K1 - Affidavit of support - Retired Military Fiance

[Kimnee 0]

Dear All,

 

I just need your help and advised regarding our case. My Fiance is a retired military as an early age. he is a full time just student now and will be graduated this August 2019. He has no job and just receiving monthly benefits to the government.

 

We are waiting for NOA2 and we are gathering all the requirements for the interview just in case NOA2 will arrived. His parents are willing to give us a full co sponsor.

 

Questions

 

1. Both parents are joint in ITR and their dependent is my Fiance. It is possible to them give us a sponsorship? parents are both need to fill up affidavit of support?

 

2. Did my fiance need to fill up affidavit of support even he dont have the job?

 

3. US consul will accept this case? or will be cause of our denial?

 

Please give advised. thank you

PH does not routinely accept co sponsors for fiance visas. If you NEED co sponsors, it is best to get married and file for a CR1 as they have less issue with that.

Your co-sponsor needs to meet the requirement for their own household size plus the foreign fiancé(e). They fill out their own separate I-134 and provide their supporting documentation: most recent tax transcript (or complete copy of return), and proof of current income such as letter from employer and/or recent pay stubs. Add in proof that the co-sponsor is a USC or LPR. Your fiancé(e) will hand your I-134 and supporting documents along with the co-sponsors at the interview when asked for them. The co-sponsor must provide every document required in the I-134 as it does for the applicant, not just "dads pay stubs". Follow the official instructions for the I-134 and you should then be prepared when asked for the financials.

 

A Joint Sponsor must meet all these requirements;

 

1.  Be over age 18; AND

2.  Be either a USC or LPR; AND

3.  Be domiciled in the US; AND

4.  Meets or exceed the 125% poverty level with income and/or assets for his/her household size

 

US embassy Manila prefers that the joint sponsor for K1 is an immediate relative of the petitioner (ex: parent or sibling).  They do not have to except the co-sponsor for a K1, but each case is different. We have seen approvals and we have seen rejected applications. 

 

If the K1 visa application fails, you can take the spousal route. You would marry in the Philippines and then file for a visa In the IR1/CR1 category, the joint sponsor can be anybody (relative or friend) as long as they meet the requirements.  This process the CO must take the sponsor.

Does he have any military retirement pay? You say retired. But if he is young and not receiving a military pension he was discharged not retired from military service. He may just be receiving Education Benefits.  Manila rarely asks for the I-134. But, if they read on the forwarded petition that he is a student and not working it might spark the CO's interest in his income.
