Hey Vjers,

Just curious to know, can we be denied a visa due to insufficient financial funds, I am a full time student, and work barely part time, last year I made 5k, but my mom has agreed to be a co-sponsor, and she makes well over the poverty guidelines, but even though she is our co-sponsor and makes more than enough can they still deny us because I don't make enough?....thanks for any help! :star:

If your consulate allows co-sponsors and they make more than enough for their own household size plus your fiance, then they won't deny you for lack of finances.

As long as you have a co-sponsor and the combined finances meet the requirement you should be fine.

Most consulates go by 125% for a K-1 because you will be needing 125% soon after entry and marriage for AOS.
