Another support question.....

[Darkchild80 0]

I recently sent my 129f packet. I wrote that I am a graduate student "unemployed." I recently graduated with my Masters degree and I have job offers. I will be working by the time my honey is in the interview stage. Will I still be required to find a co-sponsor? I don't have anyone that could sponsor my sweetheart.

I have my tax forms for three years and I was above the poverty level. Advice?

First of all ---

You won't need any tax forms for the consulate interview. If you have started your job by the time you have to send your fiancee the I-134, you can get a letter from your new employer, as directed in the instructions for the I-134. If your slary is good enough, you won't need a co-sponsor. However, just in case the job offers don't work out, it would be good to at least tentatively identify a potential co-sponsor.

Darkchild,

You don't provide the information necessary to hazard an answer to your question.

But you do provoke another question - how does an unemployed student have an income that excedes the poverty level? (Do you have your own personal endowment?)

Play it safe and get a co-sponsor. You may not have a job or a decent history of pay checks by the interview stage. Consider it an insurance policy. This is just the opinion of another unemployed-but-not-for-long-petitioner-with-a-Masters-degree who is getting a co-sponsor.

I would try to get a co-sponsor just as a backup plan, you never know what can happen!
