The substitute sponsor must be related to the intending

immigrant in one of the following ways: spouse, parent,

mother-in-law, father-in-law, sibling, child (at least 18 years

of age), son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brotherin-law, sister-in-law, grandparent, grandchild or legal

guardian. The substitute sponsor must also be a U.S. citizen

or lawful permanent resident.

I don't think you can use him, US citizen because the directions say it must be US citizen or LPR in the US. They require tax returns and proof of employment from the US.

It might red flag if you have a family member sponsor you but i'm not sure, that would probably be country specific, but also Philippines doesn't usually let people have co-sponsor for K-1 visa.

My friend ( a petitioner ) had his father co-sponsor a K-1 from Philippians and he brought tons of evidence of the co-sponsor and got approved though. He said he thinks its because it was his father that did it.

Your petitioner is your sponsor, and is required to submit their I-134 and it's accompanying financial documents. However, if your petitioner does not meet the income requirements, then they can try to use a cosponsor in order to meet the income requirements. In that case, both the sponsor and the cosponsor will be required to submit an I-134 and its accompanying financial documents.

The cosponsor should be a close family member. An aunt might be OK.

The U.S. Embassy Manila sometimes allows cosponsors. A friend of mine successfully used a cosponsor at the U.S. Embassy Manila.

I would suggest that if your petitioner uses a cosponsor, have the cosponsor also supply an I-864 along with their I-134. The beneficiary can attempt to submit both forms at their interview. This will show the consular officer that you will have someone to cosponsor you when you adjust your status here in the U.S.

Clarification: the cosponsor should be a close family member of the petitioner.
