K1 co sponsor if I don’t meet financial requirements

[cassmatt 0]

Im not seeing much topic on co sponsors, and I need help. Cause this girl is scared of this process.

 

My fiancé is from Germany, I am from America. we want to get married and I do not meet the financial requirements for the K-1. 
I have a co sponsor who does, but is retired. 
 

has anyone gone through this process with a. I sponsor before? Can you help me understand if I will be able to marry my German fiancé if I don’t meet income requirements and have a co sponsor ?

If finances are an issue, why not pursue a CR1 spouse visa?  You will need to be married first, but the spouse visa allows your spouse to work on day 1 of arriving in the US.  With the K1, your fiance will not be allowed to work after arriving in the US, and you will need to support him/her while they wait for their EAD to be approved. 

 

To answer your question, as long as your co-sponsor for the K1 (form I-134) qualifies, then you should be ok.  If you go the CR1 spouse visa route, your joint sponsor (I-1864) can help you qualify.
