Self Sponsor for k1 Visa?

[Turkeyluvr 2]

Is it possible for my Turkish fiance to self sponsor? We are just curious because throughout our petition application, I was still living in Turkey. I just returned to the states and I'm looking for jobs--which will obviously take some time. I don't want to find a co-sponsor (its not possible for us because my parents are over 65 and only receiving money for social security). He has enough saving and assets to take care of the both of us for a year without work. I've read that self sponsoring is possible for some countries, but not others.

I tried calling the embassy in Ankara, but because of the bayram holiday, they are closed.

Any US citizen or Green Card holder can be a joint sponsor. Not only a parent.

Assets (including cash) held outside the US are considered at a 5:1 ratio. Meaning for a household of 2 the required income amount is $18,387. The amount of assets needed would be $91,935.

If those assets were held in the US the ratio would be 3:1 so the amount needed would be $55,161.

The USC must petition, you can have a co-sponsor either a USC or green card holder.
