Can I-134 and I-864 be filled by different people as joint sponsors?

[art1234 14]

Hello everyone,

We've failed for k1 visa 2 months ago and recently gotten into problems with joint sponsor as we lost our main sponsor due to their personal issues.

The idea is that we've found someone else that is willing to sponsor us, but the person only has the minimum income for I-134 as retirement money from government.

So we've come up with a plan where we could fill out the I-864 after I come over to US and my fiancé(petitioner) gonna find a job that will be able to meet the minimum requirement. 

As I understand technically its not illegal, in unlikely case we can't meet the I-864 requirements, to just leave US as think of other ways.

My question is if any one has done anything this extreme?

 

As an explanation I (beneficiary) have very well paying remote job so there's no real world issue of becoming a public-charge...so we're not trying to become freeloaders in US.

 

Thanks in advance

Yes you can use a different joint sponsor.

Be aware that a sponsor that marginal may not be accepted.

One option is to find the job then sponsor?

Working remotely before receiving work authorization on a K-1 is technically not legal and not recommended.

Why wait?  Petitioner should look to have that type of job now, or even before petitioning.
