Co-Sponsors K-3

[Noi3125 1]

Concerning co-sponsors in BKK...

I am not sure when but the Bangkok Embassy has stopped accepting co-sponsors on non-immigrant visas (I already posted on SAWASDEE). I have heard there are other embassies with the same policy and thought perhaps people might have some solutions or suggestions concerning this problem.

According a an email from the Bangkok embassy they will not accept cosponsors on an I-134 because it is not a legally binding contract as in the case of an I-864.

In our case we have applied for a K-3 which includes the IR1. Because of a family member being ill we have decided to pursue the K-3 while we wait for an IR1 interview, case is complete at NVC. All this to say my co-sponsor filled out both an I-864A for IR1 and a I-134 for K-3. Also my co-sponsor is a household member... if that might make a difference.

As a student for the past 8 years I require a co-sponsor for income requirements. In addition to my cosponsor I have signed a contract for a job starting June that will make my yearly income much above the requirement.

Does anyone have any advice in this situation. I know some Embassys use the I-864 for the K-3, is there anyway I can convince the BKK embassy to do the same?

We still plan on getting the IR1... we were going to fly back for the interview... I believe this was exactly the intention of the K-3. But we really would like the K-3 so that my family member can see my husband again before she passes away.

Our interview is scheduled for next month... we are going knowing we might be denied on these grounds but I thought I would see if anyone has any advice or experience.

Thanks so much for everyone's help.

More that some embassies apply the I-864 guidelines/requirements to the I-134.

This will not be the first time someone tried to submit the wrong document of support. The 134 is required in K 3 cases. There is no opition to submit another document.

Last time this was done the visa was denied. The BKK embassy will not accept anything other than what the procedure provides for.

I know from experiance that they could care less about your family members medical condition.

K. Noi as for the K-3, they will not accept cosponsors on an I-134 at the USEM in Bangkok for sure.

I don't have much an experience here on this, but maybe you can try to go for an interview for K-3 first? Then wait for IR-1 to be schedule for the interview anyway since for IR-1, you can have a co-sponsor for an I-864.

I just got my interview date today from NVC, it is on May 4.

Khun Mommy,

This is the best news I have heard in days. Congratulations on your interview. So much for assigning interviews only the second week of each month. This is two weeks after the second week of March and two weeks before the second week of April. I guess they are getting an early start. I am really excited for your interview. We are so much further behind you. If we could only get a May interview my problems would be solved . Thanks for your advice. I think that this is what we have decided to do is to attend the K-3 interview and then wait for the IR-1 interview.

Take care,

Noi

If there is ANYWAY you can go for the IR-1 do so. K3 is a piece of sh!t compared to a IR!!

You cannot substitute the I-864 for the I-134 to get a K visa. Consulates are actually forbidden by law to accept the I-864 for those cases. If you don't qualify as sponsor, your remaining choice is the CR1/IR1 path using the I-864/I-864a combination for a joint sponsor who is a household member.
