hello is there anybody that is done the whole process especially using IR 1 visa that can tell me if co sponsor is accepted in US manila embassy? please let me know if its accepted or not i am so worried that i cant sleep....

Sleep easy. All visas require an Affidivat of Support, I-864 form. So regardless if you are filing for K1, K3, CR1 or IR1 the petioner (American citizen or LPR) must prove that he can finicial support the applicant (you). If you don't me the 125% percent income, then you must have a co-sponser, or apply for exemption. Read the instructions of the I-864 form for more information.

We know two couples that applied for a Visa with a co-sponser and they were approved. K1 and K3 just have to prove to the Embassy for support. CR1 and IR1 have to go through it twice, first when you submit the I-864 to the NVC, and then again at the Embassy. From comments made by others, the NVC seems to be smooth with all the documents, the Embassy seems to be much more strict. Make sure to submit all the requirements and keep a set for your interview. One thing that has had to one couple is that they wanted a notarized signed I-864 with the pentitoner and co-sponser signatures. It would be wise to print out 3 of the forms and sign all three. They always seem to want the original doucment even through for CR-1 and IR-1 you send the original to the NVC, and then want another original at the interview.

Good Luck

Yes, co-sponsor is accepted on IR's. I have a friend who just recently had her interview last July 30th. IR is considered Immigrant Visa but for us K1 Visa filers it's nonimmigrant so co-sponsor is not accepted. So goodluck to you.

" but for us K1 Visa filers it's nonimmigrant so co-sponsor is not accepted."

That's not correct. Co sponsors for K visas are accepted most all the time at USEM. Just not accepted when the co sponsor doesn't meet the financial requirements.

The bolded above is not correct. K visas do not use the I-864 form until after the visa is in hand, the intending immigrant has entered the US and filed to adjust status. All do have to get over the public charge concern.

Manila seems not to have a problem with co-sponsors for CR or IR visa applicants, because NVC has already dealt with the affidavit of support in these cases.
