Is co-sponsorship allowed for K1 visa in the philippines?

Is co-sponsorship allowed for K1 visa in the philippines?

There is no co or joint sponsors with a K visa, period, regardless of the consulate. The I-134 is not like the I-864 where there is a provision for a joint sponsor. If an I-134 is requested by the consulate to assist the conoff to determine if the applicant will or wont become a public charge, only a sponsor is used. The most logical is the USC fiance/spouse, but if they do not meet the poverty guidelines a close family member or friend can be used.

See: 9 FAM 40.41 N4.6-3 Use of Form I-134, Affidavit of Support Under INA 213A (CT:VISA-823; 07-14-2006)

http://foia.state.gov/masterdocs/09fam/0940041N.pdf Take care when reading the entire document to distinguish between the sections on the I-134 and the I-864 (not used for K visas).

I have heard people mention a notorized tax return but on the instructions for the i-324 I don't see that is required just the affidavidit of support...

Can someone answer this for me before I take a leap off a building. My fiance does not make enough to cover myself and her children so I'm getting another sponsor to fill out the 1-134. Does his I-134 he fills out have to cover myself, her and her three children or just myself (the beneficiary) and anyone dependent on him in his household. Please I need help because this process is driving me insane.

My household size is 2. I am going by the 2007 poverty guidelines from the form I-864 and my annual income just barely surpasses the 125% poverty line of $17,112 - by about $2,000.

1. Should I be concerned about this? Will this raise any red flags?

2. If yes, is there any additional information I should supply with my I-134?

I do, of course, have a bank account, life insurance (through my employer), a 403b account, and a 529 account.

Any advice would be helpful and thanks, in advance.

does tax returns really has to be notarized,? aside from having a notarized Affidavit of Support (I-134)? what I understand is that the income you declared on your Aff of Support is the exact amount on the tax returns..

is this necessary? it's confusing, I just read this thread, and my interview will be two months from now.

I dont believe so. Most threads have said that a transcript of your tax return is ok. You can request these free from the IRS. Others have said that photo copies were accepted as well but my understanding is the transcript is your best option. You can download the form from the IRS website and then fax it in to the office for your area. Offices are listed on the application. You can also request the w2s on the same request. Good luck!

You will find that much of the government documentation is vague at best. Many folks have found that the different Embassy's require above and beyond what the standard forms say they do. My contact with the State Department lead me to understand that the Consul can decide to request or require what ever they wish. It is a judgement call and the more proof you have the better your chances without administrative review.

His household would be himself, his wife, any other dependents and you the beneficiary. It would not cover her and her children. Hope that helps. Look to the guidelines posted for the I-864 and that will help I am sure. Those are the instructions used to calculate the poverty guidelines and household size. Good luck!

QUESTION 1:

Is the "INCOME" stated in the I-134 form "GROSS" or "NET" income???

because if i count my annual GROSS income.. i can exceed the poverty guideline

but if i count my NET income, i fall short of that guideline

QUESTION 2:

i am living in a house with my older brother, one cousin and one uncle.. all of them are independent and has work.

i plan on leaving to rent an apartment once my wife comes..

do i still count the people im living with right now under household size?? or should i not because i am clearly not supporting them??
