Questions About Sponsorship

[R&AINC 1]

Hi,

We have just submitted our initial K-1 application. According to the tracking number it was received on March 11th.

So we probably have 4 to 6 months wait time according to the various discussions here.

My fiance ( Sponsor ) is currently in the USA, and she is a Student. She will graduate this year, but she does not have any income. Her parents are on work's comp, so they do not have a real income.

So my question is:

Can a friend of us do the sponsorship?

Can I self sponsor myself? (I am currently collecting unemployment but would it be enough to have a bank account with an amount over the poverty line requirement?

Any other options?

Second questions:

It says that I need police certificates. I lived in the USA for more than one year. Do I also need police certificates from there?

Thank you.

And good luck to all

1)) possibly.. depends on the consulate

2) depends on the consulate... most likely not.. you need to have 3 times the 125% poverty limit in the bank?

3) no PC for the USA needed

Workman's comp is income, it is awarded income and counts. The workmans comp award letter, usually from the state dept of labor, will state the amount to be paid. Workman's comp beneficiaries are generally required to be reinstated to jobs upon recovery from injury. Workman's comp is NOT taxable income, same as child support, but it does count as "income" with back up documentation.
