I-134 Co-sponsor

[Pheebs1201 269]

Hello! Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place but I am new to this forum! My partner and I have just begun the K1 visa process but are trying to plan ahead and believe that will we be using a co-sponsor for the I-134 as he is a recent graduate. Does this mean both my partner and the co-sponsor fill out a separate I-134 each for us to submit? We have a long road ahead of us but just want to be prepared as possible

Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

Each consulate does their own thing when it comes to being satisfied that the beneficiary will not become a public charge. LONDON will accept a sponsor other than the fiancé, meaning only an I-134 from that person and not the fiancé. They have done this on a number of occasions over the years. The most recent one I read here in the UK forum said they were asked if they had a new letter of intent. I guess maybe they wanted to be sure the fiancé was still in the game since he didn't provide an affidavit of support. So maybe plan to have a letter of intent in your pocket in case you get that officer. That's the only time I have read that happening.

If your fiancé gets a job before your interview, he can sponsor. He only needs a letter from his employer. He doesn't need a tax return showing sufficient income. London will approve without any tax returns. They have approved a couple recently without looking at any income documentation, but I wouldn't count on that happening on every case.

Hi Nich-Nick

Thank you for your reply, it was extremely informative! I can't see any reason why he wouldn't get a job in the meantime but we are just trying to cover all of our bases! Thanks again for your help!
