Good Day Everyone, 

I am reaching out to ask for guidance and to see if anyone has gone through a similar experience. 

After waiting for 6 months, my wife was finally had her biometrics appointment on January 3, 2021. (We had originally submitted her change of status documents in June 2020 after being married in May. She came on a fiancé visa) However, at this point, we are unsure how long the next step of the process is going to take because the pandemic has virtually halted the system. Because of this, I am worried that something negative will happen once my wife's passport expires next month. I have attempted to get in touch with USCIS to seek advice, but getting past the computerized screening voice to speak with a real person is impossible.

My wife is from Egypt and their diplomatic services aren't known for their efficiency. So I am afraid that if we try to renew her passport, we will be delayed a long time or USCIS might request her passport at some point while we are waiting for it to be renewed. Part of me just wants to let the passport expire, but I am unsure of what will happen. She is my wife, so I do not think she can be deported, right? We were legally married in the US after she came over on a finance visa. 

Has anyone gone through this experience before? Do you have any advice? 

Thank you all in advance. 

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know where I can find out if the Cairo embassy accepts joint-sponsors for the K-1 Visa? I am a student and currently do not in any way meet the 125% threshold.

This is an old post so you should make you own post for your questions.

 

to answer the question: yes both you and co-sponsor needs to fill out I-134. You are still the main sponsor even if your income is not enough.

 

you should also check (maybe in the forum) to figure out if your consulate accepts co-sponsors, not all does.

Thank you Naes. I appreciate the response. Is there an official consulate list that shows which ones accept co-sponsors?

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and thank God I found it. I am undergoing the K-1 process at the moment with my Egyptian Fiancee. I am also currently in school. The Consulate in Cairo has emailed me and requested that I submit a I-134 form. Because I am a student there is no way that I will be able to prove, at the moment, that I am worth 125% of above the poverty line. Luckily, I have family members that have stated that they would be happy to co-sponsor. I am confused about how they can co-sponsor and cant seem to find much information online about that process. Does the co-sponsor and I both need to fill out separate I-134 forms? Or is there something else that they need to fill out.

Thanks all
