My financee (the USC) is currently a graduate student (Pharmacy) who receives student loans to cover her living expenses. These loans would cover the 125% requirement. Many people say this is not good enough and another sponsor is required. Others say that they can indeed be used to demonstrate ability to support the petitioner (me). This is of grave concern to us as there is nobody else to act as a sponsor.

I've been searching the forums trying to find a definitive answer or at least some anecdotal evidence to get an idea of our chance, one way or another.

Thanks

I don't think so. I was in the same situation, and an attorney told me to get a joint sponsor. USCIS knows she's not going to be in school forever, and they want to know that you're going to have support for an extended period of time - not just until she finishes school. Sorry. :(
