I-134A Cosponsor

[thefish 0]

I am currently in my last year of University (Mechanical Engineering UG student) and am applying to all top graduate school now. Naturally in this position I don’t have a lot of money, mostly just student loans, and help from my parents. So I am sure I will need a cosponsor.

How does the cosponsor thing work do we just submit 2 I-134A forms (one from me and one from them) or is there something else that needs to be filled out?

My USC fiancee is in the exact same situation as you, and we have used her

dad as a co-sponsor.

What you said is precisely the way it works. The K1 petitioner must fill out an

I-134, regardless of income. If a co-sponsor is needed, then they must fill out

their own I-134, and gather their own supporting evidence (bank statement,

employer letter, tax return [if self-employed]).

It's pretty simple and straightforward. If you've any more questions, just ask!

Elwinto was right. Just like to add that some consulates don't accept co-sponsers while others do. Depends on which one you are going through. Best to add on your profile which one your going through to get answer about that from others from the same.

I have a new cosponsor question. I am currently putting together my I134 in preparation to send to my fiance in Australia. I think my income will meet the guidelines, but I am not sure yet - it may be close.

If it is very close, and you have some money in the bank, will they take that into consideration?

Also, if it is very close (like within $2,000 of the limit) do you think they would take your earning POTENTIAL into consideration? For example, if you have a college degree and can show you have gotten a raise each year, etc. that they would let it slide? Is is based on the consolate officer's OPINION, or are they obligated to look at the bottom-line figure and say "Sorry, you're not at the limit so you need a co-sponsor"?

Has anyone been very close to the limit and made it through?

(I'm sorry there are so many questions in this one email! LOL!)
