Confused Please help

[KnightAndMagpie 7]

In my experience (coming over here as a K-1), my fiance's mother was my co-sponsor (both him and his mother are US-born, US citizens); she's a relative to my hubby, but not to me.

I think the "can of worms" deal concerns people who have family in the US and are co-sponsored by them, even if they're going over on a K-1 -- it might imply that the beneficiary is using the petitioner to be with the rest of the family. While it might be completely innocent, it can be perceived as something else entirely.

Can someone clarify this, please? Have any K-1 immigrants gone over with their family members as co-sponsors, and adjusted status successfully?

Gary and Alla,

You are very rude. I thank you for trying to help but please be nice. I had a valid question and there is no reason for you to attack people just because you know what you are talking about. Manners go a long way!. Thank You

From the I-864 instructions...basically the same as the I-134 when it comes to counting household size:

Your household size includes yourself and the following individuals, no matter where they live: any spouse, any dependent children under the age of 21, any other dependents listed on your most recent Federal income tax return, all persons being sponsored in this affidavit of support, and any immigrants previously sponsored with a Form I-864 or FormI-864 EZ affidavit of support whom you are still obligated to support.

NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE, any dependent children under age of 21. Any OTHER dependents listed on your most recent Federal income tax return.

Pretty simple to understand, but difficult to interpret when you want it to mean something else.

If your fiance needs $32,327.50 to sponsor family of 5 and you said he makes $29,000 and receives child support, does he receive at least $62.26 a week in child support for his daughter. If so, you should have just at the limit, if not you need a co-sponsor.
