Help! Affidavit of support:?

[aly710 0]

Hi, guys!

My fiance and I are getting ready to send out our K-1 packet and there's something that's really freaking me out. I know that I will need to show I can support him financially but I am a full time college student and only work sporadically. However, my father, who I live with and I believe still claims me as a dependent on his taxes, has agreed to co-sponsor for me. He is gainfully employed and more than meets the requirement and he really wants to help us out. Will his income and sponsorship be sufficient to allow my fiance to move here?

The post is vague so its hard to know what to tell you. For example the name of the country your fiancé is from. Not all of them allow co sponsors. Check with your countries embassy to find out.

If its is allowed and the fathers income is sufficient there should be no problem.

Thanks for the reply

Sorry if it was vague. My fiance is from the UK. I have worked on and off since I graduated high school but I'm still about two years away from getting a degree so I can't do more than about 20 hours of work per week while I'm in school. But hopefully that combined with my dad backing us will be enough.

I'm one of those people who worries a lot so it's kind of been weighing on me, haha.

Welcome to the forum.

(accessible at the top of the forum page). In particular, the step-by-step K-1 guide and the Affidavit of Support Tips:

Other good sources of information are the USCIS Poverty Guidelines and the UK Regional Forum:

That should get you started.

Good luck.

The U K will accept co sponsors. Worry is part of the journey but the more you learn the easier it becomes to understand where the future lies.

The rules of the K 1 require you to marry within 90 days. Once that is done you may decide to file the AOS which will result in a green card for her. That allows her to work and the AOS process allows the use of a co sponsor.
