I believe the actual affidavit of support must come from your fiancee whether or not they meet the required financial guidelines. If not, a co-sponsor will fill out identical forms stating their financial statistics and their intent to provide support if necessary.

Since your fiancee is the one marrying you and supposedly supporting you, she´s the one that will be filing the affidavit. You can get a co-sponsor if she doesn´t meet the requirement but it´s advisable that this co-sponsor is someone close to your fiancee, since they´re co-sponsoring her, and not you.

The fact is that my fiancée has been doing a professionnal training since last year. She's been working monly part time and therefore doesn't meet the minimum requirement. I wonder if it will do any good that she files the affidavit. This why I asked friend of ours to file it.

Even if she doesn't meet the requirement should she file an affidavit too?

Yes...she has to fill out an affidavit of support even if she does not meet the requirements, as well as the co-sponsor.

Yes. Your fiancee will need to fill out the affidavit of support even if she does not meet minimum financial requirements. Then she will also need a co-sponsor. The co-sponsor can be anyone willing and able to provide the necessary financial support.

I see that you're going through France, which is not a high fraud country. I would agree with Laura that in some circumstances, a co-sponsor that is a friend/family member of the petioner would be preferable to one of the beneficiary. Sometimes a consulate might see a co-sponsor being a friend of the beneficiary as a red flag for fraud.
