I-134 Question.

[james1970 0]

Hi,

I will need a co-sponsor for my application and I need to know what I can and can't use. My parents are willing to help, but I am unsure of one thing with them, they have some income, but I feel like the majority of their income is social security as they are retired. Would I be able to use my parents as co-sponsors?

Thanks for any help.

You can use them if their income is sufficient enough to meet or surpass the poverty guidelines for your family as well as their own. I would have a back up just in case it's not. Good luck

Look up what the 125% poverty line is for everyone under their "household" number (your fiancee and everyone on listed as a dependent on there latest tax return). Also only one of them can be used as a co-sponsor so use the one with the highest income preferably, if one of them can pass that then you are good. Aside from income they can also use property value, funds in bank, stock, ect..... Other people on this site could tell you more...

Yes, they can use social security as a form of income. If it is sufficeint for the family size (their family size plus your fiancee) then you are fine

its 100% of poverty line for the 134. 184 is 120%.

its 100% of poverty line for the 134. 184 is 120%.

I-134 is 100% if you are military and some consulates but most consulates apply the same rules to the I-134 as pertains to the I-864 which is 125%.
