Need co-sponsor or not ? Plz help !!

[fin fin 5]

I am getting the affidavit of support for my fiance for him to bring to his interview. I went to my lawyer today who was being very rude, he told me that I do not need a co-sponsor for a fiance visa although I made only $9200 2010 working August to December. He said that I will not need a co-sponsor until my fiance gets here and is adjusting his status...Could you guys please tell me whether or not I will need a co-sponsor ?

see link for poverty data. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States

you must be 125% of poverty level, and for family of 2, in 2011, in lower 48 states you must make 1.25 times $14,710

ok, so does this mean that i will need a co-sponsor, because the lawyer was saying i would only need one for a non-immigrant visa...?

K1 IS a non-immigrant visa, but it's considered part of the IV(Immigration Visa) unit at embassies. However where you're interviewed doesn't really matters, it matters that K1 is a non-immigrant visa with immigration intent. Your lawyer has something mixed up there.

I could be wrong, but i believe K-1 is non-immigrant (in itself). Upon approval and arrival and marriage, you apply for adjustment of status to immigrant (permanent resident). So therefore, i believe K-1 is technically non-immigrant in itself.

Isn't it tax time now? Wouldn't it go by your 2011 taxes now... My fiancé just got his taxes back for 2011 and I will need a cosponsor seeing as he made only 11000 this year and we are a family of 4....

It is tax time and usually you get your W-2s at the end of January. But everyone in the states is case by case on their taxes.

It is mandatory to have your taxes done by April 17th unless you file for an extension.

If you have done your taxes for 2011 then you can send those, but if you have not then the US embassy will still accept the 2010 because we have not passed April 17th.

Your Link is absolutely useless for USCIS Guildlines.

And you need a better defined words from me. This is a Immigration Forum. Not if you qualify for Food Stamps.

I think you are wrong my friend. I Googled several links like the one below and they back up what he posted. It is for foods stamps, it is based on income requirements for a K1 ISA petitioner. If you don't meet them, you need a cosponosr. No cosponsor, no VISA. I witnessed it when I was at the US Embassy in Manila during my fiancees interview baxk in 2010, when some beneficiares petitioner did not meet tthe minumum requirements. THey will not let anyone become a public charge to the U.S., hence that is why there are income requirements.

USCIS has same $14,710 for family of 2. this is multiplied by 1.25 to make $18,387 for family of 2 in lower 48 states... as my prior post stated.
