Co-sponsor advice

[K-Marie 0]

My fiancé and I are planning to start the application for a K-1 visa next year once I finish my masters. He currently has a job and enough savings to support us until I can find a job in the US, however after looking at the information concerning finances I think that we will have to use a co-sponsor just to be on the safe side. The only person we could use would be his mum however she is planning on retiring next year during the time we will be applying.

My question is can you use someone who is retired but has savings as your co-sponsor?

Any advice would be great. Thanks.

If their retirement income plus assets are enough to meet the requirement for their household size plus the foreign fiance(e), then yes.

Pensions and social security are income, just like a job.

A thought--you might want to start the petition before you finish your degree by a few months. Then you aren't waiting around for the full 8 months after graduation.

Thank you Nich-Nick, very helpful. I think I will start the process I few months before I graduate I don't know why I hadn't thought about it.
