Age Limit For Cosponsor

[Kenneth107 0]

I will be having a cosponsor for the K-1 Visa. I have a question regarding the cosponsor, and perhaps someone could offer their opinion: Is there a maximum age limit that the Manila U.S. Embassy considers as a cut-off point? For example, if the cosponsor is 65+ years old, can that be held as a valid reason not to issue the K-1, even if the cosponsor qualifies financially? I was told this at the Embassy that age is a major factor when considering the sponsor or even the cosponsor, but I find this hard to fathom do to the fact of so many seniors (65+) that I have seen there with a much younger fiancee (20 years old or so).

The requirements are for income, not age. Good luck

While that is technically true, using a co-sponsor in the PI is a bit iffy than most posts. Consular officers would rather see a close friend of similar age as sponsor than an aged parent but 65 is hardly aged. A sponsor that will actually be around to fulfil the obligation is preferred.
