hi, what are the documents my fiancé have to send me with the i 134 form ( taxes of what year) ? i will use co sponsor,

[Ilovemyman 147]

All dependt wich consulate you are going to apply.

There are consulates that acept one year, but there are others that want to see 3 last years.

But like in others post that you have made, you dont say your contry so you cant get the rights answers from people of your country.

In this forum you find the best answers from people from the same country of you.

Each consulate has its own rules.

[Ilovemyman 147]

Other thing no all consulate acept co-sponsor.

Here are the I-134 instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-134instr.pdf See "supporting evidence" for the additional documentation you may be asked to provide. As mentioned, the requirements vary by consulate, including whether or not a co-sponsor will be allowed. However, since you can't disclose which consulate you are applying at, none of us will be able to give you a definite answer. I suggest you consult the lawyers who have been advising you so far.

Would you like to "enlighten" the group as to what "Consulates" that you know of and/or have had experience with that do not "accept [a] co-sponsor?" I really have a problem with your post!

I also really have a problem with your post about a seeming "lack of authority" regarding what "US Consulates" do not according to your post that a "co-sponsor will not be allowed!"

i don't think the words you put in parantheses are from my post. the crux of my post was that the requirements for the I-134 vary by consulate. it is not impossible to get a co-sponsor through any consulate, but there are consulates that are known to be more reluctant and stringent about allowing the use of a co-sponsor - without naming names, so as not to derail the thread, a quick search on VJ will uncover which consulates these are.

Some that are more strict and reluctant to accept co-sponsors are the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, China, and I believe Nigeria and Morocco as well. It does not mean they will deny every case with a co-sponsor, but they do not just readily and easily accept all cases presenting a co-sponsor. Any consulate can refuse to accept a co-sponsor, just most do not. Even Italy has outright denied the use of a co-sponsor in several cases recently, and one I know of in Juarez too. Juarez is pretty lax on the financials, so that came as a surprise to me, and of course the person it happened to. Luckily they were allowed to present a co-sponsor and get approved, but only if that co-sponsor was willing to sign an I-864 instead of the I-134.

You are completely wrong glittersam, not all consulates except co sponsors.

If you think that the answers thatvyou get are wrong and that you have the right answers, then dont ask and just follow the process without answer.
And no all consulate acept co-sponsor, read more about that.

Thank you for taking the time to list some consulates and reason(s) as to why a co/joint sponsor was not or might not be accepted. My only concern is the Philippines. As I have stated before I know of a young man who used his parents as co-sponsors and elderly men who have used their child(ren) as co-sponsors and were accepted. I have also learned that it might be a better case to have an [immediate] family member be the co/joint sponsor. Most of my experience is with another Yahoo group that specializes in helping westerners immigrate filipino/a's to the USA. I would name the Yahoo group but the last time I did it got "edited" out by some rocket scientist here at VJ. I did read one story at VJ about a filipino/a being denied and after reading all of the posts learned that the petitioner had a list of issues and, more than likely, it was the petitioner that was denied and not the fact of having a co/joing sponsor. Again, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Are you trying to say you do not believe the Philippines is one of the countries that is strict on financials and using co-sponsors with a K-1 visa application? It has been discussed over and over again here on VJ through the years. They accept them on a case by case basis, and usually using an immediate relative and even an I-864 works best for getting one approved there. Doing a search here on VJ quickly brings up more than one case/story of a denied co-sponsor.

And this letter from the Manila consulate to someone that asked about co-sponsorship, shows that they prefer the petitioner to meet the requirement on their own, even though they do not deny all usage of co-sponsors > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/303348-k1-co-sponsor-in-manila-advise-pls/?p=4583076

The Philippines is one of those embassies that do not readily accept co-sponsors with the K-1 visa. USEM is very unpredictable and difficult about accepting co-sponsoring with the K-1.

hi, what are the documents my fiancé have to send me with the i 134 form ( taxes of what year) ? i will use co sponsor,

As said before, it would help to know what embassy you are processing through, each embassy has their own requirements to a degree.
