Your wife will have to show that she has income to support her family which is 3 people ( you , her and the child )

For the I 864 you have to have 125% of poverty. For this year it is 22,887 but expect a new and higher requirement to be released soon. If she does not have this level of income she will need either 5x the shortage ( but the consulate can refuse to use this ) or another person that make enough to cover you ( the consulate can also refuse this )

The co sponsor has to be a US citizen. A friend can sign the papers but some places want the co sponsor to be a relative and others don't allow them. Nigeria is a hard consulate to go through not sure how they are about non related co sponsors

Are you filing for Naturalization? I am asking because your profile says "Naturalization." If so, as far as I understand you don't need to file an I-134 affidavit of support, so in turn you won't need a co-sponsor.

If you are not filing for Naturalization, which papers are you filing in Turkey? Do you mean that a petition filed by your wife is going to be sent to the Turkish Embassy? I am asking all of these questions to try and help, not to be nosy! It helps to have accurate information when you're trying to help someone.

If you will be interviewing in Turkey for an immigrant visa, then you should probably do some research here on VisaJourney about the consulate in Turkey. Maybe others going through or who went through that Embassy can tell you what to expect as far as the affidavit of support and who would be accepted as the co-sponsor.

Okay deepblue...forget all the questions I asked above. I see now that you are filing for a K-3 visa. I would still do a little searching in this forum to see what the situation is with the Embassy in Turkey. However, it seems that if you have at least one person sponsoring you who meets the income requirements then you should be okay. One tip that I picked up from reading through some threads is that the co-sponsor must meet the 125% poverty requirements for their own household and include you in that number.

deepblue: click on this link for the current (2009) poverty guidlines: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf. Check to see if your wife meets the requirements right now. Whatever income she has can probably be used to determine if she qualifies. If your wife does not qualify, she/you will have to find a joint sponsor. The forms I-864 or I-134 (affidavit of support forms) include the requirements for a joint sponsor so I suggest you read that information also. Also keep in mind that if your interview will be next year, the 2010 poverty guidlines will apply.

Bottom line here is that none of us here on VJ will be able to tell you definitively who will be accepted as a joint sponsor (if you need one). Only the Embassy can make that decision. My advice: FIRST determine if your wife will be able to sponsor you based upon the guidelines above. If she is unable to sponsor you, then find someone else who is willing able to sponsor you and go from there. You may be able to contact the Emabssy in Ankara after your interview is scheduled to ask your specific question about the co-sponsor.
