question about the 125% over poverty line thing

[bogartnoir 0]

i'm curious about the paperwork for the sponsors...

i do not currently have a job as i am disabled. my parents have said they would co-sponsor (and make well over 125%).

if i were able to hold a part-time job, however, would both my parents and i fill out a form?

thanks in advance!

Your situation is identical to my best friends situation on their visa. I am no expert but what I can say is how things went for her. She was unemployed and a full-time student. She filled out the I-134 form for herself and then had her mother only co-sponsor for them. Her fiance did not have work at that time either. Everything went totally fine and they have been married for 2 years now. If you search around you can find alot of what other people have done. I am having to get a co-sponsor myself because of my student status. Good luck.

Whether you can use a co-sponsor or not is dependent on the Embassy your fiance will be interviewing with. Most will accept a co-sponsor but some will not.

If you are using a co-sponsor you are still the primary sponsor and must provide all of the same documents and supporting evidence as your mother. Your father will not need to fill out the same even if he is on her tax forms unless you are using his income as well.

you can find more information in the faq link above

good luck

You can't combine the parents' income. In addition to the petitioners own, you get an I-134 and supporting documentation from one parent who can qualify alone.
