 Hey Fiola! Our interview is on the 25th and I am bringing my fiance's w2 from 2015 with me. He also has low income that year so we got a joint sponsor to back us up. In this case, we got my aunt as the joint sponsor. You still have time to get one. The primary reason for bringing all these documents to the interview is to assure the US government that our fiance can support us and we won't become a public charge. Not being able to meet the poverty guideline as per your fiance's household size can be questionable and can be a reason for visa denial (apart from lacking some documents) so you will need somebody to add his/her income with your fiance's to back you up and making sure that all documents required are available with you at the time of the interview.

 

As per Google: "A joint sponsor is a person who is not the petitioner for the fiance visa applicant but who meets the citizenship, residence, and age requirements and who meets the 125 percent minimum income requirement for his or her household size."

 

He/she also needs to submit the same paperworks that the petitioner has to submit including proof of citizenship, form I-134 and also needs to provide tax forms and w2, paystubs and employee certificate. Best of luck to our journey! :)

Hi!

 

Thank you for your help :) My visa has been approved by the embassy today. I just put my W-2 and return tax (2015) my fiance and it doesnt matter to attach 2015 report, because my fiance has requirement income in 2016. I was in panic yesterday. Hope your final stage works well :) Best of luck!

I don't know about the embassy that you going through but it is well known that some embassies will not accept joint sponsors for the K-1 visa. You need to check your regional forum on whether your local embassy will accept joint sponsors. Also just as a side note if they do allow a joint sponsor then that individual will need to meet the 125% poverty level income in his/her own right and based on his household size.

Thank you TandD2016! We are processing our fiance visa here in UAE, and they do accept joint sponsors. I read somewhere in Google that they don't really accept in the Philippines so I am glad to be processing the visa here in UAE. My aunt is our joint sponsor (my dad's sister) and she does meet all the requirements to be a joint sponsor. :)
