Co-sponsors are accepted on a case by case basis in Manila. It will depend on your situation.

US embassy Manila prefers that the joint sponsor for K1 is an immediate kin of the petitioner (ex: parent or sibling).

If it fails, you can take the spousal route. In the IR1/CR1 category, the joint sponsor can be anybody (relative or friend) as long as they meet the requirements.

Good luck!

Joint sponsors have been allowed on a case by case basis in the past for K-1 visas.

Just as an aside, is there any particular reason all your posts are all in CAPS?

@manilaraf Sorry about the caps i just usually use them a lot i guess - its not becuase im angry.

Someone posted that the sponsor should be my relatives or my family - Im sure none of them will sponsor for me plus they live far away from me.

Why cant it be a best friend?

Can my parents be a sponsor if they are older and retired? They dont make much money.

Does the sponsor have to make poverty level requirements also?

USEM does not have to accept a co-sponsor with the K-1 visa (the embassy does have to accept a qualified co-sponsor, doesn't even have to be family, with an immigrant visa such as the IR/CR-1 spousal visa), but when then do accept a co-sponsor with the K-1 they want it to be a close relative - parents, siblings are best. Age isn't relevant, as long as they are of legal age. The co-sponsors income must meet the same 125% poverty guidelines as the sponsor.

Looks like i wont be able to bring her here then my parents and my brother are against her coming here so they wont sponsor.

Ive been divorced twice from asain women (one Thia and one Filipina) and they dont want me getting hurt again they told me - so they dont want me to marry another asain woman.

There is no way i can afford to go back to the Philippines to marry her there either so im screwed!

Sorry you are having issues, I am sure your family are just trying to protect you and think this is the only way they can do this.

I know this isn't for everyone but could you move there instead?

It might be a way to show your family this will work so that in the future they might be willing to cosponsor in the future?

I'm tryng to find a job but its hard when you live in a small town and there just isnt anything out there.

No i cant move to the Philippines i have a son to take care of - me and my ex wife have joint custody - moving there would devastate my son he loves his dad very much - hes only 9 years old he wont understand.

Besides that i dont think disability RSDI would pay me if i left the country.

What about moving to a larger city to find work?

I'm going to assume you already talked to your fiancée about your financial situation. It might be prudent to delay the K1 process (your fiancée should understand), until you get a job if you don't have anyone willing to sponsor or assets to meet the poverty level at this time. Life are full of hard choices that one has to make, and you will have to decide what is in your best interest. Personally I would wait until my financial situation get better, but that's just me.
