K1 co-sponsoring question

[jef_rj 0]

Hi, we need advice to ease our anxiety. Thank you.

My fiancee is a graduating college student who works 15h per week and we are using her sister who shares the same household as a co-sponsor. Her salary is above the required threshold (60,xxx).

We are already approved by the CSC and waiting for our #MNL from NVC.

Please share your experiences, knowledge and wisdom with us.

Much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

and also, is she and her sister are going to fill up both the I134 and I864 support forms? thanks again.

I'm sorry but basing on what I've read here on VJ, plenty of people said the consulate in Manila is currently very strict/reluctant to allow a cosponsor. They do review everything case to case basis, so be absolutely prepared. I wish the best of luck to you and your fiance!

USEM can be very picky about accepting a co-sponsor with the K-1 visa, when they do consider a co-sponsor they want it to be relative so your sister is a good co-sponsor. And yes I suggest that both the sponsor (your fiancee) and her sister complete the I-134 & I-864, the addition of the I-864 does improve the odds of having the co-sponsor accepted (still no guarantees).
