If he does not qualify financially, he will need to find a co-sponsor regardless of a K1 or CR1.

 

Good Luck!

Either way he would have to prove that he can support you po. So if he doesn't make enough money then he would need a cosponsor in order to petition you.

Thank you! Do you know what are the requirements for co-sponsor?

It is the same as if he were to be accepted as a sponsor.   100% of the federal poverty level for petition and 125% for the AOS.   https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p   The petitioner still has to file the I-134 in addition to a co-sponsor.

 

This does not mean that the possibility of denial based on Public Charge will be avoided.  If he is on disability and cannot support himself and his bride, the CO might surmise that you could become a public charge.

 

If he has disability coming in it might be cheaper and marry and live in the Philippines.

I thought Manila rarely, if ever, accepted co-sponsors?
