One sponsor is all that is allowed (if the Embassy in question permits a co-sponsor) Your mother can co-sponsor you without your dad as long as her income is above the 125% poverty guideline for herself and any other dependents she claims + your fiance.

If her income isn't sufficient then she'd need your dad's income.

You can have 4357 co-sponsors but only one will count and that one must make enough by themselves to support themselves, your fiancee and any other dependents they have.

Yes, you rmother can sponsor without your father or his permission. If they have joint tax returns ONLY her income counts and must be delineated from his by w-2s, 1099s or other means.

For the AOS you can have more than one co-sponsor, for the visa, NO.

Gary...

Can you have 4358 co-sponsors...

No can do. Incomes are not combined. Your answer was spot on until this. The father could co-sponsor INSTEAD of the mother and then only the father's income would count, but either way, only one can sponsor and the incomes on a joint return must be delineated for each person.

Incidentally, disability counts as income and I find it hard to believe a fully disabled person would not qualify given the rather low income needed to qualify. $1600 per month will do it.

I went to the interview prepared with two co-sponsors. Like the others are saying they only use one, but I think it's a good idea to go to your interview prepared with more than one.

It will be worth your while just in case there is a problem with one that you weren't expecting; also, it makes you look more organised, which is a good thing too!

Best of luck

Since the Consulate in Casablanca has been requiring the I-864 rather than the I-134, I would think they could combine their incomes if needed with one parent filling out the I-864 and the other the I-864a. However, since she is asking if her mom can co-sponsor without the approval of her father, maybe the father is not willing to be a co-sponsor.

FYI... I believe you will need the I-864 instead of the I-134 for a K1 from what I have read here. To be safe, I sent both to my fiance.

Is the I-864 strictly when you have a co-sponsor?

No, it's whether you have a co-sponsor or not.

[Golden Gate 530]

No, it's whether you have a co-sponsor or not.

Ah, thank you. I better send mine off then.

[KittyPollitt 284]

If your mother comingles her assets with her husband and they file jointly, Casablanca will absolutely want an I 864a from her husband. Just and FYI.

I am still very confused.. i was on the consulate website they gave me and it said i can to 2 joint sponsors with me!!! my mom doesnt live with me..i make 9,000 from my disability and she makes about 12,00 from her job.. together we make the 19,000 they ask for..Will i need to find another sponsor and not use my mom?? im sooooo worried i have no one that is willing to help me other then her...

you cannot combine your assets with her's to reach the poverty level. Your mother, as a joint sponsor has to make the guideline herself.
