Hi chrisana...welcome to VJ!

Your USC petitioner is required to fill up his I-134 and mail it to you. Also, your petitioner is required to send you the supporting documents for the I-134. You will submit your petitioner's I-134 and the supporting documents to the Embassy when you go in for your interview.

If your petitioner's income falls below 125% of the poverty line for your petitioner's household size and for the the state your petitioner lives in, then your petitioner will either need to prove sufficient assets to make up for the shortfall in income, or your petitioner will need a cosponsor.

For every dollar of income below 125% of the poverty line, your petitioner must show at least three dollars in the bank, or your petitioner can show assets which can be quickly converted to cash without substantially harming the petitioner's standard of living.

Your petitioner's cosponsor will be required to have an income above 125% of the poverty line for the cosponsor's household size and for the state in which the cosponsor lives. The cosponsor will fill up their own I-134 and provide their own supporting documents. Your petitioner will send those documents to you and you will submit those documents to the Embassy when you go in for your interview.

Keep in mind that the U.S. Embassy Manila does not always accept cosponsors. The USEM tends to accept cosponsors when the petitioning couple is young, educated, and upwardly mobile. The consular officers at the U.S. Embassy Manila do not want anyone to go to the U.S. if they are going to become a public charge.

I hope this helps.

Good luck on your visa journey...I hope you get your NOA2 approval malapit na!
