hello everyone,

I need your advices:

My fiance and I apply for K1,that was aproved last month and my interview is on December 20th,everyting is good except: he hasn't worked for the last 2 years because he was in the college and He got his second degree recently,so not taxes returns, but he had worked many many years before this.he has his own house,and no debts. now he is in his internship ( no salary) ,and he is looking for a job also.

does we need a co-sponsor? is it necesary?

if we necesarily need it , Would my father/permanent resident be able to co-sponsor me with the I134?

my father is a permanet resident , and he has worked for 1 year 6 month , he has enough income, he lives in PA,USA.

If he sign this form , is it posible for the CO think it's suspicious that the father of hers in the US is co-sponsoring. It could raise questions as how how you came to know her and if the engagement is just to get her to the US...

this is my story: MY older sister came to US, because she won the lottery visa, then she became american citizen, then she apply a visa for her peruvian husband , then she applied for the permant residence of our Father, and then Mother. So 3 member of my family lives there, father , mother and older sister.

my fiance say his relatives doesn't like sign this I-134 and and his close friends are far away...

If you already assuming that it would raise questions, then it probably would. They would probably already assume that the relationship may not be true and you will probably would have to explain it to them. It's up to them to accept your explanation, but you're gambling that either they accept or not.

You need to find another cosponsor if you want a peace of mind, rather than stress over if the CO during the interview is willing to accept your dad/cosponsor or not and more likely they will not accept it.

You said your fiance owns a house with no debts. If he can get an appraisal that shows he has enough equity in it to support you for 10 years then you will not need a co-sponsor.

Not quite. Assets have to be equal to at least three times the shortage in income for the petitioner of a K visa. You're getting confused with another aspect of the affidavit of support, which is the number of years of SSA work credits an immigrant needs before the affidavit of support is no longer enforceable.

Qualifying on assets alone is possible, but a consulate might be reluctant to accept home equity as the only asset. The problem is that you can't cash out the equity a little bit at a time to pay the bills and feed your family without incurring debt, and it would be difficult to make payments on that debt without any income. The exception would be a reverse mortgage, where you sign your home over to a bank and they pay you for it with monthly checks. Reverse mortgages are generally only available to people 62 or older. Consulates tend to view home equity as a sort of emergency stash you can borrow against, but the practicality of actually getting your hands on some of that cash depends on having at least some income. People have had better luck qualifying on assets alone when some or all of those assets were liquid - cash, securities, etc.

To the OP: Hopefully, you haven't tried to hide the fact that many of your family members have already immigrated to the US. A consulate will sometimes suspect that the beneficiary's family in the US may have set up the relationship in order to help their relative immigrant. If there's any connection whatever between the petitioner and the beneficiary's family members then it's best if this stuff is explained in the evidence included with the petition package. It's more difficult for the consulate to return a petition to USCIS with a recommendation that the approval of the petition be revoked if the reason they are citing is something which USCIS knew about when they approved the petition originally.

Being introduced by or having connections with the family of the beneficiary is a big deal at some consulates, but it's not always a deal breaker. If you were introduced to your fiance by a member of your family then you should be honest about it with the consulate. If you were not then they might suspect you were anyway. I don't know how much of an issue this is at the US consulate in Peru.

Be honest is the best way to make this process.

my fiance haven't known/met with my family, any kind of relationship . my fiance Lives in Nevada state , and my family live in Pensylvanya.

I gave this information and It was included with the petition package. Also we met on a Language learning web site , so my family hadn't introduced me to my fiance.

I asked this to my fiance , and he said :

if the CO ask about the co-sponsor you should to give then the form I-134 from your father. they don't suspect nothing becuse we send this information 5 month ago, so from June to October they never ask about that. they won't ask about that on the interview.

I am confident , I want to get my visa that day , I don't want to do any mistakes.

do you recommen to showthem t them the I-134 from my father ?

Jims reply was good, but to asnwer your questions directly

1. Yes you needa co-sponsor

2. Yes, your father an LPR can be the co-sponsor

3. You will not be issued the visa without a co-sponsor

The use of your father as a co-sponsor MAY raise some concerns about fraud. Be prepared to addres those with documentation that you met your fiancee in another way.

If you can find another co-sponsor that would be better, but you WILL need one.
