I do understand what all of you are telling me. I just do not want to start the expensive process and ultimatly get denied. I have been searching for answers about co-sponsors or what I could do to aid our situation was all.

I found out that my fiance wll be a "public charge" and that will lead to an automatic denial for a K-1 Visa. Is there anything to make it so he won't get denied??

By law a greencard won't allow you to collect benefits. When you are natualized or become a citizen, that is when you could collect benefits.

Would they be willing to be on the hook financially for 10 years after adjusting status, though?  Its more than just filling out forms.

 

If I'm not mistaken, if your husband made use of public funds/benefits during that period, your co-sponsors would be required to reimburse the taxpayers.

 

Immigration is an expensive process.

That is why I asked about co-sponsors. I have a few family members that could help us out, finacially.

No idea who told you that being disabled means a K-1 visa (or any visa) would be denied. That's categorically wrong.

 

However, as noted, one must show that the intending immigrant will not become a public charge. If the disability has out of pocket expenses involved, that will be part of the consideration. If they are unable to obtain an income, that will be part of the consideration. But sufficient assets, non-employment income (i.e. investments), and/or a joint sponsor can overcome all of this.

I am trying to get a K-1 Visa for my Fiance who lives in UK. I have had lots of interest from my family and was curious. On here, some have told me that we would be denied a K-1 visa because we are both disabled. How many sponsors could I have?

While applying for a spouse visa in the UK can be straightforward, it is less so if your sponsored is disabled and struggling to meet the financial requirements. However, disabled citizens in the UK are entitled to a benefit known as Disability Living Allowance (DLC). This, in turns, means they are exempt from meeting the strict financial income threshold which is required for spouse visas.

I am not certan about the finacial requirements, but because we are disabled, we are exempt from the wage requirements there.

I was told we would probably get denied the K-1 Visa because we are both disabled. We both love each other,  but to go through the process of a K-1 and then get denied, is a lot of time and money! If we go through the process, get denied and then no marriage, it will be time wasted.

I wish to thank you all on your responses. Before we had looked into him moving here, we reaserched me moving to the UK. It is a much better plan. Expensive yes, but the healthcare is better for us in the UK!

Hello all, My Fiance is coming from the UK. We are applying for a K-1 Visa to get married. I was wondering about his healthcare because he doesn't get it until he becomes a citizen. What can we do in the meantime? He has inhalers that he needs every month and I just looked it up on the internet. They will be expensive to pay per month. Is there anything we could do for his medication needs? He can't go 3 years without his medication.

I live in NY and my fiance lives in the UK. Unfortunatly he has health issues that make it so he cannot work any longer. I am worried that it might be a factor for us getting denied. I had a co-sponsor, because I do not make the minimum enough for wage requirements. If you need any other information, please tell me, thank you for replying to my question!

My Fiance and I are about to try and get a K-1. Would it be dificult to get for disabled people? Would the fact that we are disabled, lead to a denial? I am thinking that the medical will show that we are. Do disabled people have any loopholes? I have my sister agree to be a co-sponsor for us.
