks something doesn't look right and there is the need for a co-sponsor, they just don't accept the co-sponsor, and its a easy denial to justify. All embassies are required to accept co-sponsors for spousal visas, CR-1 and IR-1. If you want to remove one possible denial reason, don't go the K-1 route. The K-1 is more expensive and they don't have to accept your co-sponsor. With a CR-1 or IR-1 your spouse will receive a green card upon entry.

BTW stating three different types of government distribution programs for income in order to hide the one you're on, is being evasive.

Here's a link for reviews of K-1's at the Kenya embassy. This will hopefully give you some idea of what hurdles you'll be facing.

I'd also recommend again you follow the Sub-Saharan regional forum for more on what you'll be facing.

I self sponsored, not always an option.

You say "Silence is golden" but you complained that no one responded.
