Any US citizen or LPR (green card holder) can be a sponsor.

Some consulates may prefer to accept family members as co/joint sponsors. And there are a small number of consulates that rarely accept cosponsors for K visas.

Why is it rare for them to accept co=sponsors with K visas? I am bit nervous because my boyfriend is trying to come from Ireland and my parents have to be co-sponsors since I am a student. A bit worried now.. :/

I think you misread (I did too on the first time, but I know the answer, so I caught it)

There are a small number of consulates who rarely accept cosponsors. For example the Philippines (one of a small subset of the total consulates) rarely accepts cosponsors for K visas.

Turn it around, Most consulates accept cosponsors, but not all.

In order to provide the original poster with the best information, they would first need to tell us which consulate they are going through. During this phase of the visa process it is VITAL to ensure that you seek out advice which is specific to your consulate, because they each have their own process quirks. I doubt that you will have trouble with this going through Ireland. Try reading in your regional forum, or going through the embassy reviews (link at the top of the page).

Breathe deep..... As my fiancé from Colombia says... Wooooooos Fraba.... Woooos Fraba

OK. When dealing with your K1 visa at time of interview you must prove the ability to financially support him because he is not legally able to work. You will do this using the I134 form and providing supporting documents. When filling out the I134 form, what the embassy is looking for is basically the same information that will be required at a later date after he is here and you are married.

At that later date after he is here and you and he are married you will need apply for adjustment of status (AOS). The form you will use for adjustment of status is the I864(I864A most likely in your case). This form is where you are giving solid binding evidence that your new husband will not be a mooch off society.

Since you are a student and do not have the level of income required to provide this assurance you must find someone who will.

It appears you will be using your Father as will I. Your father will need to provide first the I134 with supporting evidence for your interview and will (unless your income skyrockets soon) also need to provide the I864 document with supporting evidence when you apply for AOS. The I864 instructions should be used as a guide in conjunction with the I134 instructions to get the drift of what the embassy is looking for.

It is important that you also provide a form I134 with your personal financial situation (whatever it might be) if it is requested at the interview so have it prepared and ready to provide. With as much supporting evidence as you can.

Your father is promising that he will not allow his future son in-law receive benefits such as welfare etc. from the USA and is providing proof that he has the ability to back the promise up.

Barring extenuating circumstances it appears you have very little to worry about when it comes to this particular issue. As long as your father has enough income to support himself and all other dependents within his household to include your fiancé (meaning 125% of the poverty line levels noted in the I864 instructions)you should be good to go.

Don't freak out about someone saying that some embassies don't let you have a co-sponsor etc. Those are usually either high fraud countries or high volume countries. I am quite sure that Ireland has a low fraud to visa ratio (unsubstantiated opinion).

Keep in mind I am far from an expert on this and I am currently asking many of the same questions you are. I'm just passing on what has been handed to me.

It is in your best interest to read the wiki pages, guides and especially the tips and questions in the guide section.

Remember your K-1 visa is a hybrid visa of a sort. It is technically a non-immigrant visa but is in most ways looked upon as an immigrant visa (on embassy site etc). Be careful when you are gathering your facts as this tid bit might make for some confusion.

Good Luck, I hope this helps and God Bless!

Just an FYI, the US does not have a "boyfriend visa"... You might keep in mind to refer to him as your fiance in all communications as this is a vital distinction.
