If the sponsor can't afford to take care of a wife by needing a co-sponsor he should not be allowed to petition anyone...

Petitioners in fiancé(e) (K1) nonimmigrant visa cases are generally expected to provide the adequacy of their own financial resources to ensure that an alien, after admission into the United States, will not become primarily dependent on the US Government for subsistence. While our immigration law does not disallow joint sponsorships for K nonimmigrant visa applicants, the mere submission of an I-134 Affidavit of Support from joint sponsors is not sufficient to establish that the alien is not likely to become a public charge. Accordingly, we make a thorough evaluation of other factors, such as the sponsor’s motives in submitting the Form I-134, the sponsor’s relationship to the applicant or petitioner, the length of time the sponsor and applicant have known each other, etc. An I-134 Affidavit of Support submitted by a casual friend or distant relative who has little or no personal knowledge of the applicant has limited value. Unlike the I-864 filed by joint sponsors in immigrant visa cases, the I-134 is not legally binding and imposes no legal obligation on the joint sponsor to make good on his or her promises. Please be assured that we look at the totality of circumstances in assessing the credibility of joint sponsorships

Yep and there has been "talk" of knocking out co sponsors for all immigration visas in the near future.

We have way more than enough people on welfare already. No need to import more!

People had circumstance that prevent them showing income.

Sickness, Taking time off work, Divorce.

I know a couple of people whom have used co sponsors and they are pretty well off in terms of money, but due to having to show income for a prior year they had to use a Co Sponsor at the USEM.

Hi there, my fiance was a waiter when he filed the I-134 and didn't meet the 125% poverty line so we were co-sponsored by his father. I was questioned about it during the interview but since i still ended up getting the visa, i can personally say that having a co-sponsor for a K1 is acceptable. USEM Manila by the way.
