Hello. I haven't found a similar question, so I'm posting it here.

My USC fiancee is currently in graduate school and only survives through government student loans. In order for us to process a K1 visa I believe a co-sponsor will be needed, and that they will have to fill out their own I-134.

If the potential co-sponsor has filed for bankruptcy within the last year, do you think that could pose a problem? (the co-sponsor currently has a sustainable job).

thank you for your help!

The co-sponsor's credit history is not investigated nor is the petitioner at any stage of the immigration proceedings. The consulate is looking for established income that meets or exceeds the published guidelines...

If your co-sponsor has provable income of 125% of the poverty level for his household size (including your beneficiary) they are acceptable - as long as that particular Embassy accepts co-sponsors (as some do NOT).

Hey there.

I'm pretty sure you mean the I-864... right? I checked out the I-134 and now I'm a little unsure as to what's the difference :wacko: I had never heard of the I-134 before now, so thanks for that. Anyway, I agree with the previous poster in that I don't thing the bankruptcy thing would be a big deal BUT the most important thing to consider with a co-sponser IMO is their past tax returns. If your co-sponser has filed taxes the past three years and has been making pretty good money (as previous poster said at least 125% above poverty) then you should be golden. If your co-sponser (or your USC finace for that matter) is employed and is in good standing, a letter of employment from their employer could go a long way too.

Ok, sorry I just found this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/60692-what-is-the-difference-between-i-134-and-i-864/

Perhaps you are correct, the I-134 may be what you want according to what's in that thread. I have only heard of the I-864 discussed on Visa Journey which is why the confusion :blink:
